However, the emperor did not come to Yanxi Palace. Although there are always times when I meet in the daily court, the emperor only says a few words to her lightly, which is no different from that of other people. Although Ruyi was anxious, she didn't know why. summoned Li Yu several times to ask, Rao is as smart as Li Yu, and he can't say why. It is useless to know that Yi is in a hurry, so she has to barely survive. I just vaguely heard that the emperor had accepted a new palace maid as a promise, and he had already sealed the show and promised to live in the Jingyang Palace of Yi Guiren. Even so, Mei Chang is still favored, although the emperor has a newcomer, he can't get half of her favor. Such a thing, Ruyi listened to it in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. She is only nineteen years old, and when she is in the prime of life, others are "happy to be in the autumn waves", and she is "Do you know the jade pillow spring Hanlang?" (1) "I can only watch the emperor's favor, and thank you for the spring rest." The only comfort in ordinary days is Hailan, who often comes to be her companion, from morning to night, and does not get tired. Again, it's a pure concubine, although her favor is also weak, but she has an elder brother, and she can help Ruyi a little more openly and secretly.

When I saw the emperor again, it was already in May, and Ruyi clearly remembered that day it was raining lightly, the rain was green, and she could faintly smell the incense of the courtyard on the courtyard in the rain. Ruyi sighed, most of the "Spring Mountain Travel Map" in her hand was embroidered, and she was still confused in the mountains, but the spring was about to end.

It was Li Yu in front of the emperor who came to deliver the decree, and he hit Qian'er and said happily: "Pass the emperor's message, please go to the queen's palace as soon as possible." ”

Ruyi hurriedly got up and said: "At this time, I hurriedly passed to the palace, does Gonggong Li know what is going on?" ”

Li Yu hurriedly said: "The minions don't know either. It's just that the prince and the slave came out together, he went to Xianfu Palace, and passed the same message to Concubine Hui. Little master, hurry up, the sedan chair is already waiting outside. ”

Ruyi immediately changed her clothes and makeup, and when she went out, the rain hit her face, only to feel that the rain had no coolness, with the sweet fragrance of flowers and the warmth of the summer in the future.

When she arrived at Changchun Palace, Lianxin had already lifted the curtain and waited on the side, and when she saw Ruyi, she smiled and said: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is here, and the concubine Niangniang has just arrived." ”

Ruyi saw that Concubine Hui and the queen were accompanying the emperor on the left and right, as if they were talking and laughing, and they were extremely harmonious. Such a homely and lively scene, but she and the emperor have not seen each other for a long time, and she didn't feel that her eyes were hot, and she lowered her head and came in to see them one by one.

The emperor beckoned to her, asked her to sit down, and said, "Come here in such a hurry, it's not raining, right?" ”

Ruyi casually agreed. Concubine Hui smiled coquettishly: "Last time I saw a robe to cover the rain in the emperor's palace, the concubine liked it, and the emperor rewarded the concubine." ”

The emperor laughed and said, "It was obtained from outside, and it is said to be a folk shelter from the rain." It's still something that your father Gao Bin found, who knew that he was so biased that he didn't leave a single one for you. ”

Concubine Hui pursed her lips and said, "My father is the most eccentric, and he only has the emperor in his eyes, not his daughter." She was wearing a cherry-colored silver-threaded hosta jacket, with a thin pale pink pipa placket sprinkled with gold dots on her shoulders, which looked particularly delicate. The white jade tassel butterfly on the neckline shook like snow beads with her smile.

The emperor smiled and said, "Your father is partial to me, and I am partial to you." If you like it, take it, just the same, and don't wear it everywhere. ”

Concubine Hui thanked with a smile, glanced at Ruyi, and triumphantly took a fragrant plum and ate it.

The emperor said: "I am in such a hurry to call you to the queen's palace today, because I have something to discuss with you. ”

Everyone replied "yes", and the emperor said: "Today, I asked Yonghuang about his homework, and I saw that he was thinner, but he was also in good spirits when he changed into new clothes. Who knew that I ordered him to write a few words, but the kid was not very angry, only staring at the melons and fruits on my case absent-mindedly. ”

The queen was slightly stunned, and hurriedly got up and said, "Don't blame the emperor." Yonghuang is still young, and he is also distracted when he reads and writes, and the concubine will definitely let the master discipline and restrain him well, and there will be no such thing again. ”

The emperor took a slow sip of tea and said, "I think the same way, children are always young and playful. But when I saw him writing, he turned out his cuffs, and there was a wound on his arm. After asking again and again, I found out that Yonghuang knocked on the rockery when he was playing in the imperial garden today. His face sank, and he immediately said calmly, "But none of the dozens of people who served Yonghuang knew about it. ”

Concubine Hui said "ouch", and said: "The minions are too careless, even if they change Yonghuang's clothes, how can they not see the scars?" Either they were too careless, or the clothes weren't what they changed for Yonghuang at all. ”

After the concubine finished speaking, the queen glanced at her silently, but the concubine didn't notice it yet, and it all fell into Ruyi's eyes. Ruyi quietly took a piece of hibiscus cake and ate it slowly, only to see the emperor bowing his head and saying, "What the concubine said is good." Because I found that the new clothes on the outside of Yonghuang were temporarily put on, and the clothes inside were afraid that they had not been changed for three or four days, and the oil stains were blackened. ”

The queen's face was full of guilt and uneasiness: "It's all because the concubines are not good." It is said that Yonghuang is a child without his mother, and the concubine feels very sorry for him, and specially appoints some more people to take care of him. Who knows that there are many people, but it is not good. The emperor can rest assured, and wait for the concubines to go to the elder brother to punish those slaves in person to set an example. ”

The emperor said coldly: "Those minions will fall by themselves. It's not that you're careless, it's the people below who bullied Yonghuang is a motherless child. So after thinking about it, I still have to find a mother for Yonghuang who can take care of him. ”

The queen was stunned, and before she could react, Concubine Hui was already smiling: "Your Majesty, the concubine has no children under her knees, and she has been lonely for a long time." Please also ask the emperor to fulfill the concubine's desire for a child, and hand over Yonghuang to the concubine to raise. The concubine will definitely fulfill her responsibilities as a mother and take care of her wholeheartedly. ”

The emperor glanced at Ruyi and said slowly: "Can Concubine Xian have such a mind? ”

Ruyi thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "If the emperor is relieved, the concubines are very happy." ”

The queen said: "Since the concubine and the concubine both like Yonghuang, the emperor means ......" The queen smiled quietly, "In fact, the concubines have been born and raised, if the emperor is relieved......"

The Emperor sighed and said, "You all like children, I know this. But you have to have your children fall in love with you. I have already asked people to bring Yonghuang, who he is willing to choose as his adoptive mother, who has the blessing to have my eldest brother as his son, let Yonghuang decide for himself. ”

_______________ said that, someone brought Yonghuang in. Yonghuang is eight years old, and although he is taller than children of the same age, he looks thin and smart, and his complexion is a little yellow, and he always seems to have no energy. Ruyi saw that although he lowered his head, he had a clear understanding of the world that children of this age did not have.

The emperor beckoned gently, motioned for Yonghuang to approach, pointed to the concubines, and said to him lovingly: "Yonghuang, this is your imperial mother, Hui Niangniang and Xian Niangniang." You tell Huang Ama who do you like to be your mother? ”

Yonghuang looked at them one by one, and said for a moment: "Huang Ama, the son has a mother." The son's mother is Fucha Zhuying, the philosophical concubine of Huang Ama. ”

The emperor stroked his hair lovingly: "Good boy, your Eniang has gone, but no one can replace your Eniang, Huang Ama just wants to find someone to take good care of you and love you like your Eniang." ”

Yonghuang nodded sensibly, reached out and pressed his stomach, the concubine chuckled, and stretched out her hands to hug him: "Yonghuang, come, come to Hui Niangniang's side!" Let Hui Niangniang hug you. ”

Ruyi also smiled, took a piece of hibiscus crisp and said, "Good boy, let's eat something first and then go over." ”

Yonghuang looked left and right, suddenly smiled, took the hibiscus cake and threw herself into Ruyi's arms, just looking at her and not speaking.

Concubine Hui's expression darkened, as if she was infinitely lost, and she was a little lazy. The queen was kind and pleasant, and Zhan Yan smiled at Ruyi: "Congratulations to Concubine Xian, I am happy to have a noble son." ”

Ruyi took Yonghuang's hand, fed him hibiscus crisp, and hurriedly took water to prevent him from choking, Fang smiled: "If the emperor can rest assured that the child will be raised by his concubine, it will be a blessing for the concubine." ”

The emperor's gaze was as warm as Chunyang: "This kind of fate of mother and son was cultivated in the previous life, and since Yonghuang chose you, you will be his mother in the future." ”

Concubine Hui was still a little unconvinced: "Your Majesty, Yonghuang just likes that piece of hibiscus crisp before passing." This doesn't count, you let Yonghuang choose again, and the concubine also takes a piece of pastry in her hand. ”

The emperor's gaze was as soft as a gurgling spring water: "Okay." You're not in good shape, and you can't stand the naughtiness of children. What's more, you often have to accompany me, Concubine Xian is much more leisurely than you, and it is good for Yonghuang to be taken care of by Concubine Xian. ”

Ruyi had been wronged for the past two months, and when she heard the emperor's words, her heart moved, as if she understood something. She raised her head and met the emperor's gaze, unconsciously containing warm and clear pleasure.

Concubine Hui accompanied the emperor out of the gate of Changchun Palace, and when she saw the emperor's guard of honor leaving, she showed a depressed look and said stupidly: "I have begged the emperor so many times, and finally I see that it is going to be done, who wants to be cheaper!" ”

Mo Xin hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, little master. ”

Concubine Hui said angrily: "You said that the emperor ignored her for two months, why did you think of her today and call her here?" ”

Mo Xin took the concubine's hand and walked slowly: "Probably because of the high ranking and no children, only the little lord and the concubine, I originally wanted her to come to meet the situation, but I didn't expect the eldest brother's unblessed child ......" She said and subconsciously covered her mouth and looked around.

Concubine Hui pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "It's just an unlucky child." The position of this palace is much higher than that of Concubine Xian, and he has a lot more grace, he prefers to go to that cold nest, so let him go! ”

Mo Xin hurriedly smiled: "It's not! It's just a child who is not blessed to hinder his mother, and he killed his biological mother, so now he will go with Concubine Xian. What's the little master's urgency? You will give birth to a noble child, not even the queen's. ”

Hui Guifei put her hand on her still flat lower abdomen with infinite anticipation, showing a smile of expectation, and her pace became slower and slower.

The queen watched everyone disperse, and with a slight force in her hand, a pair of agate silk bracelets knocked on the red sandalwood table with a crisp cracking sound. Su Xin hurriedly smiled and took a bowl of bird's nest and handed it to the queen, and said softly: "Niangniang, this bird's nest calms the liver and regulates the qi, you can drink a little." ”

The queen took the bird's nest and stretched out her hand to pick it, but Su Xin hurriedly stopped and shouted: "Niangniang burned her hands carefully." ”

The queen sneered, took the bird's nest from Su Xin, and didn't care that the soup of the bird's nest was dripping on her hand, and said, "Go to Brother Brother's mouth and slap those people's mouths!" None of the things that this palace has explained have been done well, and it has cheapened others to provoke such an incident! ”

Su Xin hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, they didn't take care of the eldest brother, and the mother was also annoyed." It's just that don't hurt your body. The slave knew that those who took care of the eldest brother were not useless, but they didn't dare to be too anxious. No one thought that the eldest brother was in such good health and could survive the two colds. I was thinking ......"

The queen's eyes were slightly cold, as if she had frost that could not be dissolved: "It's too late!" ”

Su Xin's tone was low and ruthless: "It's in time." The people who served the eldest brother were laid off, but the important nurse and nurse were with him. ”

The corners of the queen's lips turned into a thin smile, like the sun shining on the ice: "So Su Xin, you should know what to do." ”

The queen got up and walked to the dormitory, only the swing of her skirt was like the clouds floating in the sky, and the rest of the glory was flickering.

Yonghuang followed Ruyi to Yanxi Palace, still a little timid. Ruyi only left her heart by her side, took a set of clean clothes for him to change into, and wiped her face and hands carefully, before she said with pity: "Yonghuang, you have arrived at Yanxi Palace, don't be afraid anymore." ”

Yonghuang nodded vigorously: "As long as I leave the Elder Brother Institute, I won't be afraid." ”

Ruyi motioned to take the white medicine powder from the shelf, and gently rubbed it on the wound for Yonghuang: "Does it hurt to rub on the rockery?" ”

Yonghuang shook his head: "It doesn't hurt." ”

Ruyi stroked his arm and blew softly: "Silly boy, how can it not hurt?" ”

Yonghuang showed a naughty smile: "I hit it myself, of course it doesn't hurt." And I don't say, who knows I have a bruise? He lowered his head a little sadly, "The grandmothers and nurses don't care about me." ”

Ruyi said softly: "It's because they don't care about you that you have to take care of yourself." Xian Niangniang also had no choice, so she asked Aunt Xinxin to think of such an idea for you. ”

Yonghuang nodded obediently: "I know what you said." If you hadn't asked my aunts to always bring me food, they would have given me so little to eat, and I would have been hungry every day. You're trying to save me, I know it all in my heart. ”

Ruyi hugged him, and she didn't feel a little sad tears: "Good boy, just because you understand, I feel more sorry for you." Other children are carefree every day at your age, but I can't bear to let you know this. ”

Yonghuang stretched out his little hand to wipe away her tears, and whispered: "Xian Niangniang, don't cry, don't cry." ”_____________________________________________________
