Hearing the movement, everyone stopped and looked back, between a four-pillar without decoration, the diameter of the wheel is four feet, the wheel is five feet long, the ceremonial car driven by a horse is parked in front of the park, the ceremonial car is painted golden, carved Zhai is a pattern, Huizhu is very familiar with this, the year before last she went out with Yinzhen to sacrifice the day, is to take the same specification of the ceremonial car to go.

The rest of the people also guessed who was sitting in the instrument car, and they couldn't help but wonder, Nian was banned in Lingkun Palace, how did she come here in the instrument car?

Huizhu was also confused, but then remembered a conversation in the early morning, Nian Qianyao had been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, thinking that Nian had gotten the news and asked for permission from the Wuzi Nara clan, so he came by ceremonial car.

On the occasion of Nahan, the curtain cone under the hanging carriage was lifted, and the two palace ladies helped Nian to get out of the car. Nian Shi held Gong E's hand and barely stood firm, raised his eyes to see, a pair of mist around the desolate and sad eyes swept over everyone's slightly surprised faces, and finally stared at the dark red figure of the concubines in the middle, his eyes were darkened again, and he retracted his gaze again, and motioned for Gong E to help her into the garden.

"Yo, don't say 'kneel down' ceremony, you have to do a 'Tao Wanfu' ceremony." Hidden among the concubines, one said.

"Yes, I don't know who is a talented girl who has learned from Yu and is rich, how can she not even know the minimum palace rules and etiquette?" A concubine echoed, causing everyone to eat and laugh

The young concubine wanted to pick up the steps for a moment, her thin body swayed slightly from the whistling north wind, she wanted to breathe and forbear, and finally looked sideways slightly, and her cold eyes swept to the palace concubines, and when they retreated from their weak hearts, they suspended their backs, and then raised their chins slightly, and looked down on the stone steps to the concubines and said: "Although the emperor issued a canonization decree, Concubine Xi did not carry out the canonization ceremony for one day, and she knew that she was Concubine Xi one day." As for the salute, he was slightly panting, coughed heavily for a moment, looked straight into Huizhu's eyes, and said lightly: "This palace will not let that day come." ”

Provocation, provocation in full view!

Hongli moved two steps forward at this time, approached Huizhu's side, and whispered: "Eniang"

Huizhu understood what he meant, but she sighed helplessly in her heart, and she was bound to have to practice in front of the public.

In the midst of her thoughts, Huizhu had already made up her mind. The plain hand wrapped in the dark red crepe silver rat cloak stroked the gilded small hand stove slowly, felt the warmth emanating from it, and smiled with satisfaction: "Sister Nian, three days later, it will be my sister's promotion ceremony, and my sister is waiting for my sister to come - Chaohe." ”

Hearing this, Nian's shoulders trembled violently, and his slightly yellowish face turned pale for a while, but he stubbornly showed a strong momentum, and dropped a sentence: "I hope that day can come as Sister Xi thinks." With that, he turned and left.

Huizhu looked at the figure of Huan Ting who was gradually moving away, and a trace of confusion passed through her heart, the last time Nian's entered the garden to ask for her life, the imperial doctor had vaguely pointed out that Nian's life was not long, probably just a little delay, at most next winter. But when I saw it today, I couldn't hide my haggard face that had been sick for a long time, and I could still see the elegance of the past.

Nian's body is very emaciated, the cover is covered with the white of the moon as the base, and the decoration is embroidered with a green calyx (green plum blossom) cloak, the color of the cloak is cold, and the embroidered calyx is arrogant and arrogant, looking from a distance, Nian's is like a green plum blossom that blooms alone in the cold in the ice and snow, lonely shadow, pitiful.

After lying on the sickbed for a long time, Nian's appearance was damaged a lot, but today she is carefully putting on makeup. The sickly yellow is rubbed with a makeup powder made of rice flour to cover the yellowish skin; The curved eyebrows are covered with powder, and they are depicted as smoke eyebrows, which is like the words in "Song of Long Hatred", "Hibiscus is like a willow like an eyebrow"; The cheeks are not coated with rouge, but a vermilion lip grease on the pale lip gloss, as if "the lips are a little peachy".

The concubines were all confused, but more vigilant, looking at the figure of the Nian family walking away, their eyes were gradually eroded by jealousy, and a trace of doubt appeared in their hearts - Yinzhen saw the seemingly dusty Nian, it was the dusty Nian, can it not breed pity?

The answer, everyone couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't help but lose interest, so they had to praise Huizhu in high spirits. Seeing everyone's expressions, Huizhu guessed a little bit about it, so she laughed and entered the garden, and then beat everyone and left.

Back in the courtyard, Huizhu simply freshened up, went to the wind and frost on the road, changed into a regular dress, lazily lay on the mattress, took a sip of hot tea with a leisurely expression, and slowly asked: "What method did the young concubine make the queen willing to brush the emperor's will?" Xiao Ranzi sneered: "The slave thought that the young concubine would hold her own identity and keep her high." In the end, it wasn't the method of a market shrew who cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. ”

"Click-" There was a green sound, and the white glaze printed tea rested on the gold lacquer table, Xiao Ranzi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly confessed his guilt, saying, "Since the young concubine Niangniang learned that Nian Qianyao was in the prison, she threatened her with her life, and the queen couldn't, so she had to rely on her." ”

Huizhu snorted lightly as an answer, and then ordered: "Hongli and Bao'er have gone to wash and change clothes, Su Xin, you let the kitchen prepare food, and eat at an hour in the evening." Su Xin responded, and then asked: "Master, you are also back, why don't you go and ask for peace to the Lord of Long Live?" ”

Huizhu turned her gaze to the window frame, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside, lowered her eyes slightly, and said: "At this moment, it is estimated that the young concubine is asking to see Yinzhen, and the palace does not want to disturb the matter between them. Su Xin still wanted to persuade again, Xiao Ranzi preemptively said: "The slave inquired, Long Live Lord didn't want to meet the young concubine, so he directly ordered her to go back, and she was not allowed to step into the Old Summer Palace again." As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a look of schadenfreude.

Huizhu glanced at him angrily, but also changed her tone and said, "Go and see if Concubine Nian has been sent back to the Forbidden City?" If you go back, the palace will go to the emperor again to say goodbye. Xiao Ranzi responded with a smile, and after a thousand calls, he retreated to inquire about the news.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Xiao Ranzi walked out, and happened to collide with the palace eunuch who came in a hurry outside, and sat down on the ground, Xiao Ranzi said "ouch", rubbed his body and said angrily: "There is no rule thing, what kind of place is this, you can break in." The palace eunuch was yelled at by Xiao Ranzi, his face turned pale with fright, and he stood helplessly trembling.

Su Xin couldn't look at it, and asked, "What's the matter?" The palace eunuch woke up suddenly, and he couldn't care about losing anymore, and shouted at Huizhu: "Concubine Xi, it's not good!" Long live the Lord didn't see the Nian Concubine Niangniang, and insisted on sending her back to the palace, but the Nian Concubine Niangniang didn't want to, so she wanted to commit suicide...... Go check it out. ”

Xiao Ranzi has always disliked Nian's family, and when he heard this, he got up from the ground and said: "I didn't see that the master just returned to the garden, and he was tired of traveling all the way, so how could he have the leisure to deal with this matter." You'd better go to Banzai and the Queen. Saying that, he was still unwilling, and said: "The garden has much fewer rules than the palace, and the palace people are much freer.

Huizhu shouted: "Xiao Ranzi is enough!" You went to Gonggong Lu and said that the young concubine wanted to kill herself...... One more thing, the eighth elder brother is also on the side. After a pause, he turned his eyes to the palace supervisor and said, "You stand down, pass on the words of the palace, and let the three imperial doctors stand by." The two were ordered to retreat.

Su Xin couldn't help but laugh and said: "What did Concubine Nian do about this, not only coerced the queen with her life, but also went to coerce the emperor, and she didn't think about the eighth elder brother." After thinking about it, he frowned and said, "Master, the young concubine is a puddle of troubled water, do you really want to go?" ”

Huizhu said helplessly: "Everyone in the world knows that this palace is alone in the Old Summer Palace, if the matter of the young concubine's suicide is big, and the palace does not come forward, I am afraid that in a few days, the reputation of the palace for being mean and jealous will spread." Again, no matter what Concubine Nian said, she also gave birth to three sons and one daughter for the emperor, and she is still the biological mother of the eighth elder brother, so it is really not okay not to go. After that, seeing that Su Xin's face was distressed, he smiled and said: "If you don't go faster, I'm afraid that Concubine Ning will make a look of crying after a while, mourning and mourning." ”

Su Xin smiled, turned around and opened the cabinet to take out a fur cloak, and said: "It should be snowing in a few days, these days the north is blowing like a knife scraping, the master satin embroidered long body to the length of the fashionable clothes, outside is not frozen." As he spoke, he had already tied his cloak, and then he sent Huizhu out.

Everyone didn't dare to step forward because of the identity of Nian's concubine, and Nian's was pestled outside the courtyard where Yinzhen lived, and wanted to commit suicide. So, because her yard was very close to Yinzhen, Huizhu arrived in a short time. I saw that the palace eunuchs in front of the courtyard gate were surrounded by a group, and there were palace concubines standing outside who came to watch.

Huizhu took a general look at the surrounding situation and couldn't help but stop suddenly.

Seeing Huizhu coming from a distance, Geng hurriedly walked to the front, glanced at Huizhu's expression, and said: "The concubine has been entrusted by her mother and has failed to take care of the palace affairs of the first garden. Huizhu casually dismissed it, and saw that Geng's face was ashamed, and his tone was full of caution, so he had to pull Geng's hand and say two words of relief, and said: "There are more than 100 places here, and this palace doesn't want to see irrelevant people, if anyone dares to violate this palace, they will take it with one life." After hearing this, Geng's heart trembled, but his face still responded respectfully.

Geng's handling of palace affairs is also a good hand, and after a short time, all the idle people have left the company. Huizhu hit Geng's back, wondering if Xiao Ranzi had passed the word? Seeing the palace guards in front of the courtyard gate, Xiao Luzi and Xiao Ranzi came out and said loudly: "Concubine Nian, the emperor has summoned you to meet you." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard an exclamation.

Yigong'e screamed: "Nian Concubine Niangniang fainted! When Huizhu heard this, she hurriedly held Xiaojuan's hand forward, and the palace people who were in a mess saw Huizhu wake up, and they hurriedly talked about it.

Huizhu looked at the bloodshot hidden at the corner of Nian's mouth, and secretly said in her heart that it was not good! couldn't help but show anxiety, and commanded sharply: "What are you doing! Fu Nian Concubine entered the hospital, and the imperial doctor followed! ”
