"The Guerjia clan has been silent for so many years, does the emperor really want to reuse it?" Concubine Hui asked Mingzhu rhetorically, and her heart tightened as she spoke, the emperor can be good to him now, isn't it also reused? What has she done that is enough to make no return, she knows best, if she can turn over, why should other innocent people of the Guerjia clan continue to pay the price for Aobai?

Mingzhu said: "The emperor has been in power for more than 40 years, and there are not many emperors in all dynasties for 40 years. ”

Concubine Hui unconsciously looked at Mingzhu, and her cousin was really old. Looking back at himself, he has already passed forty, no matter how the fine lines at the corners of his eyes and lips are covered up and maintained, he still sees his strengths and depths every day, and the years are in a hurry, but in fact, the emperor is also old.

"In a few years, the emperor will be fifty years old." Concubine Hui no longer had the impatience on her face, and sighed and sank her heart, "But these days he has been good to me, I unconsciously thought that I had returned to the past, and I wondered if I could really start all over again?" ”

Mingzhu said: "It's not a bad thing that Niangniang and the emperor are reconciled as before, but the minister is just worried that you have been blinded by this, delaying the future of the eldest brother, and even delaying yourself." ”

Concubine Hui suddenly became sharp-eyed, stared straight at Mingzhu and said, "If it weren't for my son's anger, I would have been abandoned by the emperor because of you, how could I delay his future for my own selfish desires?" ”

Mingzhu didn't care, and said indifferently: "Then please be careful, and see more carefully, whether the emperor's kindness to you is sincere or hidden in the needle." ”

"I made a note of it." Concubine Hui felt cold.

"Niangniang, the rise of the new forces will inevitably symbolize the demise of the old school." Mingzhu's face was full of righteousness, and he was a little tragic, and said heavily: "Lao Chen guesses that within a few years, Suo Etu or me, one person will fall." In order to cultivate a new force that is enough to support the government, the emperor will definitely pave the way for them to overcome obstacles and open up the mountain. ”

"What's the matter, the emperor didn't do anything to you before." Concubine Hui was terrified when she heard this.

"Before, the emperor was radical and impulsive, or wanted to test the water, this time and that, and one more time, the minister would not be able to talk to you like this." Mingzhu looked down on all this and told Concubine Hui, "No matter what, you must keep the eldest brother and keep Qingshan here." ”

Concubine Hui was already full of mixed feelings in her heart, and when she was separated from Mingzhu, she didn't speak all the way back to her room, but later she was reminded that this would inevitably make the emperor suspicious, so she eased her expression. The place here is so big, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be known by the emperor, although it doesn't matter if they know, they have always had contacts, but no matter what the future holds, Concubine Hui can only do her best in her industry, and no matter what circumstances she encounters after Mingzhu, she can still save a hope of life.

And the thing that makes her tremble in her heart when she thinks about it, this time she often sees the emperor talking with the princes of Yonghe Palace during this southern tour, and the expression revealed between the emperor's words makes her realize that the emperor is still haunted by the death of the sixth elder brother, and that inadvertent sorrow and hatred always touches the most cowardly place in her heart, what Concubine Hui did not say to Mingzhu today is that she is worried that the emperor will one day avenge the sixth elder brother.

This is also the reason why over the years, there have been thousands of ways to make Yonghe Palace disappear, but no one has dared to do it. Wu Yashi is here, although it is in the way, but if she is not there, no one else will want to exist.

And Mingzhu's prophecy soon came true, the holy car returned to Gusu, stationed in Suzhou Weaving Mansion, and went to the emperor's side with the nobleman that night, and then did not return to Concubine Tong for several days, and the little nobleman who had not been favored was finally blessed by the saint.

When the ladies gathered in the queen mother's room, the queen mother said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing to be favored with nobles, the water in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, how many officials are looking forward to sending the young and beautiful women in the family to the dragon couch?" If the emperor keeps secret nobles by his side, those people will have thoughts, and it is good to go with the nobles. Look at this posture, the emperor will not take the newcomer back, so that when you go back, you will not ask people to point fingers behind your back and say that you are useless, and the nobles are justified after all, young and beautiful, it should have been like this a long time ago. ”

The queen mother has such an attitude, and the people below dare to say anything, as for the princes who follow the family, they can't care about the emperor's affairs, on the contrary, those officials did not go through the door to the emperor, but the emperor was not too indifferent and ruthless, but successively pointed out two Han women to the eldest brother and the third elder brother, naturally this matter will not be too public, but most of the people who follow the driving line know that the king of Zhijun and the king of Chengjun will bring newcomers back to Beijing.

The third elder brother even joked with the fourth elder brother in private: "How can Huang Ama be biased, I should choose one for each of you." Although the beauty is good, but I brought it back to the capital, your sister-in-law is crazy, everyone has it, she can't blame me. ”

When the news of the nobles' favor was reported back to the capital, the holy car had already arrived in Jiangning first, and Yonghe Palace knew early in the morning that the emperor would be stationed everywhere on the return journey, Lan Qi pinched the days when he read the letter, and felt that Xuan Ye and the Queen Mother should be in Jiangning Weaving Mansion right now. As for being favored with nobles, she didn't make any waves in her heart, as if it was a natural thing. And the emperor did not stop through Jiangning when he went south, but now he arrived there on the way back, thinking that he would stay for a few days, and it was Cao Yin's territory, thinking of Cao Yin, he would naturally think of another person, and I don't know if she would go well this way.

For the Jue Chan family, Jiangning Weaving House is no stranger, although she is not favored, but she has followed the emperor to the north and south a lot of times, in the past the southern tour was stationed here, now it is just a change of people, and the person who has been changed is Cao Yin, who she is familiar with. After a few years of absence, the old man said goodbye, Jue Chan saw Cao Yin's current bearing, and thought that if Rong was still alive, he would be more glorious than him, and his heart hurt like cutting flesh and bones.

Concubine Tong didn't know those things, but when the noble person Juechan was really sick, Zhang Luo wanted Imperial Doctor Xuan to diagnose and treat her, but was stopped by the Juechan clan. If she makes a mistake here, it will inevitably evoke the emperor's memory of her and Nalan Rongruo's old relationship, the emperor can not care about it for more than ten years, or she can have murderous intent in a thought, her revenge has not yet been realized, how can she be planted here. didn't dare to mourn for her love anymore, cheered up and stayed by Concubine Tong's side, Concubine Tong saw that she was getting better, and naturally felt at ease.

But since she is in Jiangning, she can't look up and look down, Juechan follows Concubine Tong, it is impossible not to see the old man, no matter how she avoids it, she has to contact Cao Yin a few times, and what she dare not think, Cao Yin dared to do.

On that day, the emperor took the princes to inspect the Jiangning garrison, and because there were 800 miles in the middle of the way, Cao Yin rushed back to the palace to pick up and send it to the emperor, and after waiting for a while, Cao Yin asked his cronies to take the handle, and he hid himself to the residence of the noble man of Juechan, which was his home, and of course he knew how to do it so as not to be discovered.

Seeing Cao Yin at first glance, Juechan was stunned, and immediately worried that they would not be noticed and cause any misunderstanding when they met like this, but Cao Yin said confidently: "This is the minister's house, and your nobles can rest assured." ”

Jue Chan smiled bitterly: "No, when I first saw Lord Cao that day, I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, the years have passed, you are more and more like an important minister of the court, and the emperor is really kind to you." ”

Cao Yin said a few words humbly, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "Your nobles, you know, the Shen family was gone last year." ”

"You mean...... Shen Wan? Jue Chan's heart trembled slightly, the beautiful and proud young woman in the past, the woman who arrogantly pronounced that her feelings were worthless, was gone?

"After the minister arrived in Jiangning, he has always taken care of her, no matter what, she was Rong Ruo's woman, even if she has no name, she still gave birth to an heir for him. Chen and Rong Ruo brothers, it is not difficult to take care of a female dependent, she has been living a very peaceful life, she got sick in the first two years, and she has not been cured for a long time, and she has not survived the winter until last year, although it is hard, it can be regarded as peaceful. ”

Speaking of the old brothers, Cao Yin couldn't help but feel a little sad, and even said: "Now that the four seas are leveling and the country is prosperous, if Rong is still there, he will definitely do more." ”

Jue Chan said sadly: "But he is long gone." She walked slowly to the side, looking up at the boundless sky, as if she wanted to find his trace in the wisps of clouds, but all this was her fantasy, Cao Yin is now over forty years old and has become a grandfather, and his appearance and bearing have changed. And Rong Ruo in her heart stayed more than ten years ago, and she couldn't imagine what Rong Ruo would be like if she was still there.

Cao Yin couldn't stay for a long time, so he said some things directly, stood behind the noble man of Juezen and said: "I heard that the eighth elder brother is very filial to the nobleman, and the minister has some things, and he wants to discuss it with you." ”

Jue Chan Huo Ran turned to look at him and sneered: "Lord Cao even knows about the eighth elder brother's filial piety to me? ”

On that day, Cao Yin took 800 miles and hurried back to the school, as if no one knew what he did when he returned to the mansion, Concubine Tong was not in front of him to accompany the Queen Mother and several officials and wives to watch the play that day, no one knew what Cao Yin and Juezen nobles said in the depths of the garden, and the eighth elder brother who was far away in the capital would not know that his mother had already matched him and paved the way for the future.

And with the news that the holy car has embarked on the return journey into the capital, the elder brother's mansion of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother's mansion and the princess's mansion of the fifth princess have stepped up their preparations, and after the emperor returns to Luan, it is time to handle the marriage of the prince and princess.

It's just that the daughter hasn't learned her mother's good temperament, Wen Xian has never been at peace since her father left Beijing, and now she knows that they are coming back, and she has become more impatient. On that day, the aunt entered the palace to inform her mother about the construction of the princess's mansion, and she pestered the aunt to see her future home.
