Nala said with a smile: "You and my mother and son don't say such things to each other, this palace is hungry, you can accompany this palace to dinner." ”

"The retainers obeyed." As he spoke, Hongshi personally helped the Nala clan to go to the side hall for dinner, where there was already a table full of dishes, Sun Mo put the gold-inlaid chopsticks on the table, and said with a smile: "Second elder brother, as soon as the master knows that you want to go over, he immediately asked the small kitchen to make a few dishes that you usually like to eat." ”

Hongshi said with emotion: "Let the emperor bother, in fact, everything the retainer eats is the same." ”

Nala said disapprerovingly: "It's rare for you to enter the palace for a meal, how can you be casual, and it's not a difficult thing to say." Okay, let's take a seat, otherwise the dishes will be cold. ”

"Yes." Hongshi agreed and helped Nala sit down, and then put a bowl of yam soup in front of him, "Huang Eniang will drink a bowl of soup first." ”

"You sit down quickly, these things will be done by the palace people." After pulling Hongshi to sit down beside him, Nala asked a few words about Lanling's situation, and when she learned that she was still locked in the small courtyard as before, she sighed softly, but didn't say anything.

Hongshi saw that his expression was uncertain, and changed the topic and said: "Huang Eniang, the two concubines in the Erchen Mansion are pregnant, and they will be able to give birth after the New Year." ”

Nala Clan's spirits perked up when he heard this, "That's good, you have been married for two years, but you have never had children, this palace doesn't know how to remember much, and now you can finally rest assured." If you are born, remember to give good news to the palace and your emperor Amma. ”

Hongshi's spirit was slightly gloomy, and he hung his head silently, and the Nala clan knew what was going on, but he said puzzledly: "Why don't you speak?" ”

Hongshi put aside his chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Huang Ama has always been dissatisfied with his sons, so it's okay to repay it." ”

Nala's eyes flashed, and he comforted him: "What are you talking about, you are the eldest son, your emperor Ama has always valued you, and he handed over the Ministry of Rites to you, how can he be dissatisfied with you, don't think nonsense." ”

Hongshi said a little excitedly: "It's not that Erchen is thinking about it, but it's true, Erchen encountered some things he didn't understand in the Ministry of Rites before, and he happened to meet Uncle Eight, so he asked him for advice, Uncle Ba was very patient with Erchen, and after helping Erchen answer, he also told Erchen that if there is anything, just ask him." Later, Erchen went a few more times, but somehow he was told by Huang Ama Zhilu, and he called Erchen over to reprimand him, saying that the eighth uncle was a sinister villain, and Erchen should not be close to him; Erchen felt that Huang Amma's view of treating the eighth uncle was too biased, so he said a word, who knew that Lu Dao attracted a lot of scolding from Huang Ama and said that if Erchen was like this again, he would let Erchen stop taking care of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Nala listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he stroked his shoulder and said, "You should know that when the first emperor of Lu Dao passed away and passed on the throne, Prince Lian had an opinion with your emperor Amado, and then something happened, which made the misunderstanding between the two of them deeper. ”

Hongli said: "Erchen naturally knows about this matter, but one yard is one yard, and when Erchen chatted with the eighth uncle, he also said several times that he regretted what he had done before. Since the eighth uncle has already repented, Huang Ama should no longer hold on to it, and those who are kings should be lenient to the world. But what about Huang Ama, he didn't ask anything, just a reprimand, how do you convince your sons. Huang Ama also said that the sons and daughters learned from the eighth uncle, but in fact, the eighth uncle's leniency and benevolence and righteousness are indeed very admirable, so what is wrong with the sons and daughters learning from him? Do you have to be as strict and ruthless as Emperor Amma?!"

Hearing his last words, Nala changed color, and the chopsticks in his hand were released heavily: "Bold, who taught you to say this about your own emperor Ama?" ”

Hongshi's eyelids jumped, but he still said stubbornly: "Erchen just told the truth, and he didn't think there was anything wrong; The court and the central government have a lot of words about Huang Ama's style, especially what Huang Ama is doing now to return to the public and spread the money into the mu, which makes people panic, and that Tian Wenjing, the son heard that he relied on the trust of Huang Ama, ran rampant and domineering, no one sold face, and he could do what he wanted. ”

Listening to Hongshi's bold and reckless words, Nala's face became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly: "You are young and inexperienced, and you don't know a lot about the affairs of the court, and you are easily misled by people's words, which the emperor does not blame you, but there is one thing you have to remember that everything your emperor Ama does is for the good of the Qing Dynasty, and no matter what he does, he has his own reasons; And what you have to do as a son of man is to listen to the words of your Emperor Amma, not to oppose him. ”

Hearing this, Hongshi couldn't help but say: "So, the emperor also thinks I'm wrong?" Without waiting for Nala to speak, he said again: "Yes, Erchen is young, but Erchen is not blind, and everything can be seen clearly, if Emperor Ama really did the right thing, how could there be so many complaints in the court, even those old ministers are full of complaints." ”

Nala didn't expect to be so stubborn when she spun Hongshi, and she didn't know what to say for a while, and continuing to compete would only make Hongli more excited and even walk away, and this was obviously not the result she wanted.

The hands resting on his lap clenched hard and then loosened, and after repeating this a few times, Nala calmed down, ordered Xiao Ningzi and the others to retreat and said: "Hongshi, now there are only you and my mother and son left here, there is no need to avoid anything, this palace asks you, do you want to lose to Hongli and Hongday?" ”

Hongshi didn't think about it and said, "Erchen naturally doesn't want to." But the Emperor ......"

Nala interrupted him and said, "Don't care what your emperor Ama thinks, this palace only asks yourself, do you want to lose or win?" ”

"Win!" This one word speaks to Hiroshi's current thoughts, he doesn't want to lose to anyone, even his younger brother.

"Good." Nala held Hongshi's shoulder and said: "Since this is the case, no matter how dissatisfied you are with your Emperor Ama, and how innocent you think Prince Lian is, you can hold back to this palace, and you are not allowed to show the slightest in front of your Emperor Ama!"

Nala's words made Hongshi very dissatisfied, and when he was about to open his mouth, his hand holding his shoulder tightened, only to hear Nala's words: "You listen to Huang Eniang first." ”

Seeing that Hongshi closed her mouth again, she said in a slower tone than just now: "Your emperor Ama is forty-eight years old, although his body is still quite strong now, but he is getting old day by day, so he will be the crown prince sooner or later to determine who will inherit the throne in a hundred years." You are the eldest son and sister-in-law, logically speaking, you are the best candidate for the crown prince, but Concubine Xi has always been unwilling to do so, and wants her son to inherit the throne. ”
