Hongshi nodded vigorously and said: "Erchen understands, then Erchen will go to Huang Ama to ask for advice." ”

"Go ahead." Under the gaze of the Nala clan, Hongshi left Kunning Palace, and when he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yinzhen was taking a nap and waited outside for a while before entering.

Entering the inner hall, he saw that Su Peisheng was serving Yinzhen to change clothes, he hurriedly walked over and took the clothes in Su Peisheng's hand and put them on for Yinzhen.

Yin Zhen looked at him and said, "It's been a long time?" ”

Hongshi lowered his head and said softly: "If you go back to the emperor Ama, your son has just arrived. ”

Yin Zhen nodded and said, "Well, is there something wrong with coming to see me at this time?" ”

"Yes, the retainers have something to enlighten the emperor Amma." After tying the belt for Yinzhen, Hongshi took a step back and said, "Erchen recently heard that someone is pretending to be Prince Baoshuo and swaggering everywhere. ”

Yin Zhen frowned, stared at Hongshi and said, "There is such a thing?" ”

"Erchen didn't dare to believe it at first, after all, Prince Baoshuo had already been buried, but somehow, the news that Prince Baoshuo was burned beyond recognition spread out, and some people who were good at deception made a fuss about this, saying that the person who died was not Prince Baoshuo, but someone else, and then he pretended to be Prince Baoshuo and deceived everywhere!"

Listening to Hongshi's words, Yinzhen's eyelids jumped violently, and for a long time, he said with a hint of imperceptible trembling: "Hongshi, will it be true that you said this matter, Hongli him...... Really not dead? ”

Hongshi was startled, and when he was thinking about how to answer, Yinzhen had already waved his hand and said: "It's that I think too much, if Hongli is really not dead, how can he delay returning to Beijing." Hongli ...... It's already dead, and it's impossible to be alive. ”

Hongshi hurriedly said: "Erchen knows that Emperor Ama believes in Prince Baoshuo, but people cannot be resurrected after death, and I also ask Emperor Ama to mourn." The most important thing at the moment is to arrest those who pretend to be the crown prince, so that they do not destroy the reputation of the prince and the royal family. ”

"You're right." Yin Zhen nodded, although he had just taken a nap, his expression still looked very tired, "Since you found out about this matter, it is up to you to handle it, and I will not allow anyone to use his name to do anything to deceive." ”

"If the son obeys the order, the son will definitely finish this matter." With this promise, a big stone in Hongshi's heart finally landed, with this holy decree, even if Hongli is a fake prince, he can also say that it is a fake fake.

And Hongli's side, after never finding a way to enter the city, also thought of Li Wei, who was far away in Zhejiang, and went to Zhejiang, they didn't know that Hongshi had set a trap in Zhejiang, waiting for them to get in.

Whether it was Yinzhen or Ling Ruo, they didn't know that their son Hongli was not only not dead, but also came outside the capital, but was obstructed by Hongshi's people and could not enter the city.

Since that time in Merlin, Ling Ruo has never seen Yinzhen again, and she has never stepped out of the palace gate again, just reading books and copying Buddhist scriptures every day, trying to keep her mood calm, so as not to affect the fetal gas.

Occasionally, she would remember what Yinzhen said in the netting forest that day, he said that he would never take Nalan Mei'er as a concubine, and said that he would never let him down. That being the case, why did he force Ah Qiwei to divorce his wife, and why did he bring Nalan Mei'er to the palace and open the Yikun Palace for her to live in. Each of these things implies that he has the heart to accept her as a concubine.

But if Yinzhen was just perfunctory at that time, and it didn't look like it, what was going on?

During this period of time, news continued to reach Ling Ruo's ears, which was nothing more than that Yinzhen had rewarded Nalan Mei'er with some rare treasures, but he had never heard that Yinzhen had spent the night in Yikun Palace.

"Master, the head of the Internal Affairs Office is asking to see you outside." Shui Yue's words interrupted Ling Ruo's contemplation, stroked his face and raised his eyes, "Let him in." ”

Since he was promoted to the head of the Internal Affairs Office, the spring breeze was proud, Qian Moduo looked much younger than before, he patted his sleeves and knelt down after he came in and said: "Slave Qian Moduo asks Concubine Xi Niangniang to say goodbye, Concubine Xi Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

"Mr. Qian, please." Seeing him get up in thanks, Ling Ruo asked, "I don't know why Manager Qian came to see the palace today?" ”

Qian Moduo said flatteringly: "Hui Xi Concubine Niangniang's words, yesterday just came to pay tribute to a batch of high-grade blood swallows, and the servants have already allocated them according to the use of each palace and each courtyard, but according to the usual practice, I have to ask Niangniang to make a decision after looking at it." He said as he handed over the booklet in his hand.

Ling Ruo's gaze quickly swept the contents of the booklet, the blood swallow is the top grade of bird's nest, not all harems are eligible to enjoy it, so there are not many people who record it in the booklet.

This batch of blood swallows has a total of eighteen catties, Yinzhen has five catties, himself and the queen each have three catties, Shu Mulu and Liu have two catties each, and the remaining three catties are returned to Yikun Palace.

Shui Yue stood next to Ling Ruo, saw the contents of the booklet clearly, and said quickly: "Hey, Father-in-law Qian, why is there no name of the concubine on the booklet, and also, the person in Yikun Palace is the same as the queen and my master, who has three catties alone?" ”

She said so bluntly that Qian Moduo didn't know how to answer, rubbed his hands and said for a while: "Miss Shuiyue doesn't know, I originally wrote the name of the concubine, and they have the same two catties as the concubines, but they happened to wait for the palace people of Nalan Fujin to come over, and they were not happy to see the slave like this, and asked the slave why Nalan Fujin was only one catty, and said that it had to be the same as Niangniang, and the slave had no choice but to ......."

"I had to give her the two catties of the concubine, right?" Shui Yue said coldly: "Although Nalan Fujin can make an errand there, I don't know how the father-in-law should deal with the concubine?" ”

"Water Moon!" Ling Ruo scolded lightly, signaled Shui Yue not to say any more, and then closed the booklet and handed it to Qian Moduo and said: "Nalan Fujin was quite favored by the first emperor before she got married, and now she is temporarily living in the palace, so she should not be treated lightly, just follow the three catties of blood swallow you said above, but the concubine should not be treated so lightly, and allocate two catties from the palace to the concubine." ”

"In this way, doesn't Niang Niang only have one pound of blood swallows left, how can it be enough?" Ling Ruo's words made Qian Moduo stunned, and he also knew that he was too biased, but Nalan Fujin was a popular person in the palace now, and it was rumored everywhere in the palace that the emperor would make her a concubine, or even a concubine, and he really didn't dare to offend. He brought the booklet to Ling Ruo to look at, firstly, this was indeed a common practice, and secondly, if Ling Ruo felt that this division was not good, and felt that Nalan Fujin should not be divided into three catties, so as to reduce it, then in the future, when Nalan Fujin asked, he would have something to shirk.

Ling Ruo smiled and said nonchalantly: "The blood swallow is not enough, you can use the official swallow, and it doesn't mean that the blood swallow must be." Saying this, she ordered Shui Yue to take the gold seal, and after staining it with cinnabar, she covered it with the seal engraved with the words "Concubine Xi's Golden Seal" at the bottom of the booklet.
