Everyone else squeezed their heads and wanted to be promoted, but she even shirked it, she was too upright, and the unmoved Qianlong insisted on her own opinion, "If I say you have it, you will have it." Don't care what others say, you have my support behind you, and you can rest assured. ”

After helping her up, Qianlong pulled her to sit down next to her, what he had failed to get, and now it was finally realized in her, he unconsciously wanted to give her better care, and all the favor that he had no chance to give was paid to Yingzhen, and he would have an illusion of perfection.

The soft Ying really didn't dare to refute anything, and she didn't understand why the emperor was so special to her, so she could only thank her and accept this inexplicable favor in a daze.

It's April in a blink of an eye, a pear blossom fragrance rhymes, the garden is full of fragrant drunken skirts, this day, Fangluo is picking pear blossoms with people, ready to brew some pear blossom wine, the white tea over there trotted over, panting and saying that Mrs. is looking for her to have a good thing!

Fang Luo then gave the flower basket to the others, "So urgent, what is Madame looking for me?"

"Hmm-actually, it's nothing," Bai Cha put his hands behind his back and smiled mischievously: "That is, there is a letter, Madame said that it is your name!

Faith?...... Is it him? Bao Ning said that he would come back from the Spring Festival, and now it is April, could it be his letter?

Fangluo, who was full of anticipation, didn't ask any more questions, put down his rolled up sleeves, straightened his clothes, and went back to Zhaohua Courtyard with white tea.

The other maids were envious, "Hey, last time when Mrs. Tai wanted to punish her, the Ninth Master said that she was caught by the Hou Ye!

"That's not it, Sister Fangluo is smart and beautiful, her appearance is also one and two among the maids, and she is the favored person next to the Ninth Lady, and it is reasonable to be looked down upon by the Hou Ye. We're just dreaming!"

"What do you know! Just look at the surface, but you don't know the inside story!" The one who spoke was the maid Xinliu beside the eldest lady, who was also picking loquat fruits in this garden, and when she heard the envy of others, she sneered with disdain,

Those gossip maids hurriedly came over to inquire and asked her what was going on, and she said mysteriously, "I heard that the Hou Ye is mediocre in appearance, and disabled, and is a lame person! If he is a normal person, how can he look down on a maid!"

"Really, have you seen it? How did I hear that Hou Ye is a talent?"

The little guy on the side couldn't hear her nonsense, and couldn't help but reprimand: "Listen to her nonsense! I have seen the Marquis of Dingyong at the gate of the palace, although the appearance of the Hou Ye is not as good as our eighth master, but he is also a heroic and righteous general, his toes are injured, and he walks for a while, why do you become lame in your mouth? Could it be that he is jealous of Sister Fangluo?"

The new willow who was demolished couldn't hold his face, pinched the handkerchief and stomped his feet, hating the little guy, "Let's work! Let's talk, what are you talking about?" Then he turned his head and wanted to continue to tell them, those maids were no longer willing to listen,

"You haven't seen it, it's not true at all. ”

"That's it! Sister Fangluo can find a good home, that is her blessing, she usually treats us well, we are both maids, we should be happy for her, you are good, you will only sour people, and bury the Hou Ye!"

"How can I bury people? This is the truth!" Xin Liu, who was not convinced, shouted: "Who doesn't know that he has a problem with his legs? If it is normal, how can that Gege not want to marry him and would rather be a concubine for the Ninth Master?"

Fang Luo didn't fancy that someone was the Hou Ye, and he didn't care if he had any problems, so he was willing to be a concubine, hum!

"Even so, it's okay to blame? Let's be girls, which one doesn't want to fly on the branches? Who wants to call people for the rest of their lives? Just you are high!"

After the little girl next to the two Seventh Ladies turned around and left, she was still laughing at Xinliu, "It's the same as pretending to be innocent, it's not that the fifth master slept with her, and she didn't give her a name when she slept, it's really sad!"

"The fifth master likes foxy women, look at that concubine Licai, isn't it the one he brought back from Fengyue Field! People are used to coaxing men, and the fifth master was coaxed by her, what is Xinliu, and he doesn't have that confusing kung fu,

I heard that when the eldest young master was still in the house, Xinliu had also served him! Then when he was with the fifth master, he must not be clean, the fifth master was just taking advantage of her to play with her, how could she be a concubine, and obviously robbing women with the eldest young master, wouldn't it hurt the harmony!"

"So, Sister Fangluo is still the luckiest, we have to be free to talk a lot, maybe when she is picked up by Hou Ye, she will remember the love of the past and reward us with some good things!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

After the two separated, she had received two letters from Bao Ning, this is the third, and she can write two pages back to his letter, and she is finally shy, not good at expressing, I don't know what to say, just reply to a two-line word,

After returning to the room, Yu Zhen gave her the letter and urged her to open it, and Bai Cha also coaxed her, wanting to see what Hou Ye wrote to her.

Although he was curious, he didn't dare to get closer, "Oh, you can't peek, in case you see something you shouldn't see, Sister Fangluo should be shy!"

"What are you talking about! It's all daily trivialities, there's nothing you shouldn't see, just come and see!" After opening the letter, Fang Luo took a closer look, his face gradually became solemn, Yu Zhen saw this, and vaguely had a bad premonition, and asked her what happened, but heard Fang Luo say:

Hou Ye said that he planned to leave again in May, but a letter from home said that his mother was seriously ill, and he only came back a month in advance, and the letter was written at the end of March, and he would probably be able to rush back to the capital in early May. ”

"How can this be?" Yu Zhen still remembers that at the beginning of last month, when Concubine Yu's child held a palace banquet on the full moon, she also met Bao Ning's Eniang, "When I greeted her at that time, I was still very energetic, and I didn't see anything wrong. ”

"He said that he was suddenly seriously ill, but he didn't write the specifics, so he could only wait for him to come back. ”

This is a big deal, and it is related to Fangluo's happiness! Yu Zhen couldn't feel at ease, and privately asked Fu Heng to help inquire whether Bao Ning's condition had improved.

Fu Heng sent someone to visit and got the news, saying that he was suddenly ill and that he was fine during the day, but he suddenly had a stroke that night, and he found it late, and he kept twitching, and now his left arm and left leg can't move, almost unconscious, and the whole person is paralyzed on the bed,

The doctor said that there was little chance of improvement, and she was holding on, probably wanting to wait for her son to return. ”

"She's in her early forties, right, at the age when she's supposed to be happy, why did she get this disease?"

Fu Heng also sighed, "If this old lady really has three longs and two shorts, then Baoning will not be able to take a concubine within three years, and she will not be able to be with Fangluo." ”

"Yes, then we have to continue to wait, there are too many variables in three years!" Yu Zhen hopes that Bao Ning's Eniang can get better soon, so that the two will have a chance to stay together as soon as possible.

Because Fu Heng pretended to have a hidden illness, Mrs. Tai often found some miracle doctors to see him, he was annoyed, but he also had to deal with it, fortunately, Mrs. Tai did not mention the matter of concubines again, and no longer blamed Yu Zhen for not being able to give birth to children, Yu Zhen finally lived a peaceful life, and there was no need to listen to Mrs. Tai's verbosity.

In recent days, Fu Heng has a headache and frowns, Yu Zhen saw that he was so tired, came to his side, personally pressed his temples for him, the brown glazed incense burner in the house burned Su Hexiang, and it couldn't calm him, "There are so many worries all day long, it's really tiring to be an official!"

"What? Who's mad at you? Tell me. ”

"It's not those people, insatiable, and complicated, who are in trouble for me, and are in a dilemma. Originally, he didn't want to tell Yu Zhen about these bad things, but he was too irritable, and he doubted whether his position was correct, so he wanted to say it and let her come up with an idea.

"Supervising the imperial history Zhong Yongtan, the secret military department Shangshu Eshan accepted a bribe of 10,000 taels of silver, because there was no evidence, he did not dare to participate in the open, so he secretly played to the emperor for a visit. The emperor originally suspected that Yongtan had framed Eshan and wanted to punish him.

But for the sake of justice, he ordered Prince Yi, Zhang Tingyu, Neqin and me to investigate and interrogate impartially, at first Eshan refused to admit it, and then his family confessed, and he admitted it, saying that he was greedy for a thousand taels.

But Eshan is Ortai's family again, Ortai learned about this, and intended to let me help hide it, but I am not the only one who investigates the case, among which there are relatives, I and Ne relatives are not on good terms, and last time he gave his daughter and Zhao Yi a marriage contract with the emperor, and the relatives hated me even more, just waiting to catch my handle,

If I dare to help Ortai conceal Eshan's corruption, my relatives will definitely join me again, but if I don't help, I will refute Ortai's face, which is really embarrassing. ”

He has always had a very good relationship with Ortai, and now Ortai has a request, in love, he is not easy to refuse, in reason, he should not be favoritism, it is difficult to do it with talent, how to stay out of the matter, it has become a problem, think for a moment, Yu really remembered something,

"The end of the month is your Amma's sacrifice day, I heard Eniang say that it is the tenth anniversary, you can do it more grandly, the emperor is a filial son, and he will not prevent you from fulfilling your filial piety, you can take advantage of this reason to retreat. ”

Hey, this is a very good idea, as long as he finds an excuse not to follow up on this case, then Ortai will not be able to count on him anymore, he will not have to worry about it anymore, save trouble and worry!

Fu Heng, who found a way, suddenly relaxed a lot, raised his arm and pulled her into his arms, not letting her press it anymore, so that she could rest, "Madame, good idea, so that I can prepare for Amma's affairs with peace of mind, and I don't have to tell the truth, the best of both worlds." ”

When Fu Heng re-entered the court the next day, he asked the emperor for an edict, saying that he wanted to prepare for the 10th anniversary of his Amma, Qianlong did not hesitate, and agreed, and finally stopped letting him investigate the corruption case of Eshan.

At the beginning of May, Zhaoan had arranged his son's family affairs properly, and on the day of the wedding, Qingyan refused to visit the church, and even refused to change his wedding clothes.

"If you say you don't marry, you won't marry, whoever loves you wants it!
