Zhiqiu said solemnly: "Madam Mingjian, the slave maid does not mean to comfort me with false words, I think I have been in this palace for many years, and I have seen countless things about the hearts of the people, and I have seen countless things about the harem corners, and I still know the truth and falsehood of that person's heart." Forgive the slave and the maid for daring to say something that I don't know the severity, the emperor treats Concubine Zhang Niangniang is the emperor's love for the concubine, and it is a sincere love, but the emperor treats the lady as a beloved woman. In the future, the lady will taste it herself, so the slave begs the lady not to be presumptuous and worrying in vain. ”

Then like a loving mother, she looked at me with pity in her eyes and said: "Although I and the emperor are the main servants, but when I was most sad and lonely that day, it was the infant emperor who comforted my scarred heart, so to say a word that I don't know the height of the sky, I have long regarded the emperor as my own father and son in my heart, and I only hope that he can be safe, healthy and everything goes well." When he lost Concubine Zhang, he was sad and lonely, so I prayed to the heavens from time to time to let him meet a talented and good-looking confidant. I don't want to see mercy from God, so the slave is sincerely grateful to you, grateful to you for treating the emperor affectionately and sincerely, and making him truly happy. It's just that these days by your side, when I see that you are always empty, my face is desolate, I think there is something wrong with my heart, and I dare to speak out today regardless of my identity, and I ask my mother to think twice and forgive my sins. As he spoke, he bent his knees and knelt down before me.

I hurriedly supported her, my voice was also a little choked, and said: "Mother Qiu, thank you, thank you for your words today, in the past, Rui'er was ignorant and ignorant, so she suspected that the emperor had a dark ghost and caused the emperor to work hard for me. Please also ask Mother Qiu to treat me as a daughter-in-law, and protect the emperor with me, so that he can be safe and happy. As he spoke, he took Zhiqiu's hand and made a family ceremony.

"Madam, I can't help it, you have tormented the slave like this." Zhiqiu burst into tears, grabbed me and said, "Mrs. De will not give up if she does not sin, and the slave will do her best to protect Mrs. from now on." I clasped hands with her, and the feeling of helplessness in my heart disappeared with Zhiqiu's words, I believe that I am no longer alone, this Shu Palace is my home, Baoyuan, Ming'er, and Qiu's mother are the most amiable and credible family.

Zhiqiu wiped away his tears, helped me sit down, and said with a smile: "Everything is really going well now, the emperor is happy with his wife, and the dragon body is even more vigorous, I just hope that Mrs. will add a little prince to the emperor as soon as possible." ”

When I heard this, my face was red, and I said shyly: "Mother Qiu, Rui'er is still young, and she can't ask for an heir. ”

"What Madame said is very true, but now there are only two princes and one princess in the palace, which still seems to be a little thin for the royal family, but if Mrs. adds a few more princes and princesses to the emperor in the future, it will be excellent for the country and the family." Saying that, he looked at me with an unusually gentle look in his eyes and said: "The emperor likes children very much, in the first year of Guangzheng, Concubine Zhang died, and the emperor was very sad, and then the sadness was slightly better because of the birth of Princess Fengyi......" Zhiqiu Xu said, I listened with a smile.

"Mother Qiu, Han Zhaorong seems to be very trusted by the Queen Mother and the Emperor? and Su Chongyi is also quite popular with the Queen Mother, I don't know what their family background is? ”

"Mrs. Hui, Zhaorong Niangniang Han Jingyi is the cousin of Han Baozhen, the deputy privy envoy. Mingde entered the palace in four years, and Guangzheng gave birth to Princess Fengyi in the first year, and was crowned with three products. The Queen Mother saw that she was stable and had a delicate temperament, so she handed over the childish son Xuan Zhe left by Concubine Zhang Niangniang to be raised by her, and allowed her to assist in the Six Palaces, and now she is the most powerful person in this palace except for the Queen Mother. I nodded, I usually see that this Han Jingyi is gentle and humble, and the palace people are also very kind, and they should be good people, but Li Yanniang provoked her to be afraid that she would have a dislike for me, and when there is a chance in the future, I must find a way to resolve it.

Zhiqiu said again: "Chongyi Su Jinyan is the granddaughter of Zhang Gongduo who made the Ningjiang military festival, Guangzheng entered the palace in three years, because Zhang Gongduo was an important minister during the reign of the first emperor, in order to show grace, he entered the palace and sealed the four products of Chongyi, but although this Chongyi Niangniang was born in Jiangmen and full of economy, it should be very close to the emperor, but she is high by nature and does not like to invite pets, so although the position in the palace is high, but not very favored, the emperor treats her politely on weekdays, and because she has a lot of research on Buddhist scriptures, the queen mother likes it very much, So she served more by the side of the Queen Mother. ”

Zhiqiu paused after speaking, and said, "As for that Li Xiuyuan, she has no background. The emperor watched the lanterns on the terrace on the first month of the spring of the third year of Guangzheng, and the court officials presented a dance to advocate Li Yanniang, Li Yanniang danced outstandingly, and gave his family money of 100,000 yuan, so he was included in the harem. This person is not from a high background, his morality is too poor, and he is not liked by the Queen Mother, but she is interested in inviting favor with her appearance, so the emperor treats her well. As for Liu Huilan, the mother of Anchen, she is just the daughter of the county Cheng, she entered the palace with her talent at the beginning, but she was not liked by the emperor because of her reckless temperament, and she had nothing to do, so she was still only a six-grade An Chen after entering the palace. ”

After listening carefully to what Zhiqiu said, I also had a general understanding of the women around Baoyuan, because Ming'er said that the sun was not good for too long, so she let her help her slowly walk along the willow bank by the Longyue Pond.
