Ying Rou was already waiting there early, "The prince is here!" Take a seat! Ying Rou greeted her with a smile on her face, she deliberately sat on the right hand side of Hongli, and Yu Lan sat on the left hand side of Hongli.

The three of them laughed and ate happily, much better than last night's atmosphere.

Everyone ate seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and when Ying Rou saw Yu Lan drop her chopsticks and was about to get off the table, she hurriedly stopped, "Sister Yu Lan, there is also the red date and white fungus soup that I stewed myself, my sister is not very good, come and drink a bowl!" ”

Yu Lan was already full, but Ying Rou said so, she had no reason to refuse, "Then thank you Fujin." ”

Ying Rou said as she served a bowl for the emperor, and she gave Jin Qiu a look and motioned for her to give Yu Lansheng.

Sakura Rou's previous words were still lingering in Jin Qiu's ears, she didn't dare not do it, whether it was a murderous poison in this bottle or something else, she had to follow Sakura Rou's explanation and finish it well. Her hands trembled slightly with fear, and when Sakura saw this, she pinched her thigh with her hand.

The pain made her sober, she took a deep breath, and brought the white fungus soup in her hand to Yu Lan, and Ying Rou did not forget to reluctantly send Yu Lan a smiling face.

In order not to refute Ying Rou's face, Yu Lan insisted on eating it cleanly one spoonful at a time, Ying Rou watched her eat with wide eyes, and when she saw that the bowl had bottomed out, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Sister, do you want another bowl?" ”

Yu Lan felt that she had eaten her throat, and hurriedly shook her hand to refuse, "Thank you Fujin, I really can't eat it!" ”

She turned her eyes and said to Hongli, "Lord, the concubine has eaten, why don't you wait for you outside." ”

"No, this king is almost ready."

Ying Rou pretended to keep Yu Lan, "Sister, this is going to enter the palace?" You haven't seen the prince for so long, so why don't you stay a few more days? ”

"Thank you Fujin for your kindness, the emperor asked Eniang to help with the funeral of the imperial concubine, and my sister has to go back to help."

"Oh! That's it! Then I won't keep my sister. Sakura Rou had a pleasant face on the surface, and thought to herself, let's go! Don't come back when you're gone, and enjoy the gift that Ben Fu Jin has given you!

Hongli finished eating, "This king entered the palace to assist Eniang, I don't know when I will return to the house, this king is not there, and the affairs in the house will be hard to take care of." ”

"Although the prince can rest assured, the concubine will definitely live up to the prince's trust." Ying Rou blessed her body and promised the prince that she would follow the prince and Yu Lan and send them out of the palace gate.

When they went out, Yingrou returned to the house, "Jinqiu, today's business is done, and I will go and get ten taels of silver later." ”

did a good job and was rewarded by Sakura, but Jinqiu couldn't be happy. She was very scared in her heart, if the East Window incident happened, Sakura Rou would definitely push her out first to apologize.

"Why do you have a straight face? Is it not enough to be rewarded? Sakura's expression immediately became stern, and she put away the presumptuous smile she had just put away.

"No, the slave Xie Fujin's reward, it's just...... It's just a matter of Fang Cai, will it affect Fujin? Jin Qiu didn't know how to ask, so he squeezed out such a sentence.

When Sakura heard this, she laughed insolently, "So you're worried about my safety?" Don't worry, you can't climb on me, I want her to live and not die, and she can't die, haha......" She laughed heartily.

Jinqiu looked at her distorted face with a smile, and her laughter made Jinqiu feel panicked.

In the Taihe Palace, all the ministers knew that the emperor was going to bury the emperor's concubine with the queen's courtesy, and they all talked about it, Zhang Tingyu, Ortai, Li Wei and other ministers all tried their best to stop the emperor's unruly behavior.

"If the emperor insists on burying the concubine of the emperor with the queen's gift, then please ask the emperor to posthumously crown her as the queen and give her the title, so as not to embarrass the historians and avoid criticism from future generations." Zhang Tingyu took the lead in coming out to play, not wanting the emperor to mess up the rules left by his ancestors.

"Minister Ortai seconded the proposal!"

"Minister Li Wei seconded the proposal!"

……

The ministers all jumped out and agreed, looking at the courtiers who were bowing down one by one, and listening to the same words from their mouths. The emperor was instantly furious, and felt a splitting headache, "You, you ......" He pointed to the ministers under him, but he was speechless.

Although the emperor deplored the death of the imperial concubine in his heart, in his heart, she was not enough to become his queen. What's more, the position of the queen is noble and supreme, how can she be posthumously sealed casually. And the most important point, which is also what the emperor cares about the most, he already has the queen candidate in his heart, and he doesn't want Orange Creek to feel that the queen's position is so easy to get.

"Okay, let's bury it with the gift of the imperial concubine." After saying that, the emperor turned around angrily and left, this emperor is really boring, even his concubine is dead, how to bury it, he can't be the master, the emperor secretly thought in his heart, and his mood was naturally not much better.

Gonggong Chen shouted for him, "Retreat!" Then he also chased the emperor away.

The ministers shook their heads and dispersed.

The distraught emperor went to Kunning Palace after the next court.

Heber, who got the message sent by Orange Creek, rushed to Kunning Palace before the emperor. "Concubine Xi, I don't know what is the matter of calling Weichen?"

"Hurry up! Heber, if there are no outsiders, you don't behave like this, I don't even know you. Orange Creek personally stepped forward to help Heber up, pointed to the chair, and said, "Sit down and talk!" ”

Seeing Orange Creek's preoccupied appearance, Heber was very worried, "Concubine Xi, isn't there something difficult for you?" Herb asked with concern.

Orange Creek shook her head, sighed and said, "It's not me, it's me who promised someone one thing, and now I don't know if I should do it?" How? ”

Herb knew that he had to do it, or Orange Creek wouldn't have gone to him. "Concubine Xi will say it carefully, and the minister will definitely do his best to do it well." Herb didn't ask what it was, and before Orange Creek could ask him, he offered himself.

Orange Creek told Hebo in detail what had happened, and Hebo thought for a moment, "This matter can't be done by the concubine in person, the concubine can rest assured, the minister should act at the opportunity, even if the result is bad, he will never climb the concubine." ”

"Then thank you Heber, after all, it's two lives, I really can't bear it." Orange Creek had a sympathetic look on her face.

Herb was about to say something, but Gonggong Chen's voice forced him to mention the words in his throat, and swallowed it back.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Although they didn't do anything unfortunate, the sudden arrival of the emperor still made the two a little nervous.

"General Heber is there too? Look at you two nervous, and what are you doing here behind my back. The emperor looked at Heber, who had already risen from his chair and stood there with his head bowed.

When Heber heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The emperor Mingjian, Weichen just stopped by to see Concubine Xi, and he had no other intentions." ”

"Your Majesty, don't scare your brother, get up quickly! Didn't you see that the emperor was joking with you? My sister-in-law is still waiting for you at home! You'd better go back quickly! Orange Creek took the emperor's hand and said with a bit of coquettishness.

The emperor immediately put away his serious expression and hooked Orange Creek's nose, "It's really a roundworm in my stomach, I'm about to be seen through by you." ”

"How disgusting roundworms are! The concubines don't want to be roundworms, they have to do it, the emperor's hair will accompany them for a lifetime, and they will accompany the emperor all the time. "Orange Creek deliberately said something to make the emperor happy, and to say something numb, so as to buy time for Heber to leave quickly.

Although Heber was flustered and jealous when he heard it, he was still happy that Orange Creek and the emperor could be so affectionate.

When the emperor heard this, his heart was sweet, and his previous anger was thrown out of the clouds. hugged Orange Creek's waist and let Orange Creek stick to himself.

"General Heber, if you're all right, go back first!" How could the emperor let Heber ruin the fun here, and hurriedly issued an expulsion order.

"Yes, Weichen retires!" Herb stood up and saluted, and exited the room. Out of the gate of Kunning Palace, he trotted towards the gate of the palace.

Hongtai waited at the gate of the palace early with Jiu Enthalpy, who was wearing a eunuch suit, and the two of them hid in the corner of the wall, looking at the palace gate from a distance, looking forward to the appearance of Orange Creek.

Heber thought all the way on the way here, he must do this for Orange Creek, Hongtai's favor will definitely be helpful to Orange Creek in the future.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Heber searched everywhere and didn't see any trace of Hongtai, and saw that noon had passed, "Could it be that the seventh elder brother has temporarily changed his hexagram?" He was unwilling to leave like this, and asked the guards guarding the city, "This colleague, dare to ask if you have ever seen the seventh elder brother?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, General Heber calls the little one like this, it's a torment. The seventh elder brother came here just now, and went in that direction. The guards guarding the city pointed to Hongtai and Jiu Yan and said.

"Thank you!" Heber thanked the guards and walked towards Hongtai. "Seventh Brother!"

"O General Heber! It's a blessing to be able to meet the general here, where does the general want to go? When Hongtai saw Heber coming, he deliberately pulled Jiu Enthalpy behind him, for fear that Heber would see something.

Heber went straight to the point, "It's not a chance encounter, Weichen is here to find the seventh elder brother." ”

Hearing Heber say this, Hongtai, who didn't know Heber's intentions, was a little nervous, "Looking for me? What are you looking for me? ”

"Weichen was entrusted by Concubine Xi to take the girl behind Brother out of the palace."

Hongtai helped Jiu Yan to take a few steps back, "Why should I believe you." ”

This really stumped Heber, he should have asked Orange Creek to give him a token, or write a note by himself! This little lover is now like a frightened bird, how can he trust him easily.

However, seeing the words and deeds of the two, Heber felt a lot more relaxed, at least it could prove that this was not a trap.

I can only spend a little more lip and tongue, Seventh Elder Brother is not a stupid person, he will definitely be able to distinguish between good and bad, "Seventh Elder Brother, Weichen is the brother of Concubine Xi, if it wasn't for her entrustment, how would Weichen know that Seventh Elder Brother would be waiting here?" Could it be that in addition to Concubine Xi, there are many people who know about this? Having said that, even if more people know, who would still be able to move Weichen to do such a thing that is likely to cause trouble? ”

Hongtai carefully considered Heber's words, and looked at Heber with a sincere face, not to mention that General Heber was famous and was a gentleman who stood up to the sky. He believed Herb, "Then please general." ”
