On that day, when Yao'er found out that the eunuch was wrong, she pointed out that she pointed out, but unexpectedly, the eunuch in the blue cloth shirt was a thief, and ran up by himself, was caught by the palace guards, and his medicine was also turned out.

Seeing that this matter was obviously going to be revealed, and it was not easy to break off the heir, Concubine Tong Jia sent someone to find the emperor, and the first to bear the brunt was Concubine Hui.

But just when everyone thought it was her, but the result was unexpected, it was found out that it was just an unknown small promise, no one thought of it, but the little promise confessed, and committed suicide in fear of sin, and there was indeed a palace maid around this little promise in the entry and exit records, and the drug spilled on the ground was found in the dormitory.

Although this matter has ended, but I always feel that something is wrong, frowning slightly, I am very confused, and helpless, the breeze blows a little cold, looking at the land full of fallen leaves, the feeling of gloom wells up in my heart, if this promise is an innocent person, hey.

"Sister Yao'er, I don't think it's cold, I stood here in a daze for a while," he said, and gently tied the cloak to Yao'er's body.

"It's so delicate, it's just a moment of emotion that the people in the palace, those who go will come."

Xia Xi came in with a cup of hot tea and heard the words, and seemed to sigh and said: "It's just like this every year in this palace, there will always be people leaving, and there will still be people coming in on the day of the election, but it's just a common thing, how can the master sigh a little today."

"It's not the promise to murder the fourth elder brother, it seems that Qing agreed, yes, it's her, Sister Yao'er is unhappy when she thinks of her" Ruoshui said loudly.

"Master, don't you have confusion in your heart," Xia Xi said.

Yao'er praised Xia Xi with a glance: "I always feel that something is wrong in my heart, don't you feel that a qiē is too smooth."

Ruoshui shook his head and said: "I know this, there is often only one truth, and that is De Concubine."

"Shen Yan" Xia Xi looked outside, closed the window, and pulled into the inner room, seeing Ruoshui suddenly realized, stuck out her tongue, Yao'er chuckled and nodded her head with her hand: "You, the fourth elder brother is her biological son, tiger poison is not a child, let alone a person, I really don't know what you think about this little brain."

"That's not the case, I have a basis for saying that."

"Basis, 123 romance in the Qing palace novels, you believe this" Yao'er shook her head helplessly.

Ruoshui hurriedly said: "If that is not credible, but in history, most of the concubines of the fourth elder brother are of the Han nationality, and many of them are given by concubines, and most of the concubines in the backyard of the fourteenth elder brother are Manchu surnames, this is a fact."

Yao'er listened thoughtfully: "Xia Xi, have you ever found that traitor." If this is the case, this concubine must pay attention.

Xia Xi listened to the doubts, and when he found it, he came back to his senses and said: "I have sent Shiyu and Wu Qi's father-in-law and Shihua to keep an eye on them, but it is not easy to find out about this matter just after."

"If you see something suspicious, send more people to stare at it on weekdays, don't startle the snake, maybe this person is still useful, and let our people stare at Concubine De more on weekdays, and always feel that she is not simple", is it not simple, in the end, Concubine Tong Jia knew that her body was not good and risked herself, so she was exposed, but she was so cunning.

Xia Xi nodded yes, and said again: "Next year is the year of the draft, these days the little masters of the harem have their own powers, the little lord these days for the fourth elder brother, the little master should also care about the emperor, yesterday Mr. Li also said that the emperor has missed the little master's cooking skills very much in the past two days."

After speaking, she looked at Yao'er, Yao'er knew what she meant, and it was not time for the draft after the New Year, and she looked at Ruoshui these days when she got along more and more as a relative, although she was reluctant to be released from the palace, it was not good to delay, so she said: "Ruoshui will spend the New Year in the palace this year, and I can feel the festive atmosphere in the palace."

Ruoshui was overjoyed and said: "It's exactly what I want, I haven't seen what the New Year is like in the palace."

Seeing her so happy, I couldn't bear to break her illusions: "Lively is lively, but there are many etiquettes for fear that you will be tired, you are so happy but the gap will be big, besides, my sixth uncle wants to complain about my niece, keep you for a long time" and then said softly: "If the water is what kind of thought, also tell me, if it is not bad for this draft, the emperor thinks that he will marry the sixth uncle, if you are willing in your heart, this draft will let you go together."

Ruoshui blushed, was silent, and said after a while: "I don't know what to think, I only treat him like a big brother, and suddenly I heard that my eldest brother didn't think about me, but he gave up without a clue for a while."

Seeing her twisted like this, it doesn't seem like she is completely ruthless to the sixth uncle, and she said like this: "Before the draft, you have to go back to Hesheri Mansion, enter the palace from Hesheri Mansion or something, in short, there will be a lot of time, and when you think about it, feelings are often discovered in an instant."

When Ruoshui heard this, his mind suddenly showed the situation when Lin Ping died, a little bitterness in his heart, and a trace of affection spread, he did regret it after Lin Ping's death, if he came back, he would definitely cherish him, but he couldn't go back.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In winter, when Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, after the 23rd day of the lunar month, the Internal Affairs Office informed the palace chiefs to seal and prepare for the New Year.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of this day, everyone gathered in front of the Cangzhen Gate of the Forbidden City. I saw that the chief eunuch Li Dequan also put on a python robe and mended gown, and greeted him in front of Cangzhen's door. All the provinces are all one-color red embroidered clothes and pink shirts. Gege showed off all the flowers, and Li Dequan led them to Ningshou Palace. Because the Empress Dowager was not in good health, after the Empress Dowager was promoted to the court, the first group was met by Gege. Zhong Gege rushed in, saluted the Queen Mother, and served the Queen Mother left and right. After the Queen Mother said some auspicious words to them, she asked about their age and knowledge, and then withdrew. The second group was met by the first Fujin and the women of each prefecture, and the concubines and the palace errand were responsible for entertaining.

On this day, the warblers and Yanyan in the palace were all present, all kinds of postures, the emperor was very blessed, but most of them were low, so I hadn't seen them much.

But there is such a custom, considering the needlework of each Gege, at this time you Gege live in the courtyard all the year round, and often embroider something when there is nothing to do, and the craftsmanship is needless to say, but there are also one or two who will not be accompanied by a maid to help. Of course, two days later, the Queen Mother was in front of the case, and she walked around like a flower. Assessed by the queen and concubines, rewards are given according to rank, and the rewards are good for relatives when they are famous.

During the rest of the people, there are stalls, there are those who push pai gow, there are those who promote the official map, there are those who throw the eight immortals to celebrate their birthdays, there are those who throw the hunting, it is very lively, the gate of the palace does not matter today, if there is a report that can not stand it, you can go back to the house.

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother and the concubines in the palace got up earlier than usual and came to the palace. Gege was already dressed before dawn. The color of everyone's clothes is different from usual, the concubines, the eldest princess and Fujin all wear official uniforms, wear emerald steel, wear shirts, red and green gowns, jewel buttons, and pendants. Gege is still in big red clothes, but everyone wears red velvet wisps made of the word Fushou on their heads. On each of the two heads, large red tassels are inserted and hung down to the shoulders. The Queen Mother came out of the bedroom, and after being promoted, Queen Longyu led everyone to greet the Queen Mother. After the ceremony, the queen mother ordered the queen to lead the Fujin people to make flowers in front of the Buddha; The eldest princess led Gege and others to arrange the offerings in front of the Buddha, and they were not busy until lunch.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the emperor led the close branch of the clan, the princes of Manchu and Mongolia and the second grade of the Manchu and Han dynasties, to Ningshou Palace to give the queen mother a farewell ceremony. The Gege on the side rarely saw foreign men, and they blushed with shame, and this kind of etiquette was an old Manchurian custom. At this time, the emperor and the princes danced to the song in front of the queen mother. After the dance, the emperor was in front, and the kings and ministers were behind, and they bowed three times to the queen mother. The queen mother each rewarded a pair of purses, and then the emperor and the ministers returned to the Qianqing Palace.

After that, the activities were to sing hymns, and the ministers set up a banquet to eat dumplings, and they did not return to their homes until dawn. Everyone is tired, almost to sleep, Ruoshui is also shouting tired, and the prince and princess can't hold back to fall asleep in the morning, everyone is busy to make up for sleep, not for anything else just because there is a highlight tomorrow "Bingxi".
