On the second day, the matter of Hong's father's sacrifice was spread all over the palace, and Hongshi was scolded by Yinzhen's staff and Li's mistakenly hit the muzzle, and it was also spread in the palace.

In the early morning of this day, Huizhu went to Chuxiu Palace to ask for peace before dressing up, and the more cautious and respectful the palace people along the way, the more cautious and respectful they were. When she arrived at the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, the palace concubines were more friendly than before, which made her aware that the satisfied and enthusiastic attitude of the Ulanala clan had faintly imprinted on her heart, making her realize that she would have to face the ensuing rights and wrongs in the future. Whether it is Yinzhen's attention to Hongli, or Yinzhen's honor and favor for her in recent days, she can no longer tolerate her not being deeply involved, and now she can only become a choice for the middleman.

After good morning, Huizhu beat the other palace concubines who came to talk, and still returned to Jingren Palace in the company of Geng and An as usual. After chatting for more than half, to the pondside of a few people, Hui Zhu suddenly stopped, ignored the surprise of the two, and said to herself: "Concubine Geng, you go back to Chengqian Palace first, this palace wants to find An Guiren to discuss Suzhou embroidery." ”

Geng's eyes flashed with surprise, but she had always known the way to survive in the harem, so she didn't say much, and saluted Huizhu according to her words and said goodbye.

An Shi's heart suddenly rose uneasy, but he couldn't see anything unusual on Huizhu's face, so he had to suppress his doubts and talk about the techniques of Suzhou embroidery.

After not traveling for a long time, he has returned to Jingren Palace.

When the palace people ate and refreshments, Huizhu waved her hand back and left, picked up a celadon bowl and played with it in her hand, silently dried An's aside, and used the tortoiseshell armor worn by the little finger and ring finger of her left hand on the teacup surface, along the fine pattern of gentle scraping; In the slightly quiet room, there was a sound of "Ding Lingdang".

An's heart is like a cat scratching, as time passes bit by bit, her heart is more and more bottomless, and after half a cup of tea, she finally can't bear it, and softly called "Niangniang", seeing Huizhu stop the movement in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and said cautiously: "Didn't you want to ask about Su Xiu?" How to ......" to the halfway point, in self-evident.

Huizhu saw that it was almost time, and with a "du" sound, she put the tea cup on the high table on the side, and the tea splashed in an instant. Huizhu suddenly seemed to have not seen it, and raised her voice and called: "Xiao Ranzi, go and bring the Jinpa that the palace brought back yesterday." ”

When An heard this, Ming Mu suddenly passed a trace of panic, and then forced to calm down, bit his teeth, raised his eyes to look at Huizhu, and said with a smile: "The brocade Pa that Niangniang asked Ran's father-in-law to take is also Suzhou embroidery, and it just so happens that the concubine can also observe and observe." ”

Huizhu secretly praised "Good bearing, not chaotic in the face of danger!" But a light smile appeared on his face, and he looked at An Shi and said: "An Guiren will know when you see it, presumably this is something that you are very familiar with." ”

Ann repeated with a puzzled face: "Something familiar? Then he smiled and said: "Since it is the mother's eye-catching, it is also an extraordinary product to think about, and the concubine must take a good look at it." Huizhu smiled and said nothing, but she muttered in her heart, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have misunderstood.

Before long, Xiao Ranzi entered the house with a gold-lacquered wood carved eight-treasure box with a bird-patterned pattern, then took a step back and stood beside him.

An's looked at the small box on the high table with a little curiosity and a little nervousness, only to see Huizhu slowly uncover the lid of the box, take out a white and transparent silk handkerchief from it, and unfold it in his hand with a slight tremble, and the colorful peach embroidery appeared in his eyes, and the floating dark incense exuded a bewildering fragrance.

An's face turned pale, and his plump Dan lips trembled slightly, and he barely squeezed out a smile after a long time: "Niangniang, this is..." Huizhu sighed, pretending not to know and asked, "Don't you know An Guiren?" The main palace also thought that it was from the hand of An Guiren、"

An's beautiful cheeks turned a little whiter, but he defended himself: "The embroidery method above is indeed good Su embroidery, and the concubine has never embroidered such a gorgeous thing, it seems that the mother has made a mistake." ”

Huizhu didn't answer, put the brocade in his hand into the box, and glanced at Xiao Ranzi, until Xiao Ranzi picked up the box and walked towards An's, Fang's eyes lit up, looked directly at An's calm Furong cheek, and said slowly: "Oh, did you see it wrong? An Guiren has to take a closer look, this is the thing that the emperor handed over to the palace last afternoon, saying that it was An Guiren's brocade shot, so that the palace took a break to return to An Guiren,"

Hearing this, An's shoulders trembled violently, and even the bead ring jade hairpin with his head shook non-stop, as if he had been hit by a huge blow, the whole person was shaking, and for a while, Fang Yi grabbed the armrest of the chair, stabilized his body and mind, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the emperor said so to Niangniang, how could it be..."

Huizhu saw An's appearance like this, and couldn't bear it after all, and was about to say a few words slowly, but she couldn't see that in a blink of an eye, An's had returned to normal, and raised a faint smile that floated without roots and said: "It's the concubine who saw it wrong, but this brocade is owned by the concubine." After finishing speaking, An Shi shook his body slightly, stood up with the armrest, tried a lot of strength and looked directly at Huizhu and said: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the emperor was so disdainful of the concubine's things, so the concubine didn't want to admit it, and hoped that the mother would not blame her." As he spoke, he fell to his knees, tears rolling down his cheeks.

is so sad that no one wants to do it, a sad face trapped by love, and a lot of aggrieved words.

Huizhu secretly said "Okay" three times, and the faint unbearability in her heart was also consumed by An's tearful words. Recalling the scene of An's in the Heart Cultivation Hall yesterday, Huizhu sneered, she was really calm!

An raised his eyes with teary eyes, but just caught a glimpse of the sneer on the corner of Huizhu's mouth, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said with self-pity: "For many years, everyone said that the concubine was favored by the emperor, but who knew that the concubine was just a ...... to the emperor."

"An Guiren!" Huizhu interrupted sharply; "I don't want to know about you and the emperor. When you saved Baolian, this palace remembers your kindness and will repay your kindness. Next year, the emperor will move into the Old Summer Palace for a long time, and among the palace concubines who will accompany him, there will be you and nobles. Well, the palace is also lacking, and Xiao Ranzi sent An Guiren for the palace. ”

Hearing this, An Shi didn't seem to care about the matter of serving the Old Summer Palace, but he no longer continued to pester Huizhu's indifferent attitude, but gave Huizhu a respectful salute and said: "Niangniang, in the past few years, the concubine has always remembered Niangniang's goodness, and she will never forget it. With that, he turned around and walked out of Jingren Palace with Xiao Ranzi.

Looking at the An family who left, Huizhu didn't know whether it was good or bad to pick out with An Shi like this, but in the increasingly complicated palace, she didn't like and didn't have the ability to keep suspicious people by her side, and there were still many things waiting for her in the future, such as things with Yinzhen, such as his expectations for life. There are also Hongli Baolian brothers and sisters, as well as the safety of a large family in Niu Co Lu Mansion.

As soon as Huizhu thought of Yinzhen, she couldn't help rubbing her forehead with a headache, and sighed in her heart, the deeper she touched Yinzhen, the stronger the sense of inability to follow, but today, she wanted to withdraw again, but Zuo Xi secretly played this section of the harem, and she couldn't be allowed to be okay alone!

Huizhu shook her head, put aside the image in her mind, the regime was about to summon Su Xin, got up and went back to the inner hall, and saw Xiao Ranzi come back and replied: Master, An Guiren remembered the scriptures and left, but Concubine Qi asked to see the master, saying that she had received the emperor's intention and confessed to the master.: Hearing this, Huizhu was extremely surprised, and according to the arrogant appearance of the Li family from many places, she would never apologize to others: after pondering in her heart, she was a little curious about the real intention of the Li family, so she returned to the seat and sat down, and announced the Li family's entry into the palace.

The Li family left the palace attendants to stand outside, and entered the main hall of Jingren Palace alone, and saw Huizhu sitting lazily on the luxurious seat, like a powerful favorite concubine, and the steps forward couldn't help but freeze, and the glamorous Danfeng eyes were deeply stung by the scene in front of him, and it was difficult to return to his senses for a long time

Huizhu wondered in her heart, wondering if the Li family came to stay at her? Then he said: Qi woman, you came to Jingren Palace to ask to see the palace, what is the matter?

Li Shi was shocked, looking at Huizhu who was a few steps away, and his eyes quickly flashed with deep resentment, that is, he was jealous of all kinds of emotions. He bowed to Huizhu and saw the gift of the concubine, and Fang expressed his intention and said: The concubine of the palace came this time to apologize to Concubine Xi when she came to apologize to Concubine Xi when she came to do so. Hongshi he wants to lie down for a month to recuperate, and he also hopes that Concubine Xi will recruit noble hands and put Hongshi.

What do you mean? How did she not let go of Hongshi, and the Li family actually came to her to make a big fuss!

Huizhu changed her lazy attitude, and looked at Li Shi Dao, Qi woman, what do you mean by this? The third elder brother was blamed but it was the emperor's holy will, don't you forget, yesterday was the queen and the palace for the third elder brother's begging. Li Shi remembered yesterday's incident, and his eyes were even reddened with anger, but for the sake of Hongshi, he had to swallow his anger and say, since Concubine Xi said so, I think you don't blame Hongshi, then the concubine hopes that you will not fan the flames in front of the emperor again, so that the emperor will be exempted from Hongshi's errand. ”

Hiroshi was exempted from an errand? Huizhu looked at Li in surprise, but saw Li looking at her with a wary face, and was amused, when did the high-spirited Li become so unreasonable, how could there be

The shrewdness of the year, it seems that years of frustration, coupled with the means of the Ulanara clan to secretly make a stumbling block, the momentum of the Li clan has long become a sign of decline.

After a turn of thought, Hui Zhucai didn't care about the offense in Li's words, and directly stood up and bypassed Li's side, and when he arrived at the curtain of the inner hall, Fang Ting took a step and said, "Concubine Qi, the matter of the third elder brother."

, Hongu will not interfere. After speaking, the curtain was lifted, and he entered the inner hall without looking back.

After dealing with the Li family and the An family for a day, there is no need for her to worry about the following days. Half a month passed, Hongli successfully returned to the palace on behalf of his father, which made Hongli's prestige in

The court has improved a lot, and it has also won the stability of Huizhu's status in the harem.

In this way, in a rising trend, Huizhu's mother and son have gone through the first year of Yongzheng.
