On the first day of the first lunar month, just after the ugly hour (three o'clock in the morning), Huizhu's mother and daughter were woken up by the sound of firecrackers. According to the customs of the Qing Palace, the concubines above the concubine should get up at this hour to wash, wear auspicious clothes, and follow the emperor to the front of the god card of the Yangxin Palace, in front of the heaven and earth, under the leadership of the queen, and pay tribute to the incense. Yin Zhen had just ascended the throne, and he had not been crowned a concubine for a long time, so according to the original identity of the house, the Li family, the Nian family, and Huizhu all had to go in heavy auspicious blessings.

On the road, the sound of firecrackers did not stop, Rao is Huizhu was also awake in the sleepy tun, and when he arrived at Chuxiu Palace, he saw that Geng's spring breeze was also coming, and he looked at it in surprise, and listened to Geng's salute: "Fujin promotes, let the concubines come together, and it is good to be decent for Hongtian." Huizhu smiled back and walked with Geng.

I don't know how long it has been, Huizhu only feels as if most of the Forbidden City has been walked, from the Tianyi Gate in the Imperial Garden, the Qin'an Palace, the Qianqiu Pavilion, and the Fighting Altar. The Heavenly Dome Treasure Hall on the east side of the East Sixth Palace, the Miao Lotus Room in the Garden of Jianfu Palace. Ninghui Hall, Guangsheng Building, in front of the east courtyard of the Qianqing Palace, in front of the medicine king...... In front of the previous emperor's and queen's appearance or god card. In front of the Buddha statue, in front of the Buddha in Rakujudo. God opens the door outside the west of the high hall, Jingshan Inner Shouhuang Palace, the former generation of the emperor and the queen of the imperial shadow in front of the incense.

I didn't twist until the morning was almost over. I made incense and went to the palace banquet again. Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and staggered back to Jingren Palace by Xiao Ranzi. Su Xin took off the bottom of the flower pot for Huizhu in distress, kneaded Huizhu's feet to dredge her muscles and bones, and said happily: "The master followed the emperor and Fujin to pay homage to the incense, the position of this concubine is already a matter of ironclad, that is, there is a second master...... It's a happy event anyway. ”

Huizhu took a sip of the flower tea that Xiaojuan's brother came, exhaled comfortably, opened her eyes and looked at the billowing white smoke rising from the teacup, remembering the fatigue of Li's, Nian's and others when they were making incense, but with a smug look, she also understood Suxin's joyful color. But he still couldn't stop sighing: "If there is really no free lunch in the world, how much honor and favor you enjoy, how much you have to pay." The palace people on the side pursed their lips and chuckled for a while, and then fetched hot water and waited for Huizhu to freshen up and rest.

Lying in the mattress of the fragrant quilt, Huizhu remembered that after the incense, Yinzhen went to the open window of the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace in the sound of firecrackers, and couldn't help but feel apprehensive, I don't know what will happen to Junxian after starting the office......

On the second day of the first day of the first lunar month, at eight o'clock in the morning, Hongli came to Jingren Palace to ask for peace, taking advantage of the fact that there was only Su Xin around. Xiao Ranzi comforted: "Don't worry, E-niang, although it is said that it is early today, it is estimated that it will take some time for the second uncle's affairs to be touched, and it will be after the Lantern Festival at the earliest." Huizhu looked at Hongli in front of her, who could relieve her worries like an adult, and felt very relieved, and felt a little that time passed quickly, so she was speechless for a while, only touched Hongli's head, and took Hongli brothers and sisters to Yongge Palace to ask for peace.

In the Yonghe Palace, it was deserted, without the joy of the New Year's Festival, Huizhu's footsteps were slightly tuned, and he entered the main hall again. Concubine De in the palace was wearing a dark blue palace concubine robe, lying on the kang with her back, ignoring the Wulanala clan and others standing under the kang, and only occasionally turned her head to see if Yinzhen and his wife were here.

Huizhu saw that the scene was embarrassing, and regardless of whether her face was dull or not, she saluted the back of Concubine De and asked for an big salute, and then went to the Wulanala clan, and as soon as she stood still, she felt a sharp gaze cast, Huizhu followed the line of sight, and saw that Bafujin was smiling at her, and she felt unhappy in her heart, her back straightened, her chin was slightly raised, and she nodded lightly to Bafujin, and looked away.

The Ulanala clan saw the small movements of Huizhu and Ba Fu Jin in his eyes, and couldn't help but deepen his smile, and glanced at Li Shi, who was in contact with Ba Fu Jin's eyes, and pulled Hui Zhu's hand sideways, patted it lightly, and said softly: "New joy in the first year, my sister will be able to make her wish come true." After that, he took the gargle cup from the hands of the palace maid who came in and served it to Concubine De.

Huizhu looked at the Wulanala clan who didn't care about Concubine De's jealousy and looked like a virtuous daughter-in-law, and she understood it, and she didn't realize that the corner of her eyes swept towards the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were full of complacency, and the uneasiness she had been thinking about in her heart was also a lot calmer.

After a while, Yinzhen and Wanyan's husband and wife were late, but Concubine De greeted them cordially without any blame, and pulled them to sit beside them, asking long and short questions, completely ignoring the daughters-in-law of the fourth son who were waiting on the side.

Hui Zhu'an stood aside, unable to lift his eyes, and knew that there was definitely a scene of mother and son filial piety in front of him, and it seemed that Concubine De was extremely partial to his young son. But does Concubine De, who has always been shrewd, know that the more ugly Yinzhen is everywhere, and the more she loves Yinzhen, it will speed up the pace of Yinzhen's murder.

Huizhu quietly covered her thoughts, turning a blind eye to the scene in front of her, hearing and not listening, after all, the affairs of Concubine De, Yinzhen, and Yinzhen's mother and son are not related to her, and they are not something she can manage, she just needs to come to serve every day according to the rites, and then wait for the end of Junxian's matter, everything needs to wait.

The days passed day by day, and after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Junxian was accused of alcoholism and unfilial piety, and he still had no eyebrows and was still in temporary detention. In this way, Huizhu slowly calmed down in the initial uneasiness, and she had forgotten about the detention of her brother-in-law, and she was pointed out by the ministers of the court to play for power.

It's February, and after Huizhu went to the two palaces to ask for peace and came back, she stayed in the inner hall peacefully, curled up in the warm kang, put a new skin on her legs, half-drooped her eyelids, and Su Xin and Xiaojuan who were sitting on the lower footsteps, accompanied by Xiao Ranzi on the side and gossip about Huizhu. (This paragraph is played by Nini)

For a while, Xiao Ranzi was talking about an interesting anecdote in the palace, I don't know what I remembered, I rested my hands and feet, stared left and right a few times, and saw that there were no outsiders, so I snorted unevenly and said: "The tea cakes made by Gong Tea Garden are good, but the master has drunk more good tea, but it is only three or four taels of gold and jade full of halls (Pu'er), and the master is still rare?" This eyeless thing, send it to Yanxi Palace dryly, isn't it because the third elder brother may be ordained ......" Halfway through speaking, Xiao Ranzi was silent violently, and his face wrinkled unwillingly.

Huizhu lifted her eyelids, a slight heaviness flashed between her eyebrows, and her heart was instantly raised to her throat. Now the situation in the court can be said to be very good, but this is also relative to Hongshi's mother and son. Since the first month, there are a lot of excerpts on the table of Yinzhen to establish the prince, and there is no surprise, the ministers are not reluctant, even Yinzhen has to compromise as the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the matter of establishing the prince is imminent.

Hongshi is more than 20 years old, and his biological mother Nian is in a high position, and when Yinzhen has no sons-in-law and other heirs are young, he is the fixed trend. Now there are ministers who have played to Yinzhen that Hongshi is the crown prince, and there is reason and evidence in the excerpt, which makes it impossible to refute it, and Hongshi also faintly has the potential to seize the throne. In this way, in this palace, which has always been high and low, and sees the wind and rudder, it is not surprising that the palace people buy from the Li family.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a word outside, and Liangfu asked to see him. Huizhu's thoughts were interrupted, and she frowned, thinking that she was taking good fortune for her own use, but she rarely summoned him, and it was almost noon at this time, so she asked for something to see.

In her mind, Huizhu had already allowed Liangfu to meet in the inner hall.

Liangfu entered the inner hall with a happy face, and after saluting Huizhu, a pair of bony triangular eyes slipped around Su Xin and the other three, and the essence in his eyes flashed. Huizhu understood, sat up, and said lazily: "It's okay, you just say it in front of them." ”

Liangfu knew that these three people were Huizhu's henchmen, and he didn't take Qiao, so he said: "The apprentice of the slave who was on an errand in the imperial tea room of the Yangxin Palace said that the case of Niangniang's brother-in-law has come out. At the beginning, the first of the household servants on the table, the Taifu Temple has been strictly dealt with by the Lord Banzai, saying that they used their power for personal gain, and falsely accused Lord Niu Colu of alcoholism, and this morning these two were taken to wear black yarn on the spot. ”

Hearing this, Huizhu was overjoyed, and hurriedly leaned forward and asked, "That Junxian was released?" Liangfu said with a smile: "Long live the Lord has verified that on the day of Lord Niu Colu's event, he did not invite guests, but his family gathered together for dinner, and he drank water that day, so he is not guilty." However, it is a fact that Mrs. Niu Colu gave birth during the mourning, so Long Live Lord fined Lord Niu Colu for one year, and demoted one level to the fourth grade, and with his seniority in Guangzhou, he was transferred to Beijing and served as a deputy general under Lord Long Keduo. ”

Huizhu listened, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, the matter that had dragged on for nearly three months finally passed safely, not to mention, but also rose brightly and secretly, and at the same time Yinzhen also pointed out to everyone that he was towards her mother and son, which made her not happy with her eyebrows, these months of low eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, and the humility of the Li family everywhere has finally been rewarded.

After Huizhu was happy, she noticed that Liangfu was still on the side, and asked in a good mood, "But there is still something to say?" Liangfu nodded, but his face was embarrassed, and his eyes glanced at the three people standing on the side from time to time, but he didn't say a word. Huizhu thought for a while, waved her hand, and said, "Suxin, you can stand down and wait outside." The trio bowed and withdrew.

After Liangfu waited for the three of them to retreat, he smiled and said: "This matter is very important, the slave has to be cautious, and please don't blame the mother." Huizhu is not to blame. Huizhu smiled: "I know, you say yes." "Fortunes

Said: "Niangniang, the slave has two things to say. First, the Ministry of Rites has already prepared the golden booklet and other things that are divided, and the slave only wants to come, and soon the long-lived lord will divide the harem. But ......" said, peeping

With the look in his eyes, he said cautiously: "The slave got the news, there are two concubines in this dynasty, and there is one imperial concubine, all of whom are sent to serve eight palace maids, but this time the Ministry of Rites seems to be prepared."

A booklet of the concubine. ”

Huizhu knew in her heart that only she and Nian's side had sent eight palace maids to serve in the palace, and it was not that she and Nian's were both concubines, it was very likely....... especially after Junxian's incident, Nian's quilt

The one who was named a concubine should be greater than her.

Thinking like this in her heart, Huizhu let out an unconcerned "oh" on her face and asked, "What about the two things?" Liangfu saw that Huizhu's expression had not changed at all, even his eyes were faint and waveless, and he couldn't help it

As soon as his body tightened, Ren Yue replied respectfully: "If you go back to Niangniang, the two things are that when you were in the early court today, Long Live Lord promised that the crown prince will be established soon!" ”
