Knowing that the emperor had added another heir, the queen mother was overjoyed, Concubine Wen Hui thought about how it was so coincidental, and blamed herself for ignoring such an important matter as the delivery of the pure concubine, and wanted to go to Xianfu Palace to visit the mother in person, but was naturally stopped by the emperor and the queen mother, and after some persuasion, the emperor and the queen served the queen mother to visit the newly-born prince and concubine in Xianfu Palace. Hongyan was led by the people of the Internal Affairs Office and sent to Yanxi Palace.

Back to the Forbidden City, the high walls of the palace here are still the same, even the palace maids and eunuchs in the Shoukang Palace have not changed, Concubine Yu is hiding behind people and does not dare to come forward, after many years, I didn't expect her to feel a little guilty. Hongyan only regarded it as not seeing, such a person should be respected when respected, and it is best not to communicate when it is irrelevant, she doesn't want to be entangled because of sympathy and pity, and she doesn't know what will happen next time.

The time the queen went to Yingtai, they only glanced at it in a hurry, and they saw each other again, still remembering the painful experience of being bullied by the concubine at that time in front of Ningshou Palace, and then being punished by Baozhen for kneeling, but now they just looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

Qianya stepped forward and saluted solemnly, and said: "The slave maid has seen Wei Chang here, and the west side hall of Yanxi Palace has been cleaned up for you, if there is anything wrong, please speak up directly." She got up and turned sideways to get out of the way, "The slave will lead the way." ”

Hongyan bowed slightly, and followed her to the door, the specifications of the six palaces in the east and west of the Forbidden City are almost the same, only slightly different, Hongyan is lowly and always there, not allowed to live in the main hall, fortunately, the west side hall is also very spacious and comfortable, but it can't be compared to the freedom of Yingtai sky, Hongyan still remembers that Qianya once said that she couldn't breathe when she saw the high walls in the palace, and the sky here was boxy.

Avoiding the people outside the palace gate, Qianya relaxed a little, and Hongyan called her sister, but Qianya said with tears in her eyes: "In the future, if this is the case, it is better to be spared." Actually, I didn't expect you to come back one day, and since you're back, you have to live well. The queen mother came back after going to Yingtai, and she has changed a lot in the past six months, very similar to the appearance when you were still by her side, do you see it, she is no longer so thin and weak, and I am also more relaxed. Red...... No, Wei Chang is here, when you settle down, it is the wish of the mother to come to Changchun Palace from time to time. ”

Hongyan does not force Qianya's humility in front of her, all this is a life she must get used to, and when it comes to the queen, Hongyan also said: "Niangniang told me a long time ago that she was waiting for me to come back in the Forbidden City." ”

When talking, Cherry and Xiao Lingzi stepped forward to see Qianya, Xiao Lingzi used to be the person in front of the concubine, and now Yuzhi Mama was taken back by the people of Tong Mansion to support the elderly, and the others either dispersed or stayed in Yingtai, and Xiao Lingzi followed Hongyan. Naturally, there were not enough two people, and Qianya had already been ordered by the queen to select a suitable person for her to be on an errand in Yanxi Palace, and at this moment she summoned everyone to meet their new master.

Qianya said to Hongyan in private: "Niangniang told me that you must take care of everything, if these people are inappropriate or disloyal, don't bear it, the days will last for a long time, not to endure it can be passed." ”

Hongyan understood, and Qianya's every word was the queen's mind, that day the emperor hurried to set a date to take her back, and what he said was the queen's mind, Hongyan remembered that the concubine said before she died that she left the most important thing to the queen, but she couldn't care about the result, Hongyan vaguely felt that these blessings had fallen on her.

Hongyan was very relieved, and said to Qianya: "When I settle down, I will go to Changchun Palace to thank you, Qianya, you go back first." ”

Qianya pursed her lips, and seeing that there were no idle people around, she reminded Hongyan: "You just returned to the palace, everyone will be curious to join in the fun, catch up with the matter of the pure concubine, and be careful, maybe someone will rush to sow discord with this heat." Today, the pure concubine gave birth to a little brother, and she was born strangely aggrieved. ”

Qianya is no longer the timid and cowardly person she was at the beginning, she is already smart-hearted, she has been by the queen's side for many years, she has learned to be as shrewd and capable as Baozhen in the past, but she does not have the crooked thoughts and greed of Baozhen, and at this moment she is still looking forward to being honest and honest, and when she is old, she can get the queen's grace to let her out of the palace.

Cherry sent Qianya away, and she herself was no longer the lively appearance of bouncing when she was in Yingtai, the girl had grown taller, not much different from other palace maids, she was not only Wei Chang's personal person, but also more decent than others. She instructed everyone to pack up Wei Changzai's things, but Hongyan did not bring back the huge amount of gold and silver left to her by Concubine Shouqi back to the Forbidden City, and handed it over to Ruyin as early as Yingtai, and she brought it back to Fucha Mansion to collect, and Hongyan only brought back enough money.

Xiao Lingzi shared the red envelope and rewarded the people in Yanxi Palace, and got a rich reward, the palace maids and eunuchs all smiled, and when he and his father-in-law came, they all enthusiastically attracted him to see the master.

At this time, Hongyan had changed into the winter robe of the three friends of the lotus satin embroidered Suihan Sanyou, and her father-in-law saw that she was dressed neatly, so he said: "When the slave came, the queen mother had already returned to Ningshou Palace, and the emperor and queen followed. ”

"I'm thinking about whether to go to Changchun Palace or Ningshou Palace first, since you think it's appropriate, I'll listen to my father-in-law." Hongyan agreed, asking Cherry to fetch her snow, and Father-in-law smiled and said, "I often want to avoid this 'you' to the slave in the future." ”

Hongyan smiled knowingly and nodded in agreement.

Wrapped in wind and hair, it is no longer the bright peach and grass green when Yingtai, and the red face is full of low-key and calm clothes, ready as early as Yingtai, and walked to Ningshou Palace step by step, understanding that even if she is still hated by the Queen Mother, she has to live in this Forbidden City. You have to learn to be tactful, you have to understand what identity and what to say, you can't go back like you were wronged like you did at the beginning, thinking back to that time, if she wasn't too strong and tough, the Queen Mother wouldn't have been so angry that she passed the torture rod, and they made a mess like this, but the people who hurt her behind the scenes were snickering.

Even if she is a concubine, she often teaches Hongyan not to oppose the queen mother, the queen mother has her position, but she is by no means a wicked person, she is the emperor's biological mother.

Hongyan lives in Yanxi Palace, which is closer to Ningshou Palace than the West Sixth Palace, and his father-in-law did not follow Hongyan, but Lu Hongyan in the Forbidden City is still familiar. The first time she walked out of Changchun Palace, Baozhen took her to Ningshou Palace, and when she met the emperor halfway, she knelt there and said that she would take care of the queen wholeheartedly.

Now that she thinks about it, it seems that she broke her promise, but she can't take care of the queen, as long as the queen and her let go of their hearts and recognize this reality that has long been unchangeable, they can still get along well. Qianya said that the queen has changed a lot, and Hongyan also remembered that the queen told her when she left Yingtai, waiting for her to return to the palace.

Approaching Ningshou Palace, there was a shoulder from the other end of the palace road, but there suddenly stopped, the palace maid and eunuch panicked, and when Hongyan got closer, he saw the shoulder on the road, and the Hai Guiren was holding a delicate and cute little doll, coaxing him not to cry. But now she is no longer a Hai noble, and the person who is a concubine is also dressed richer than before, she lives in the East Sixth Palace like Hongyan, and lives in the Jingyang Palace at the other end.

Hongyan stepped forward to salute, Yu Concubine focused on the child in her arms, only knew that someone was coming in front of her, but she didn't find that it was Hongyan, after many years, Hongyan's body has changed, which is very different from the little promise in Yu Concubine's memory, but her face is still so beautiful, you can know at a glance that it is still that beauty.

"Yanxi Palace Wei Clan, knock to see Concubine Yu Niangniang." Hongyan made a big salute, all the rules, she learned it by heart when she was in Yingtai.

Concubine Yu can afford this ceremony, but she has always been kind and amiable, and she was not inferior when she was unhappy in the past, but now she has the treasure of the fifth elder brother, and she does not have a high profile in front of people. She had already picked up her son and got up from her shoulders, and while asking Hongyan to get up, she teased her son in her arms and said, "Yongqi, look, this is Wei Changzai, is Wei Changzai pretty?" ”

Concubine Yu put the child down, Yongqi wiped her tears, and the little doll, who was almost three years old, ran up to look at Hongyan, as if she saw that the beautiful person liked it very much, and smiled with tears on her face, and pulled Hongyan's coat as if she wanted to play with her.

Concubine Yu smiled: "Fang was not honest in my arms, and he almost fell off his shoulder, and he was so scared that he cried." Originally, this little road, just walk over, but the little ancestor refused to go, and he didn't sit in the warm sedan chair, so he had to sit on this thing in the cold weather, blame me for not being good, always up to him. ”

Hongyan smiled, Yu Concubine is so easy-going, obviously she is a person she hasn't seen for many years, obviously Hongyan has only come back, but her words and deeds seem to have been familiar with Hongyan for many years and have never been separated, Yu Concubine leaned over and picked up the fifth elder brother, and said: "Sister, this is going to Ningshou Palace, I'll walk with you." ”

Hongyan thanked her, and although she followed the concubine aside, she asked the people of Jingyang Palace to send her shoulders back, and the fifth elder brother was just when he was active, he kept moving in his mother's arms, and he muttered "brother, brother".

Concubine Yu coaxed her son: "E-niang will take you to see your brother in a few days, and now Concubine Chun is busy there." ”

The child was half-understood, still talking about his younger brother.

Concubine Yu asked Hongyan: "You know about Concubine Chun's birth of the sixth elder brother, right?" ”

It just happened, how could Hongyan not know, I don't know what the situation is in Xianfu Palace at this moment, she nodded, but Concubine Yu smiled: "Don't worry about going to ask for peace in the next few days, or...... Look at what the queen mean. ”

A few words, similar to Qianya's meaning, to put it bluntly, she came back today and bumped into the concubine to give birth, even if there is a concubine in front of her, but the concubine can't care about the concubine, naturally care about her, and those who have a heart have to persuade her to keep an eye on it.

In front of the gate of Ningshou Palace, the people there saw the fifth elder brother, as if they had seen a baby, Concubine Yu straightened her clothes and prepared to enter the door, and saw Hongyan take off a blue winter robe, and said with a smile: "This color is good, the Queen Mother likes it very much for a while." ”
