CHAPTER XLVI

Wu Shulai observed Qianlong's face anxiously, and secretly wondered that his master had been gloomy since he came back from the Chengqian Palace, and he looked unhappy. However, if the master's body has been holding back the fire and has not been properly channeled, it is really harmful to the master's dragon body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wu Shulai pondered for a moment, and said cautiously: "If the emperor thinks that Liu Guiren is not well served, he can also turn over the green head card again...... Or is it that the slave summoned two young and beautiful palace maids to come in and serve the emperor? ”

Qianlong's brows tightened even tighter, and somehow remembered the duck shop he had seen more than a hundred years later, and flashed in his mind the appearance of those rich and handsome Mrs. Kuo and the young and handsome cowherds laughing wantonly, and even more smacked a bulge, although he knew that the harem concubines were not those lewd and indulgent Mrs. Kuo, and he was not a little white face who was raised, but Qianlong was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that those women with too gorgeous looks must be put on the brand when the draft was held in the future.

Qianlong glanced at Wu Shulai coldly, and said lightly: "No need, I don't need someone to sleep tonight." ”

Wu Shulai was swept away by Qianlong's cold gaze, his body shook suddenly, and he hurriedly bowed his waist, and promised again and again, but he didn't dare to say more than half a sentence, and carefully waited for Qianlong to bathe and change clothes, and then withdrew from Xinuan Pavilion according to Qianlong's instructions.

According to the order, Duyun and Liuli are the palace maids who kept vigil for Qianlong tonight. Wu Shulai knew that Qianlong was not in a good mood tonight, so he specially instructed the two palace maids to be vigilant when they were keeping vigil outside. Dusk Cloud and Liuli kept watch anxiously for most of the night, but fortunately, although Qianlong couldn't sleep at night, he didn't lose his temper again, and only asked for tea twice at night, and the rest was safe.

In the early morning of the next day, Qianlong still went to the court to listen to the government as before, but he didn't know that the harem had already made waves because of yesterday's events.

Queen Fucha Ningxiu secretly was also selecting suitable women to serve Qianlong, but she chose coldly for a few months, and she never chose a woman who could compete with her concubine Xiao Yan in appearance and figure, and she was anxious, but she suddenly heard that the concubine Gao Fang actually made fox kung fu, not only stroked the piano in the imperial garden, hooked Qianlong to Chengqian Palace, but also recommended Liu Guiren, who entered the palace with Xiao Yan, to Qianlong to sleep.

Ning Xiu simply hated Gao Fang, who was against her, and even hated Liu Rongjia, who was instructed by Gao Fang. Therefore, when Ning Xiu learned that Qianlong did not stay in Chengqian Palace after Liu Guiren went to bed, but went back to the Heart Cultivation Palace to sleep, and did not even give Liu Guiren the opportunity to conceive a dragon fetus, her heart was slightly more comfortable.

Under the impetus of Ning Xiu, Liu Guiren's unfavorable sleep last night and his disgust by Qianlong soon spread throughout the six palaces of the east and west. Not only did the noble Liu Rongjia become the laughing stock in the harem, but even the noble concubine Gao Fang couldn't raise her head.

When Wan Guiren and a group of low-ranking promisers and often were together, they sneered and ridiculed Liu Guiren. Some high-ranking concubines such as the noble concubine Wulanala Jingxian and the pure concubine Su Jia Ronghui did not laugh at Liu Guiren because of her unfavorable sleep last night, but they did not kindly say anything for Liu Guiren in front of everyone. Qing nobleman Lu Jinxin and Hai nobleman Corriet Zhilan did not laugh at Liu Guiren with others this time, but felt that Liu Guiren was a little pitiful in their hearts.

As the queen, Ning Xiu naturally didn't have the heart to ridicule Liu Guiren with the low-ranking concubines, so she only punished Liu Guiren for copying "The Female Ring" and "The Female Rules", and at the same time continued to select suitable concubines to serve Qianlong, and secretly selected young and beautiful palace maids, ready to recommend them to Qianlong at the right time, and share the favor with the concubine Xiao Yan, so as not to raise another favored concubine like Gao Fang back then, and add to his blockage.

All the concubines and ladies in the palace thought that the concubine Xiao Yan would be annoyed with the noble concubine Gao Fang and the noble Liu Rongjia who competed with her when she was confined and could not sleep for the emperor, but she didn't expect Xiao Yan to hear about it, she just laughed at it, and didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.

Qianlong was originally a little angry with Xiao Yan, thinking of colding Xiao Yan for a few days, so that the little girl could have a long memory. But he didn't expect that just two days later, he himself was already a little unbearable, and he only felt that he missed Xiao Yan's mother and son very much, and even thought of scratching his heart and liver.

Although Qianlong was a little puzzled why he was so concerned about Xiao Yan's mother and son, he also decided not to torture himself anymore, and after dealing with government affairs that day, he rushed to Chuxiu Palace and Hall to visit Xiao Yan's mother and son.

And although Xiao Yan is not a master of love, she is also a smart person. Since Xiao Yan was aware of some of Qianlong's thoughts last time, she had secretly changed some of her practices. In front of Qianlong, although she never spoke ill of Liu Guiren, she also showed some of her own careful thoughts, thus showing her concern for Qianlong.

For example, whenever Qianlong came to Chuxiu Palace to visit her and the children, Xiao Yan would always throw herself into Qianlong's arms intimately when there was no one else, rubbing Qianlong's chest like a naughty kitten, to express her joy for Qianlong to visit her in Chuxiu Palace, especially when she never smelled Qianlong's body stained with the fragrance of other women's fat powder, Xiao Yan would bloom a bright smile to Qianlong, and sometimes even took the initiative to kiss Qianlong's cheek, muttering "The emperor treats his concubine so well" Such words of gratitude, frank and cute appearance won Qianlong's favor, but he quickly forgot the unhappiness of the previous days and continued to spoil Xiao Yan's mother and son.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the full moon of Yongqi and Yongying, the two little elder brothers. Out of love for the two little elder brothers, Qianlong held the full moon banquet of the two little elder brothers very grandly, and even set up the full moon banquet of the two little elder brothers in the Qianqing Palace.

This is a great honor for the fifth and sixth elder brothers who have just completed the moon. Except for the Duanhui prince produced by the Queen Fucha clan back then, Qianlong's other brothers did not have such grace.

Qianlong was dressed in bright yellow imperial clothes, teasing Yongqi in his arms, and watched with a smile as Xiao Yan was dressed up under the service of Qiulan and Qiuyue, preparing to participate in the full moon banquet.

Xiao Yan looked at the light blue and fragrant flag suits in the hands of Qiu Lan and Qiu Yue, and was about to choose her favorite light blue flag suits, but she heard Qianlong's sudden suggestion: "I look better at this fragrant flag suit, your complexion is fair, and it looks good in this color." ”

Xiao Yan doesn't care much about dressing, she prefers jeans, white shirts and crisp and pretty ponytails to complicated flag outfits and hair accessories. Therefore, seeing that Qianlong liked the fragrant flag outfit even more, Xiao Yan was also happy to obey Qianlong's wishes, and wore this fragrant laurel moire flag outfit on her body, combed a pretty little two heads on her head, and only used the purple jade hosta and goose yellow velvet flower of the color and water head as decoration, and the two Haowan, who were as white as jade, each brought a purple purple jade bracelet.

After Xiao Yan gave birth, her breasts were already plump a lot, and because she personally breastfed the two little brothers, the upper circumference was much larger than before, but her waist and limbs were still very slender.

Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded with satisfaction, looked at Xiao Yan's delicate and beautiful hibiscus face, and then looked at the two little brothers Yongqi and Yongying in his arms and in the nurse's arms, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "Yan'er is really naturally beautiful, and it is the first time I have seen a woman who has recovered so well after giving birth." If you don't know, you will be mistaken for a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet in her cardamom years, and where can you guess that you are already the mother of the two little brothers! ”

Xiao Yanwan smiled and said with some embarrassment: "The emperor praised it falsely." If the emperor praises the concubine like this again, the concubine will be fluttering! When the time comes, the emperor should blame the concubine for not knowing how to be modest and being proud and complacent! ”

Qianlong laughed, hugged Yongqi with his right hand, hugged Xiao Yan's slender waist with his left hand, and said nonchalantly: "What I said is true, Yan'er doesn't have to be humble." Besides, I just like your smug little look, and it's good that you're like this. ”

Xiao Yan saw that Qianlong actually held Yongqi, who had just completed the moon, in his arms with one hand, for fear that Qianlong would accidentally fall Yongqi or make Yongqi uncomfortable, so he hurriedly took Yongqi from Qianlong's arms and held him in his arms.

Xiao Yongqi found that he was being held in his arms, and immediately showed a happy smile, and at the same time rubbed Xiao Yan's bulging chest with his little head with great interest.

Qianlong shook his head and smiled: "This stinky boy, I always think about this thing when I come to your arms all day long, it's really unproductive." Didn't you just feed once? Why is it still like this! ”

Although Qianlong said this, he had a doting smile on his face, and looked at Xiao Yan's mother and son with a smile.

Xiao Yan, who was originally a little embarrassed, also laughed out loud when she heard Qianlong's words, "How old is Yongqi now, children are like this!" ”

Xiao Yan hugged Yongqi to the bedside, and instructed the nurse to bring Yongying over, and personally changed into two identical red clothes for the two babies, wrapped them in the same color brocade quilt, and then handed Yongqi and Yongying to the two nurses respectively, and went to the Qianqing Palace with Qianlong for a banquet.

In the palace, who dares to make Qianlong wait? Therefore, long before Qianlong and Xiao Yan arrived, the harem concubines, the relatives of the clan and the important ministers of the court had all been present.

Queen Fucha Ningxiu sat beside the Queen Mother affectionately, and sighed as if unintentionally: "The emperor really likes concubines, even the full moon of the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother, even if he exceeds the system, he has to do it so decently." I heard that the emperor rushed to Chuxiu Palace to visit the concubine and the two little brothers in the morning. It seems that the emperor wants to accompany the concubine and the two little brothers to the banquet. ”

The Queen Mother didn't know Fucha's thoughts, but she didn't break it, but just smiled lightly: "Xiao's girl is indeed a painful person, but she is born like that, and her belly is also competitive, and she soon gave birth to two little brothers for the emperor, Yongqi and Yongying, and two healthy and lively little brothers were added to the palace at once, which is also a happy event, no wonder the emperor will prefer their mother and son." ”

Fucha was unwilling in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "What the emperor said is true." The concubine is also very fond of the fifth and sixth elder brothers. It's a pity that the concubine was born in the Han military banner and her status is a little low. If the biological mothers of the fifth and sixth elder brothers were concubines with Manchurian surnames, their future honors and achievements would definitely be far more prosperous than today. ”

The Queen Mother understood that Fucha deliberately gave Xiao Shi eye medicine in front of her, and wanted to instigate her to dislike Xiao and use her hand to make Xiao Shi stumble, and she immediately disliked it.

The Queen Mother secretly thought that this queen looked pretty good on weekdays, but now she was so childish, not only jealous of a favored concubine from the Han Army Banner, but even tried in vain to provoke her to deal with the Xiao family. Isn't this a clear desire to separate her from Hongli's mother and son?

The Queen Mother sneered in her heart, but a loving smile appeared on her face, and she comforted kindly: "The queen is now in the spring and autumn season, she should still ask the imperial doctor to prescribe more medicinal food, take care of her body, and add a concubine to the emperor." The mourning family is still waiting to hug their grandchildren! ”

Fucha Ningxiu was very clear about the situation of her body, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and she was also a little dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, but her face didn't show it at all, and she still smiled lightly: "The concubine is grateful to the emperor for her thoughts, and the concubine is careful to follow the emperor's decree." ”

At this time, the sound of the little eunuch reciting came from outside the hall, and it turned out that Qianlong arrived with his concubine Xiao and the mother and son of the fifth and sixth elder brothers.

In addition to the Empress Dowager Niu Hulu, everyone present hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, saluted Qianlong, and shouted long live.

Because Xiao Yan's position is not high, even though she is the biological mother of Yongqi and Yongying, she can still only sit in a seat far away from Qianlong. After Qianlong sat down on the upper seat, he ordered the banquet to be opened, and at the same time ordered the nurse to carry Yongqi and Yongying to the queen mother, and kept praising him: "Although the concubine is young, she is a child who can raise children." Yongqi and Yongying were raised very well by the concubines, but they grew up a lot more than when they were born! ”

The Queen Mother is old, and now is the time to love the juniors, and when she sees that the fifth elder brother Yongqi is now ninety percent similar to Qianlong's appearance when he was a child, he likes it even more in his heart, and he is reluctant to leave Yongqi in his arms, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that he likes it very much.

"Yongqi really has a good appearance, this little appearance is almost exactly the same as when the emperor was full moon!"

When Qianlong heard what the Queen Mother said, he was even more happy, and said with a smile: "I used to be curious about what I looked like when I was a child, but I didn't expect to see Yongqi now, it is like seeing me when I was a child, and it is really very interesting." This is also the wonder of blood inheritance and life continuation. ”

When all the concubines and concubines heard what the queen mother and the emperor said, they were all a little uncomfortable. Regardless of the concubines who have never given birth to them, they secretly envy the good luck of the concubines, even the queens and pure concubines who have given birth to princes and princesses, in addition to being jealous of the blessings of Xiao Yan's mother and son, they can't help but feel sorry for their children. Especially the noble concubine Gao, who hated Xiao Yan even more, thinking that Xiao Yan had robbed the emperor of her favor and the son who originally belonged to her.

Qianlong held the sixth elder brother Yongying in his arms, and teased Yongqi and Yongying with the queen mother, the mother and son talked and laughed, like a mother and son filial piety, which made everyone feel emotional, all of them said that the emperor's maid mother was filial, and he was a rare emperor of benevolence, filial piety and virtue.

Qianlong looked at the white and lovely little face of Yongying in his arms, and involuntarily remembered Xiao Yan, whose eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Yongying, as if unintentionally, raised his head, swept his sharp gaze, and looked for the extremely familiar shadow among the concubines, but saw Xiao Yan looking up in his direction, with a happy smile and a faint worry on his face.

The two looked at each other, both stunned, but they all looked at each other and smiled, and then they were both stunned, and at the same time, a strange feeling rose in their hearts that they had never felt before.

Although Xiao Yan always knew that Qianlong's appearance was good, she never felt any excitement in her heart because of Qianlong's appearance. However, just now, she watched Qianlong lovingly hold Yongying in his arms, petting Yongying's white and tender little face, but Xiao Yan suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart, she actually felt that Qianlong's face was more handsome and handsome than any celebrity male model she had seen before.

And the feeling in Qianlong's heart was even more prevalent than Xiao Yan, he only felt that the little woman's smile was so beautiful and dazzling, as if it had bloomed in an instant, and it had been deeply imprinted in his heart when he had never noticed it, and it would be difficult to erase it from now on. At that moment, two famous words suddenly appeared in Qianlong's mind: The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was in the lamplight.

The babbling voice of Yongying in his arms recalled Qianlong's mind, and then Qianlong suddenly realized that Xiao Yan's seat was so far away from him, so he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly wondered how to quickly promote the woman he loved, so that she could be closer to him.

Queen Fucha Ningxiu looked at Qianlong and Xiao Yan with her eyebrows, she was really depressed in her heart, and when she was about to speak, she saw that the concubine Gao Fang was looking at Xiao Yan with jealousy, and she was happy in her heart, and she was happy to watch from the wall, secretly looking forward to giving Xiao Yan a faceless face through Gao Fang's hand.

Gao Fang really didn't disappoint Ning Xiu, she dragged her footsteps, which were still a little uneasy, got up and walked to Qianlong, and asked with a smile on her face: "The sixth elder brother is really loved, the concubine likes the sixth elder brother very much, the emperor, let the concubine hug the sixth elder brother!" ”

Xiao Yandai frowned slightly, unconsciously tightened the Jinpa in her hand, and secretly thought in her heart that if Qianlong dared to let this woman who had intended to murder Yongqi and Yongying, the two little brothers, hug her little Yongying, she would definitely make Qianlong look good!

Qianlong subconsciously looked at Xiao Yan, and naturally saw Xiao Yan's worried appearance in his eyes, and felt interesting in his heart, but also showed a soothing smile to Xiao Yan, and then turned his head to Gao Fang and said: "Concubine Gao accidentally sprained her ankle in the imperial garden some time ago, and now her walking is still a little affected, how can you hug a good little brother?" Hurry back to your seat and sit down. If you accidentally injure your ankle again, it will be difficult to heal. ”

The Queen Mother has always disliked the Gao family, whose posture and bearing are somewhat similar to those of the Imperial Concubine of Dunsu, and she also said: "What the emperor said is very true. My legs and feet have not been raised, so I want to hug my little brother? Moreover, you have never given birth to a little brother yourself, so you naturally don't know the methods and skills of holding a child. If you accidentally fall and injure the sixth elder brother, will you pay for it? ”

Gao Fang was so angry that she trembled, but she didn't dare to contradict Qianlong and the Queen Mother, so she could only confess again and again, tears had fallen on her face, and she was crying so much that she couldn't be pitied.

When the Queen Mother saw Gao Fang crying at the full moon banquet of the fifth and sixth elder brothers, she felt very unlucky in her heart. But after all, he remembered that Gao was Qianlong's favorite concubine, and never reprimanded Gao Fang again, but he made a note of Gao Fang in his heart.

Qianlong turned a blind eye to Gao Fang's tears and grievances, and only ordered Wu Shulai to call the two little elder brothers' nurses to the front, and ordered the nurse to hold the two little elder brothers down to rest on the grounds that the fifth elder brother and the sixth elder brother were already a little tired and needed to rest.
