Hongtian was overjoyed, and asked with great expectations: "Eniang, can Erchen go with the fourth brother to build a snowman?" ”

Yu Concubine looked at the heavy snow that was blowing one after another, and did not immediately agree, but turned her gaze to Ling Ruo, she could be the lord of Hongyang but not the lord of Hongli.

Ling Ruo glanced at Hongli, who was also full of anticipation, and said, "Go ahead, don't play for too long, and take care of Hongday, don't let him fall." ”

"Erchen knows the way." Hongli happily agreed, pulled Hongtian and ran to the courtyard, Shui Xiu and the palace maid who came with Yu Concubine hurriedly followed, holding an umbrella to block the snowflakes on the heads of the two elder brothers.

Hongli and Hongli happily squatted on the ground to build snowmen, during which the two threw snow balls at each other from time to time, and crisp and cheerful laughter resounded in this world. These two brothers of the same age are so close for the first time, but I don't know if there is similar blood flowing in their bodies, so they don't feel the slightest sense of alienation.

"My sister will teach Hongyang very well." Looking at the two brothers who were playing in the snow, Ling Ruo suddenly said such a sentence.

Concubine Yu lowered her head and stroked the shiny and soft hair on her cuffs, and said softly: "The concubine has taught Hongtian a lot, but the concubine herself can't do it." Seeing Ling Ruo looking at her curiously, she said with a slightly red face: "Hongli was beaten by the third elder brother for Hongday, but the concubine didn't have the courage to stand up and plead with Concubine Nian at that time. ”

"This is human nature, not to mention that in this palace, what is most needed is to protect oneself, and my sister doesn't need to care." You can't ask others to do the same you treat others, and there is never absolute fairness in this world. What's more, it is already commendable that Concubine Yu can say this sentence in front of her.

Concubine Yu was not relieved by this sentence, but felt even more guilty, "Niangniang, in your opinion, is the concubine very cowardly?" ”

"Why do you ask that?" Ling Ruo asked, the snow drifted in from the eaves, blowing on his face, with a cold chill.

"The concubines never dared to fight with others, nor did they dare to ask for it, they just wanted to live peacefully with Hongday. In the past ten years, the concubine has always thought that she was right, until that day in the study, Hongyang asked the concubine, and the concubine was speechless. ”

"Children are not sensible, let alone sisters." Ling Ruo stroked the snow on his face and said lightly: "Everyone has their own way of survival, my sister can raise Hongyang safely, it is enough to prove that you are not wrong, Hongyang is young and can't understand your hard work, and when he grows up, he will naturally understand." What's more......" she turned her head and showed a smile as bright as the rising sun, "that day, my sister always interceded for Hongli, and this kindness will be remembered by this palace." "She has heard Hongli say everything in person, and she knows what is right and which is wrong.

Niangniang said this, which made the concubine more and more embarrassed. When it comes to kindness, the concubines should remember the kindness between the mother and the fourth elder brother. Concubine Yu said sincerely.

Ling Ruo smiled and turned his gaze back to Hongli and the two, they had already built up the body of a snowman, and now the two brothers were piling up their heads together, "In the future, I have to take Hongli over for a walk, this palace has not seen Hongli so happy for a long time." ”

"The concubine knows the way." Yu Concubine showed the same smile on her face, looking at Hongsun in the snow, her eyes were full of loving smiles. All along, she tried to protect Hongyang from being hurt at all, but gradually, as Hongyang grew up, she began to be powerless. This incident sounded the alarm for her, no matter how unwilling she was, she had already offended Nian, and if she wanted to live a peaceful life in the future, I was afraid that it would have become a luxury. She didn't care too much about herself, she was just worried that Hongtian would be hurt.

Patience may be able to exchange for a moment of peace, but it will not come for a lifetime. Therefore, she couldn't wait to find another layer of protection for Hongday, and in the palace, the only suitable person was Concubine Xi, and the scene of Hongli protecting Hongday in the study also impressed her. Concubine Xi said that she taught Hongli well, but in fact, the person who was really taught well was Hongli.

With this thought, I believe that Concubine Xi's intelligence must have seen through her thoughts, but she did not object, and asked her to bring more Hongday over, that is to say, Concubine Xi acquiesced.

"Eniang, is it good to see the snowman I built with my fifth brother?" Hongli ran in and asked Ling Ruo with a smile on his face, only to see that a snowman had already taken shape, fat and round, standing in the courtyard honest and cute, Hongli didn't know where to find two marbles, which were placed on the snowman's head as eyes, and the nose was a red pepper. The most ridiculous thing is that there is also a flower on the snowman's head, which looks a little funny.

Ling Ruo put Hongli's hands red from the cold and praised: "It's good-looking, but you told Eniang, which one put the flower on the snowman's head?" ”

Before Hongli could speak, Hongday, who was beside Concubine Yu, had already giggled, "I chased, and the fourth brother didn't let me at first." ”

"It shouldn't have been cha in the first place, it's good to be a snowman, and you're a nondescript person with this flower, when have you ever seen someone like this." Hongli glared at Hongdaydao, who made a grimace and shouted: "It's because there is no one, as long as you see such a snowman in the future, others will know that the road is built by me and the fourth brother." ”

Hongli didn't bother to fight with him anymore, so he let him mess around, anyway, when he was building a snowman, he had a lot of fun.

After Yu Concubine wiped the snow on Hongday's hands, she smiled at Hongli and said, "Fourth elder brother, Hongday's homework is not very good, and there are often many things that he doesn't understand, can you teach him more in the future?" ”

Hongli also liked this only brother very much, and was about to agree, but he was afraid that Ling Ruo would object, so he swallowed the words on his lips and looked at Ling Ruo, Ling Ruo smiled and said: "E-Niang ordered the small kitchen to make snacks in the morning, now it should be fine, you take Hongyang to have a look, if it is good, take a dish to the study, if Hongyang has anything you don't understand, you can teach him well, don't be lazy." ”

"Yes." Hongli happily agreed, and pulled Hongli to the small kitchen, and after they left, Ling Ruo said to Yu Concubine: "If there is nothing to do in the palace, sister, let's have lunch here before leaving." ”

"Thank you, mother." Concubine Yu agreed softly that if she had changed before, she would never stay if she had always kept a distance from the harem concubines, but now it is different from the past, she has decided to find a better backer for Hongday, and naturally she will not lose Concubine Xi's good intentions.

In this way, she stayed until the afternoon, and Concubine Yu left with Hongday, looking at the figure of a big and a small distance, Ling Ruozhu's lips were slightly hooked, and she was about to turn around and go back to the house, but when she saw Wen Ruyan coming in, she hurriedly greeted her and smiled: "With such a big snow, why did my sister come over?" ”
