Although it is now autumn, the weather is still very hot, so the gatherings of dignitaries and dignitaries are held in time for almost dusk.

Because of sweet things, I've been lazy these days, and Brother Seventeen's injury is not very good, so I've been living in seclusion for half a month. But today is not good, today is the first birthday of Prince Yong's fourth son, Hongli, so I can't shirk it.

Therefore, I had to come to Prince Yong's Mansion in this hot dusk, dressed neatly.

To be honest, I have always loved cheongsam in modern society, and I think it is one of the most artistic designs in ancient China, especially the improved cheongsam. The perfect curves, the noble outfit, the artistic piping and the quaint and repetitive patterns, all fascinate me.

But now, I am wearing the robe of the Qing Dynasty, which stipulates that women wear three inside and three outside, and in such a hot weather, I am not allowed to unbutton even the top button---- fortunately I am not a subordinate, and I don't need to move, even so, I am almost overwhelmed by the high erected neckline.

"What's the matter, sister, are you sad?" My sister saw me sitting there looking around, hurriedly put down the child, and came to see me.

It's over, my sister probably saw that today's guests congratulated her, and misunderstood that I was touching the scene, so she was uncomfortable.

"No, it's just a little hot." I wiped the sweat from my forehead with Xiupa---- After so many years of opening the Qing Dynasty, I am still not used to the summer without air conditioning. It's fine in your own home. Seventeen mornings are not strange for me to wander around the room only in single clothes, and when I go out, there should be no lack of physical system--- I suspect that if I die young in the Qing Dynasty, it will be because of heat stroke.

"Earlier, I'll have someone fan you." My sister was busy asking the maid to fan me.

I swept the breeze with my eyes that couldn't even be fanned away by mosquitoes, and sighed in my heart, but I didn't dare to write depression on my face anymore. I had to smile at my sister reluctantly: "Great, it's finally better." ”

Looking back at the seats of the guests, there are clear barriers!

The crown prince has been imprisoned, and the fourth elder brother is the master. The third elder brother has lost his position and is accompanied by him from afar. As soon as the eighth elder brother came, he called his friends and invited him, and sat very conspicuously on the right hand side of the fourth elder brother, surrounded by the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and my husband the seventeenth elder brother......

The thirteenth elder brother was sitting on the left side of the fourth elder brother, chatting with his fourth brother. followed by fifteen and sixteen little brothers......

The fourteenth is not there, and the fifth never participates in the battle between the princes and sons, and sits on the opposite side......

On the other hand, the female dependents seem to have been influenced by their own men, sitting in the Chu River Han Realm, which is clear at a glance---- although Bafujin has been very unsatisfactory in recent years because of Fu Yaohong, she has a good face, and she is still strong, and even speaks louder than others. Jiufujin is cowardly. Wei Weinuo followed her, and on her other side was the equally arrogant and domineering Mongolian princess Shifujin Borzigit.

Here, the four Fujin and the thirteenth Fujin are intimate, and a few side Fujin are also around and laughing.

"It's almost time." My sister got up, grabbed me, and wanted to take me with her.

"Hmm." I also got up, and Lord Chenxi, who had been standing behind me, responded and walked with me towards the banquet.

It's just that halfway through the road, I suddenly froze---- which side should I sit?

Reasoning. My sister is the fourth elder brother's person, and she will definitely sit on the side of Sifujin. And she took me, and I followed her, and I would do that side as well.

But. What's worse is that the seventeenth elder brother is talking and laughing with the eighth elder brother on the other side at the moment, the husband and wife are of the same heart, if I sit on the other side, what will others think?

"Come, you be by my side, and our sisters will have a good time today." When my sister saw that I was standing, she immediately turned around and grabbed my body---- I finally understood. She did it on purpose. Now that the two factions are on fire, I have to make a choice. She asked me to face up to the fact that the seventeenth elder brother is a pro-eighth master, and then make my own statement.

I looked like Brother Seventeen, and he also looked at me, smiled, and nodded as if to signal me to come.

I looked at the hateful face of Ba Fu Jin next to him, to be honest, with my bad relationship with Ba Fu Jin, I will not die, but I looked at the expectant eyes of the seventeenth elder brother---- and I was under the impression that he was thinking of me and trying to lean towards me, and I never tried to get close to him.

And now, he just wants me to be by his side, as a wife, it should be my responsibility to advance and retreat with my husband, do I really want to disappoint him for the sake of my own politics and future?

"I ......" I broke free of my sister's hand without a trace, and tried to walk towards Seventeen, but was pulled back by my sister with a cuff in the next step.

"Qiyun!" There was disappointment in my sister's eyes, and I knew it was emotional disappointment in me---- as smart as my sister, and of course I knew that I couldn't be the kind of person who married and obeyed my husband. And as smart as us, we all know that the eighth elder brother is sharp, and he will decline, and she is disappointed because I still want to do it even though I know that it is inappropriate.

"Sister!" I also know, but the seventeenth elder brother and the eighth elder brother have been getting closer and closer in the past few years, but I can't stop it at all, the seventeenth elder brother loves me very much, but he is a prince after all, and his scheming is actually not lost to me at all, he doesn't say anything about things outside, and I don't want to interfere---- I owe him a lot, he has the same political views as the eighth elder brother, he wants to do what he wants to do, I don't want to even deprive this dream.

I can't explain to him that I have studied history, and there will be no good results if I follow the eighth elder brother---- he won't believe it, and I can't be so stupid......

"He's my husband...... "If I'm going to hell, Brother Seventeen will definitely go headlong regardless of it, he can, so can I."

"He can't go back, if you don't make amends. Do you want to see him follow them......" my sister reminded me quietly.

Yes, once the eighth elder brother falls, who can save the seventeenth elder brother from the disaster? Once Yongzheng ascends the throne, who will intercede for him, and who will protect him from death?

"Sister, let's go." Holding my sister with my backhand, I walked extremely heavy with every step---- God gave everyone the opportunity to choose again and again. But it gives us a reason not to choose again and again. The final result can only be laughter from the sky, and we look up to the sky and sigh!

"Fujin!" Seeing that I was about to walk towards Sifujin, he had been standing behind me and was silent all afternoon, when Chenxi suddenly shouted to me.

I grabbed my sister, ignored her protests, and continued walking that way.

"Sister, sister!" Chenxi wanted to step forward and grab me, but I threw her away, and she couldn't take care of the preparation in a hurry: "Qi."

I stopped. Slowly turning to look at her---- she was dressed in a plain robe, and even on this big day, she was only wearing a blue ground gown. She is very measured and guards the duty of a cardinal blessing. It's just that her love for the seventeenth elder brother made her desperate to lose her dignity on such a big day, and she dared to call my name in public.

Chenxi squeezed her eyes at me anxiously, and motioned for me to look in the direction of Seventeen Elder Brother---- I knew that Seventeen Elder Brother would be very sad and disappointed to see that I didn't respond, so I decided that I hadn't looked there since then---- I was afraid that with just one glance, I couldn't help but change my mind, and I didn't want myself to regret it in the future. For our future, for eternity. We have to do this, we have to do this.

"You are so bold, don't think that the emperor gave you to the seventeenth elder brother, you can be so lawless, you dare to call the name of the seventeenth Fujin!" Seeing my embarrassment, my sister immediately stepped forward: "Sister, he is usually so presumptuous in your mansion, is he so lawless?" My sister is young and ignorant of things to tolerate you, but I can't tolerate you. I'm going to teach you what rules are today! ”

"Qiyun ......" Dawn did not look at my sister, but only at me, her eyes full of pleading---- this woman who single-handedly destroyed my happiness and plunged me into endless pain. How can I live a happy day? The triangular puzzle cannot be solved in ancient and modern times......

"Presumptuous, don't let me get out of the way, don't be embarrassed here." Give her to my sister, and my sister will definitely take the opportunity to avenge me and make her suffer---- and she has no malice this time, she is just for Seventeen, just for Seventeen.

Thereupon. This time I did my sister's side. He looked at the seventeenth elder brother across the table and watched Chenxi sit meekly beside him. Looking at his expression of joy and anger---- he is older, and finally knows that he can hide his unhappiness and whitewash the peace. Like me, we look at each other casually, still talking and laughing, acting on the scene--- in and out of the play, we don't just look at each other's eyes.

Only the morning light, sadly like a cloud of smoke, shrouded around the seventeenth elder brother......

"Come on, come on, let Sibeizi catch Zhou." My sister didn't want me to sit there like this anymore, so she hurriedly beckoned the nurse to get busy.

"I'll pick him up and grab him." After all, my sister is still happy today, because the Queen Mother has just summoned her and rewarded her with a lot of things. Now although Nian Qiuyue has finally entered the mansion, her sister's status is already stable, and now even Sifujin has to let her score three points, not to mention other concubines.

"No need, you still have to greet guests after a busy day, so let's rest." My sister was rolling up her sleeves, but she was coldly stopped by the fourth elder brother: "Qiyun, you help your sister." ”

...... "I'll look at my sister, and then look at the fourth elder brother---- God, which play is he singing?"

Earn back ownership of my child?

Thanks, no more, I still want to live a few more years!

"Qiyun, the master told you to go! Not yet! My sister's face turned pale for only a moment, and then she returned to her normal color---- she was really born destined to be a mother in the world, and such a big change can still whitewash the peace. If it weren't for the fact that the fourth elder brother had already known about this, if he was just suspicious, then seeing his sister's performance like this, I believe he would also be puzzled, right?

"Oh." I was stunned and hugged this future Qianlong Emperor, the current bare-ass child, and slowly came to the prepared offering table, which was already full of things according to ancient customs---- this child and I have no blood relationship, if there is, it is that I promised his mother to take care of him for the rest of my life.

But now, due to all kinds of conspiracies and coincidences, our relationship is indescribably ridiculous. In the eyes of his biological father and adoptive mother, I became his biological mother, although I have only stayed with him at the moment of his birth.

"Come on, Sibeizi, grab a pen and come here, our fourth brother loves to read the most." Sifujin also stepped forward and coaxed with food.

I saw that the white and tender little kid was actually coaxed by Sifujin to turn around, and finally expressed that he was not interested in everything on the table, and finally crawled in my direction.

"Uh...... Mother's ......" milky voice, but everyone present heard it clearly, Xiao Hongli actually grabbed the corner of my clothes in an instant, and then refused to let go.

I can't see my sister's face, because my vision has been blocked by Sifujin, but my current face can really be described as a dead person----

How can it be?

This lie is nothing more than a hoax I have carefully concocted, a last resort decision in order to keep my sister's position and fulfill the promise of many friends.

Just, how could this child react this way?

If blood is thicker than water, then it's also a stupid big sister? Is this the providence of the underworld?

"Fourth elder brother?" I looked at Brother Jiu, who was the only one who could be indifferent to this scene and could still sit in his seat with an expression on his face: "It turns out that Hongli can already speak!" Hehe, Hongli, you little thing, I'm not your mother, your mother is there! "I tried to smile naturally, to make everyone think that it was just an accident, that it was normal.

I wanted to grab the corner of my clothes that was grabbed by Hongli, but this little guy seemed to be against me today, and he grabbed it very tightly, and I didn't dare to break it, so I had to stand there in embarrassment, like the fourth elder brother asking for help.

"He won't." Unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother not only saw death and did not save him, but also fell into the ground: "He never spoke before today." ”

"......" I can't see my sister's expression, but Sifujin began to have a suspicious look in my eyes, I remember not knowing what to say, I can only coax Hongli blankly, I want him to end his whimsical willfulness as soon as possible.

"It seems that he really likes you, and you will hold him for a while." The fourth elder brother made a decision on his own.

"But ----" In Manchurian customs, isn't this something that only biological mothers can do?

I forgot a little when I said but, this point, in the eyes of the fourth elder brother, I am.

"No guts, unless you can convince Hongli." The fourth elder brother interrupted me, and I had a feeling for a moment---- as if there was a joke in the corner of his eyes.

He did it on purpose---- deliberately taught Hongli to call me Eniang, and deliberately trained Hongli to grab the corners of my clothes, he was reminding me that the relationship between the two of us was extraordinary.

Perhaps, he is also reminding his sister that he knows everything......
