In Shou'an Palace, Concubine Qi, who was over seventy years old, sat under the front porch of the hall, watching the little girl in the courtyard play with a kitten.

The little girl held a kitten in her hand and teased the kitten, the kitten stretched out her paws and scratched tentatively, tried a few times, the kitten was annoyed, the cat's eyes were round, staring at the flower fiercely, and pounced.

The little girl hugged the kitten who pounced on her, and the laughter like a silver bell sounded in the courtyard, adding a rare popularity to this silent and cold palace.

"Concubine Niang, the kitten is so naughty. The little girl ran to Concubine Qi with the kitten in her arms, and handed the flower in her hand to Concubine Qi: "It's a pity that this flower, I don't want to fold it like this, if Bei Ziye knows, I don't know how to be angry, Concubine Niangniang, if Bei Ziye asks, you can tell him that it's not that Xiao Jixiang takes care of the flowers carelessly, it's the kitten who is naughty and folds the flowers." ”

Concubine Qi looked at the beautiful flowers in the little girl's hand, "It's just a pot of flowers, how can Hongshi care, don't worry, if he asks, he will have his own palace to speak for you." ”

When Xiao Jixiang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and rushed to Concubine Qi's side and hugged her arm and coquettishly: "Concubine Niangniang is the best." ”

"Let's play. Concubine Qi smiled lightly and pointed to the garden: "Go play with flowers." ”

"Thank you, Tohfee. ”

Xiao Jixiang quickly squatted down, turned around and ran into the garden again.

In the Shou'an Palace in May, the old lady Qi who was lying on the couch leaned over with difficulty, picked up the flowers left by Xiao Jixiang, and looked at the flowers on the orchid path, her eyes became empty and complicated.

Huihua - Jiuzilan, that woman is not like this Jiuzilan, her posture is extremely beautiful, and her reproductive ability is also very prosperous.

Thinking of the woman who followed the Emperor Taishang and didn't know where to go, Concubine Qi's old hand trembled, and an orchid fell from the nails on her hand, and the small flower fell on Concubine Qi's clothes, and the mellow orchid fragrance also floated into her nose, which became sluggish.

"The light and wind are warm and sunny, and there is a fragrance into the compendium. Wildflowers are not found, and the mountain peaks lead to the edge of the stone cliff. A hoarse male voice sounded in the garden, "E-niang, do you still like that pot of orchids?"

Listening to this familiar voice, Concubine Qi had a surprised smile on her face: "Hongshi, how can you come in?"

"E-niang......" Hongshi hurriedly walked to the couch where Concubine Qi was lying, and carefully supported Concubine Qi, who was struggling to sit up: "You slow down." ”

Concubine Qi stretched out her hand to touch her son's old face, but her eyes showed a girlish and simple happiness: "Hongshi, I said it, you can't call me Eniang anymore." ”

Hongshi's throat tightened, and he said with difficulty: "Auntie." ”

Concubine Qi responded happily, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, her son, who had been raised for more than 20 years, was passed on to his younger brother who died early by that ruthless man because of a wrong step, and was posthumously named the heir of Yinzuo, the king of Mujun, and became her nephew.

Looking at the sadness in Concubine Qi's eyes, Hongshi felt a pang of pain in his heart, who is to blame for falling to the point where he is now?

Is it strange that he sent someone to chase and kill Hongyao, who had been trained on foot, but failed, and was captured by Hongyao and sent back to Beijing by Hongyao?

Or blame the Hongyao Eniang who begged for him to survive when his biological father wanted to kill him, if she hadn't entered Amma's mansion at the beginning, there would be no Hongyao, without Hongyao, he wouldn't have hated because of jealousy, murderous because of hatred, and finally came to the point of cannibalism with his siblings, he would not have been succeeded by his biological father, completely lost the opportunity to succeed to the throne, and became an insignificant idle shell of the royal family.

Thinking of Hongyao, who is now sitting on the throne, Hongshi's eyes flashed with fear and jealousy alternately, he is also nearly fifty years old, Hongyao still looks like a handsome man who has been standing for a long time, but he is already like a bad old man, God, for this younger brother, he is too favoritic, not only gave him a far better Tianzi than ordinary people, but also gave him the favor that no one else will have, so that he got the best everything in the world: the grandfather who loved him the most, the father who valued him the most, the most capable mother, the highest status, the most competent queen......

Hongshi lowered his head, smiled and helped Concubine Qi sit on the circle chair next to the couch, and stuffed the pillow behind her back, so that she could sit more effortlessly.

"You just have to lie down comfortably, what do you want, just call your son, it's rare for your son to be able to enter the palace to see you, you can't use it hard, won't you waste a good opportunity?"

With a satisfied smile on her face, Concubine Qi smiled and nodded: "Okay, seeing that your body and bones are good, I will be relieved." ”

Looking at the ravine-horizontal face, and then thinking about the portrait of his Eniang when he was young in the book, Hongshi's heart was sour, time not only favored Hongyao, but also favored Hongyao's Eniang, that woman, it seems that since the age of forty, she has never aged again, compared to Eniang's current twilight appearance, that woman is still so beautiful that people dare not look at it directly.

"Eniang, my son has a granddaughter, I just got it yesterday, you can give him a nickname. ”

Concubine Qi was overjoyed: "It's born, I estimate that it should be these two days, it's a Gege, it's a Gege, it's okay, take care of it, your daughter has to be pampered, but you can't let her suffer a little grievance...... Nickname...... Is it good to call Ni Yang Qiqi. ”

Ni Yang Qiqi - Golden Silk!

Hongshi's eyes unintentionally swept to the Hui Hua placed on the side, and what he wanted to say was the Hui Orchid.

However, if the woman's name was in Hui, no one else could use that word anymore.

"Okay, it's called Niyang Qiqi. ”

Hongshi's expression did not change at all, he sat under the corridor and stayed with Concubine Qi for a long time before leaving the palace.

Before leaving the palace, Hongshi went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to thank him.

Hongyao sat behind the imperial case and waved his hand to let Hongshi, who was kneeling in the hall, get up: "Concubine Qi's body is fine." ”

Hongshi didn't dare to look up: "Thank you for the emperor's care, my aunt's body is healthy, and I used two dumplings for dinner tonight." ”

"Is it good. Hongyao looked up at the old man in the hall with his head lowered, a sharp light flashed in his bottomless eyes, and quickly returned to the appearance of Gujing Wubo: "Don't worry, even for the sake of the second brother, I won't let her be wronged, Concubine Qi gave your granddaughter a nickname? Niyang Qiqi is very good, very good." ”

Hongshi lowered his head, his voice trembled and thanked the emperor, and after listening to the emperor's words to take good care of him, Hongshi was finally allowed to leave the palace.

Stumbling out of the Forbidden City, standing outside the high palace walls, Hiroshi turned his head to look back at the deep forbidden palace, where lived his biological mother, he owed countless women, and there lived an enemy he would never defeat in his life, in order to see his biological mother once, in order to make his biological mother live comfortably, he knelt at the feet of the enemy, humbly begged for his mercy, and allowed him to see the woman who was locked behind the layers of palace walls.

Even though he had been trampled in the mud, his enemies told him that all grace came from his brother, a sick and weak brother whom he had never looked down upon.

Hongshi turned around, walked to the carriage of Beizi Mansion with one foot and one foot less, and was helped into the carriage by the personal eunuch who had been waiting there for a long time.

The carriage started slowly, Hongshi leaned on the carriage of the carriage, closed his eyes tiredly, and the eunuch who was waiting for him shrank silently in the corner of the carriage, without any movement.

A eunuch who has no sense of existence, Hongshi doesn't even feel his existence most of the time, but, in his heart, he has never ignored him, because this personal eunuch came to him after he was taken out, it was the eyeliner that he Ama put beside him, and now it is Hongyao's eyeliner, they have never concealed this, and he can only grit his teeth and endure it, let this eyeliner follow him inch by inch, and control all his activities, because this is the condition for those two high-ranking men to let him live, and make sure that he will not endanger any of the children of the Ru Jia clan again。

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart

Hongyao finished approving the folds, leaned on the dragon chair and closed his eyes.

"Where are E-Niang and Ama now?"

A secret guard walked out of the shadows, "Back to the emperor, the emperor and the queen mother should have arrived in Hangzhou now." ”

Hangzhou!

Slender West Lake, Su Causeway, Lingyin Temple...... In front of the emperor's eyes, every scene and thing he saw when he traveled to Hangzhou in the past appeared in front of him.

"E-niang, do they have a letter back?"

The dark guard's shoulders shrank subconsciously, but he could only stubbornly reply, "No." ”

Hongyao's face sank: "It must be Ama who is careful not to let Eniang write a letter, he is a handful of old people, and he is still competing with his son for favor, and he is not ashamed." ”

The Dark Guard shrank again.

Thinking that E-Niang had been abducted by Ama for almost three years, but he hadn't returned once, Hongyao was extremely unwilling, his eyes rolled, "Yonglian is fifteen years old, but he has never been out of the palace, this is not good, you send someone to send Lian to Hangzhou, tell E-Niang that her son can't be filial piety in front of her knees, so she sent her favorite grandson over to serve her instead of her son." ”

The Secret Guard has nowhere to hide, so he can only take orders.

Watching the dark guard disappear, Hongyao's eyes showed a smug look as he looked south.

West Lake, Hangzhou

Looking at the fifteen-year-old Yonglian, the fourth master was full of anger: "Serve his mother instead of him?"

Looking at Huang Mafa who was so angry that he slapped the table, Yonglian's handsome face showed a trace of helplessness, Ama and Marfa were fighting, but it was his junior who suffered, what kind of life did he have?

"You dare to come all the way to Hangzhou when you are alone at a young age, you are not small. The fourth master naturally saw the helplessness on Yonglian's face, but looking at this little grandson's face that was like ninety percent like Hongyao, he couldn't pity it: "You Ama is not dedicated to your children, but I will not bear to let you suffer among the people like him, don't be afraid, and go back first, and my will will be sent back to Beijing later." ”

Yong Lian rolled his eyes, he knew it would be like this.

Angry dantian, Yonglian turned his head and shouted outside the room: "Mama, Mama, come out quickly, my grandson has been bullied again." ”

"Who dares to bully my grandson. A neutral female voice came from outside the room, and the fourth master who was about to be angry at Yonglian in the room suddenly had a look on his face.

Turning his head and glaring at Yonglian fiercely, the fourth master straightened up, walked to the door, and supported the middle-aged woman who walked quickly and was dressed in a beautiful Han suit: "You slow down, you are all an old person, and you are as frizzy as a child, rest assured, no one bullies Yonglian, that child is coquettish." ”

Ru Hui glanced at the man who seemed to be holding on, but actually stopped her from throwing herself into her grandson's arms, and didn't care about his careful eyes, raised her feet and walked into the room: "Yonglian, good grandson, come over and let Mama take a look, I haven't seen her for three years, and I want to die Mama." ”

Seeing that the person who could support him finally appeared, Yonglian's face suddenly showed a look of grievance, "Mama, my grandson misses you, you have been gone for three years, and my grandson is about to think badly." ”

"Alas, alas!" Seeing her grandson's pitiful face, Ru Hui suddenly felt distressed, she stretched out her hand, and lovingly reached out and patted the head handed over by Yonglian: "Okay, Mama misses you too, okay, since your Ama sent you out of the palace, don't rush back, and follow Mama, let's take a look at this magnificent river and mountain...... Come, Mama just learned a dish, let's go, let's eat something delicious. ”

looked at his wife who had completely forgotten him, and just dragged his grandson away, and the fourth master, who stayed in place, had a face so black that he could almost wring out the ink.

"Hongyao, stinky boy, you wait. ”

Send Yonglian, who looks most like him, to Ah Hui's side, what idea that stinky boy wants, how can the fourth master not know.

It's just that he stopped Ah Hui from writing a letter, so he dared to make a bad deal with him, that stinky boy, he really hadn't smoked for too long, and his skin was itchy.

"Someone, load the thin horse sent by the prefect a few days ago, send it back to the Forbidden City, and tell Hongyao that it is the 'weed' he asked me to collect. ”

Hmph, just wait, Wu Linzhu in the palace must not have a good face to show that son of a crime.
