Chapter 124: Offering Beauty

After the court meeting, everyone withdrew from the Taihe Palace, and they all discussed, "What did you say was in Master Li's carriage?" You see him smug like that. Ortai's face was full of curiosity, and he asked Zhang Tingyu, who was walking side by side with him.

"Gold, silver, jewelry? Wine Lady? Rare bird? Isn't it all these clichΓ©s, will there be anything else? Zhang Tingyu shook his court clothes, his expression was a little disdainful, he was really an understanding person, and he explained the mystery in one word.

"Master Zhang, what you say is reasonable. But we don't have to bother here, there are no impermeable walls in this Forbidden City, and I bet that in less than five days, what is in the carriage will be a household name. Ortai patted his chest to Zhang Tingyu with confidence and said.

"Hahaha......" Zhang Tingyu didn't pay attention to him anymore, smiled at the sky, and walked towards the palace gate alone.

"What are you laughing at? You're saying I'm right, aren't you? Is the sun coming out in the west today? It's rare to see you don't talk back to me......" Zhang Tingyu suddenly didn't argue with him, he was still a little unaccustomed to it, chasing after Zhang Tingyu and chattering.

As Zhang Tingyu expected, a few days later, the news of Lord Li offering a beauty to Hongli spread throughout the Forbidden City. Even if Hongli wants to hide it from Orange Creek, I'm afraid it won't help at this time, from the harem concubines of civil and military officials to the palace maids and eunuchs, everything is talked about.

Of course, Orange Creek can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, for the sake of the so-called justice, the so-called world, she has sent the person she cares about the most to the battlefield, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and she has to go through the situation, knock and knock Hongli.

Before Orange Creek could make a move, those who were eager to follow the trend would take the lead first, and everyone would follow Master Li's example. Since Lord Li's people have accepted it, Hongli naturally has no reason to refuse, and in just a few days, Hongli's prince's mansion has six new beauties.

This Hongli is not yet the emperor, began to enjoy the treatment of the three palaces and six courts, but unfortunately it is only on the face, the Forbidden City and the prince's palace are still far away, and Hongli is just too much to enjoy when everyone dedicates it.

Now the palace is lively again, first of all, it is Yingrou, she is jealous, and she is so angry that she asks Orange Creek to resign, saying that she is going back to adjust for Hongli. Teaching the newly accepted people, in fact, is to go back to the house to give those girls a dismount first, and declare her power to be blessed.

Orange Creek readily agreed, after all, it was a good thing for them to learn the rules earlier, and they would not make jokes when they entered the palace in the future.

Moreover, of course, it is Xiang Guifei, she doesn't know where Chunyu and them are now, and no matter how late it is, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to send it to Hongli, Hongli is such a fanfare to accept newcomers, Orange Creek is under pressure, and will definitely come forward to reprimand, at that time, Hongli is afraid that he will not dare to ask for people casually, Xiang Guifei heard the gossip all over the palace, and was in a hurry in Changchun Palace.

At this moment, Xiaobi ran in with a pigeon in her arms, "Master, the young master has a letter." ”

Xiang Guifei was already nervous, and when she heard such news, she almost jumped out, she hurriedly snatched the letter that Xiaobi had just taken from the pigeon's feet, and couldn't wait to open it.

After reading her, she slumped in her chair, "It's over, it's over, I'm afraid it's in vain." ”

"Master, what's wrong? When will Chunyu and them arrive in the capital? ”

"My brother said that he would wait until the war was over and then personally bring Chunyu into the palace." Xiang Guifei put the letter on the table with disgust, frowned tightly, sighed, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant.

"It's okay, master, it's a little late, which emperor will think that he has too many women!" Xiaobi thought very openly, with an indifferent expression, comforting the sulking Xiang Guifei.

"The emperor doesn't dislike too many women, what about the future queen mother and the current queen? Will she also allow Hongli to do such nonsense? ”

Xiaobi thought about it, what Xiang Guifei said was not unreasonable, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, "Really, the slave and maid look at this prince Bao is not like the legend, he is naturally wise, and he has the image of a virtuous monarch!" Such a wine pond meat forest is not as good as our family and the prince. ”

Concubine Xiang raised her head and glanced at Xiaobi, and laughed contemptuously, "What do you know?" Hongli is called pretending to be confused, Hongtai is called pretending to be confused, what can't be competent, as long as you sit in that position, who dares to say that you are not like the emperor, Hongtai is too stupid and doesn't know how to fight. ”

"Then since this is the case, Prince Bao is already one step away, why do you want to black yourself like this?"

"He is not called touching the dark, this is called strengthening his own power, now more than half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have become relatives with him, even if the queen wants to set up another person, I am afraid that such relatives behind him will not agree, of course, we and the prince don't want to fight with him, it's just an egg touching a stone."

Xiaobi nodded understandingly, now they are looking forward to Chunyu's return soon, and they don't want to lose this last straw.

Orange Creek dragged her tired body and sat on the couch, waiting for Hongli's arrival. She didn't move either, since she planned to hand over the power, she didn't want to worry about it anymore, she just wanted to be carefree, there was no right and wrong, she had to get by!

Hongli came in from outside the door and saw the casual Orange Creek, he was a little surprised, he originally thought that as soon as he entered the door, he would see the angry face of Orange Creek, but he didn't think it would be like this, he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Orange Creek asked him to sit, and then he stopped talking, he drank the hot tea sent by Yuhe, and watched Orange Creek look at the book in his hand casually.

He finally didn't hold back, and took the initiative to speak, "I don't know what the emperor's mother called her sons?" ”

"Don't you have anything you want to say to the emperor?" Orange Creek put down the book in his hand at this time, his face was still so unfazed, without the slightest expression.

"I'm afraid that the emperor has also listened to the rumors in the palace recently, right? said that the ministers indulged in wine, accommodated a large number of beauties, and wasted political affairs. ”

"Rumors? Fujin has come to ask for resignation from the palace and return to the house to transfer for you. Teach newcomers, can there still be fake? ”

"It's true to accept newcomers, but Erchen is definitely not indulging in wine, Erchen is trying to balance the power of the court, and those who are dedicated are just thinking that there are people in the palace who are good at doing things and find a backer for themselves, and we can also negotiate and use this to contain these officials, the so-called move and move the whole body, we have to make them dare not move. I don't know if the emperor agrees with the minister's approach? ”

"Since you know it in your heart, Huang Eniang has nothing to say, and Huang Eniang also understands that you are by no means a person who delays political affairs because of wine, and I called you here today just to get rid of the situation and block the mouth."

Seeing that Orange Creek was so aware of righteousness and supported him so much, he respected Orange Creek even more, "Erchen, thank you for your understanding." ”

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Forbidden City has already been dressed in silver, and even in this house, Orange Creek can feel the breath of winter. Thinking about Heber who fought bravely to kill the enemy in the Biansai, she felt panicked in her heart. "The New Year is coming soon, and this day is getting colder and colder day by day. Is there a battle report from the side plug? ”

"Back to the emperor's mother, not yet."

"I'm afraid that these soldiers won't be able to come back in time for the New Year, it's freezing this day, and it's really hard for these loyal soldiers." Orange Creek lamented that in fact, she was worried about Heber, worried that she couldn't sleep well, and worried like a knife.

"The emperor can rest assured that the retainers will send some warm clothes and some food and drink, so that the soldiers can feel at home after the war."

"That's all right." Hongli did this, so that Orange Creek's tormented heart was slightly relieved.

The two of them began to talk about the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, seeing that this new year is coming again, this belly is getting bigger day by day, and Orange Creek, who is a mother again, is still full of expectations for the arrival of the child.

A few days later, the report of the battle finally came from the border fortress, and the first stop was won, and all the enemy troops were driven out of the city thirty miles away. But the enemy army did not seem to have the intention of retreating, and Heber saw that the weather was cold, the snow was falling, and they could not have an advantage at all in the snow, so he chose to stand still for the time being, and let the soldiers rest a little.

When Orange Creek heard the news, she was finally not so uneasy, and there was a lot of joy in the Forbidden City, all of them were preparing for the New Year.

According to the old rules, fireworks are set off on the high platform on Chinese New Year's Eve. Hongli was worried that Orange Creek was pregnant and it was not suitable to go to such a noisy place, so he deliberately called Yu Lan back to Kunning Palace, and repeatedly told her that she must be optimistic about Orange Creek and not leave Kunning Palace.

In fact, everyone knows that if Hongli gets rid of Orange Creek at this time, he can also justifiably ascend to the throne of God, why should he be pressed by Orange Creek all the time. Even Yingrou doesn't understand, not just an adoptive mother, but Hongli is filial to Orange Creek and treats her as a biological mother, but at this time, her status is not stable, she doesn't dare to touch these unknown things, for fear of burning herself, since Hongli wants to enter filial piety, then she will follow him.

In fact, only Hongli himself understands in his heart what a status this woman who is called the emperor's mother in her heart, from the first time she saw Orange Creek, she never forgot Orange Creek, and only hated to meet too late, when she was already the emperor's woman.

What he never expected was that the emperor would let this woman who made him feel heartwarming be his mother. But that's fine, at least you can justifiably see her every day. At this time, the secret in Hongli's heart, the secret that no one knows, he doesn't plan to let others know, there is a feeling that can surpass men and women, as long as the other party is good, it is enough!

So even on the issue of the throne, Orange Creek has always held on to it, wanting to monopolize power, and Hongli will not go up to fight for it, because he doesn't want to fight with her.

I don't know where Orange Creek came from, but Hongli still has this meaning to her, she stupidly handed over the power, if it was someone else, she would have asked for her head. What kind of bullshit reason to give peace to the world and benefit all the people! She thinks she is the savior, it is Guanyin Bodhisattva in the world, is this a blind cat encountering a dead mouse? Or does she have a halo on her head.

The best understanding is that her ability is limited! I just want to find a staircase for myself. This is the sequelae of impulsiveness, but fortunately, Hongli harmless her.
