072 Don't Tell the Queen (There's an update.)
The third lady said worriedly, but as a younger sister, why should she worry about the affairs in her uncle's room. It's just that after Ma Qi's death, the Fucha family will have the final say again, if any brother in their house wants to come out, it all depends on the queen's words, and at this moment, I am afraid that it is not for the second brother's family to worry about, but to seek a future for her husband.
But this matter itself, the queen cares very much, there is no honest person like the second brother, there are many people in the family, and it is not strange to see it, but it is like the second brother, which is very reassuring.
After all, her sister-in-law can't save face, and the queen listened patiently, but she didn't show her attitude for the time being. When he returned to the banquet, Hongli invited the Queen Mother to the lake to enjoy the fireworks, the Queen and he served the Queen Mother on the left and right, and the third elder brother and He Jing were chattering by her side, and the Queen Mother was satisfied. I looked at my daughter-in-law beside me, saw her smile sincerely, and hoped that she could truly get out of the grief of losing her son.
Because they left the table to watch the fireworks by the lake, the ministers were led to the designated place, and the accompanying ladies did not have to be too taboo, and the queen mother was very friendly, asking them to stand forward a little so that they could see clearly, and the lively people gathered by the lake, talking to each other in groups.
Suddenly, there was a boom, and a brilliant fireworks burst into the night sky, attracting praise. Fireworks in this garden with mountains and rivers, and the two scenery of the Forbidden City, Hongyan supported the queen, staring at the night sky without blinking, and was already stunned.
And the queen has seen all kinds of scenes when she was a child, it is not new, she turned her head to see the novelty of her face, and the life of envy is still blank, she can paint all kinds of beauty, she can still enjoy all the novelty of the world, but she has very little to do, and she can afford to lift her spirit.
Hongyan saw that Niangniang looked at herself, smiled happily, and another golden firework rose to the sky, illuminating the lakeside as bright as day. Hongli casually looked at the queen, An Yi was looking at the other place behind her back, and all he could see was the beautiful face under the golden light, but the red face around An Yi.
The fireworks were short-lived, and when the next one bloomed again, Hongyan had already turned his head, and the glimpse made the emperor's lips hook up a faint smile, but it was just a beautiful joyful mood, and he hadn't thought about what would change at this glance.
On this side, Concubine Xian was standing on the side with Hua Rong, she had no intention of enjoying the fireworks, but she was just a scene. In the rumbling sound, someone suddenly came forward to greet her, and under the flashing light, but when she saw several ladies from Fucha Mansion coming, all of whom were familiar with each other in the past, she couldn't help but show her face and said, "I haven't talked to you sisters-in-law today." ”
Concubine Xian often went in and out of Fucha Mansion with her family when she was young, and she was more familiar with several ladies than the queen who married early, and the Fucha family had many sons and prosperity, which made her position as a family member in the clan hot.
Several ladies stepped forward to salute, the second lady is interested in everything today, the family affairs have not been settled, the husband still refuses to admit his mistake and apologize, but it is clear that he has the fragrance of other women, even at this moment, the second lady still can't hold back the annoyance in her heart.
A gust of night wind blew, the spring night was still cold, and the people around them tightened their collars to keep out the cold, only the second lady was in vain. In the darkness of the night, her eyes shone sharply, searching around for the familiar and disgusting aroma wafting from nowhere. But when she realized that the concubine in front of her, who was waiting for her in a trench coat, was the source of the fragrance, her heart was pounding, and she was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe, so she involuntarily approached her, more certainly.
Concubine Xian loves Fu Qing and is hostile to his wife, but now she can't change anything in her life, but looks at Fu Qing's love for his husband and wife, and has a good impression of the second lady, and smiles politely at the moment: "The wind is blowing, is the second lady cold?" ”
But before the words fell, a firework rose into the sky, shining the second lady's miserable face, and she watched her body go soft and fall down with a bang.
There was a sudden agitation in the crowd, and the guards and eunuchs wanted to ask the emperor to move to a safe place while investigating what was going on, and later found out that it was the wife of the Fucha family who fainted, and the queen mother persuaded the queen: "It's your family, take a look, we should disperse here." ”
The queen did not shirk, she was worried about the second brother's affairs, the second sister-in-law was sent directly to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, I never expected the imperial doctor to come to check the pulse, and actually said that the second lady was pregnant, thinking that she was already more than thirty and half of the people, and she had encountered such a good thing.
Hongyan helped the awakened lady to sit up, seeing that her face was full of sorrow, and she was not surprised that there was life in her womb, Hongyan couldn't help but sigh, how good it would be if the lord gave this child to the queen's mother, and the mother would be very happy.
"When Xifeng is gone, the second brother will come to pick you up." The queen sat aside, the relationship between the sister-in-law was not close or close, but it was a joy for the brother to add another heir, she congratulated, "I will send the imperial doctor to take care of the second sister-in-law in the house, although she is not young, it is okay." ”
The second lady sneered: "If it is one corpse and two lives, he can marry ...... with peace of mind" But when she thought of the so-called "small", it was likely to be Concubine Xian, and the second lady felt that the five thunders were on the top, this was a matter of killing the head and punishing the nine clans, is Fu Qing crazy? It's really that in those days, he replaced Fu Heng and came to the Old Summer Palace to supervise the guards, and when he went home that day, he was contaminated with the fragrance of a strange woman. The second lady looked up at the queen solemnly, biting her lip and not saying a word, if she sat down on this matter, even the queen would have to take it.
"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" The queen saw that her sister-in-law had a strange expression, and it was really as the third brother's family said.
The second lady shook her head vigorously and barely smiled: "The concubine thinks about God's blessings, but I don't know if she has a life to enjoy the blessings." ”
The queen secretly smiled bitterly, God is kind, but it is not fair, she is looking forward to the person who has a child, but she can't get such a gift, but the person who gets it doesn't seem to want to cherish it at all.
At this time, Qianya came in and said that Xifeng Xiuse was all scattered, and the emperor had sent the Queen Mother back to Ningchun Hall, and Lord Fu Qing was waiting outside the Changchun Immortal Pavilion to take his wife back to the house.
The second lady's face was pale, and she didn't seem to be willing to face her husband, the queen persuaded a few words, although she didn't know the essentials, but she couldn't stay in the inner palace as a foreign wife, and she still reluctantly sent people out, and because it was late at night, the queen was not suitable to meet Fu Qing, and today's words couldn't be said after all.
Outside the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, Fu Qing and Fu Heng were together, and finally received someone, Fu Heng stepped forward to congratulate him, but the second lady said: "Trouble Uncle Go ahead, I have something to say to your brother." ”
Fu Heng didn't care, but when he turned around and saw that it was Hongyan who sent his sister-in-law out, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and wanted to say hello to Hongyan, but another little eunuch came out to talk to her, and Hongyan didn't look this way. Fu Heng felt a little lost in his heart, I don't know if he cares too much, he always feels that he and Hongyan often pass by.
In order to let the second brother and sister-in-law speak, Fu Heng had to go farther, as soon as he walked away, the second lady shook off her husband's hand, and it was precisely this scene that was seen by Hongyan who turned around to go back, she was shocked and ran away.
Fu Qingnian's wife was pregnant, and she patiently continued to explain: "Don't be suspicious, how can I have a woman outside, and the concubines in the family are all for you to accept, when will I be sorry for you?" ”
The second lady gritted her teeth, her eyes were cold, and she asked in a suppressed voice: "Are you going to die, do you know that your Fucha family is going to suffer a great disaster?" Fu Qing, you are crazy, what woman in the world can't be provoked, you go and provoke the emperor's female ......"
Hearing this, Fu Qing's heart was like a drum, and he covered his wife's mouth in a panic, not that he didn't tell the truth, but that he didn't dare to say it, now that even his wife was aware of it, he forcibly took his wife home, and finally dared to confess what happened. The second lady heard that it was Concubine Xian's wishful thinking pestering her husband, and she also thought it was incredible, but he understood her husband's personality best, he never coveted beauty, how could he risk death to beat the emperor's side.
That night, Fu Qing repeatedly told his wife: "It's really the wishful thinking of Concubine Xian, I ran into it in the Old Summer Palace that day, I was almost scared to death by her, and I can't go to the Old Summer Palace and the Forbidden City anymore." But this matter, by all means, can't be told to the queen, let's take it into the coffin."
The night is getting deeper, and the garden that has been lively for most of the night regains its tranquility, but in fact, the Yuanmingyuan is wide, and the bustle of the west peak is not transmitted to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion at all, but it is a gust of wind, which sends the fireworks tonight, and the cool wind is mixed with the breath of gunpowder, revealing the desolation and loneliness that doubles after the excitement.
Hongyan was moistening the queen's hair, and Qianya leaned out half of her body in front of the door, and said embarrassedly: "Master, Wang Gui said that Concubine Jia Niangniang and others were on the way from Ningchun Hall, and intercepted the emperor halfway, and the emperor probably won't be able to come tonight." ”
The queen looked indifferent: "Don't get in the way, today is a good day for her and the fourth elder brother, it should be." ”
Hongyan carefully teases the queen's green silk, and her abundant hair is a symbol of good years, but in such good years, the queen has to endure the loneliness of the empty bed in the middle of the night from time to time. But she is not the only one, all the women in this harem, as well as those who have three wives and four concubines, all experience such a life. Today's words of the third lady, the sadness of the second lady, and the red face are also in the eyes.
The queen didn't want to be a resentful woman, talking about today's excitement, saying that she had seen more grand fireworks, the atmosphere in the hall gradually eased, seeing that the master was going to bed, Hongyan went to get hot milk, but I didn't expect to step out of the door, I saw the emperor coming from outside, the faint smell of wine gradually approached, Hongyan's joy was overflowing, and Hongli saw the little girl smiling so brightly when he approached, and couldn't help asking: "What is so happy." ”
Of course Hongyan is happy, as long as the queen is happy, there is nothing to be satisfied with.
Hongli couldn't understand it, but who didn't like to see a smiling face, he entered the door in a good mood, and the queen was also very surprised. When he took off his shirt for Hongli, his eyes inadvertently fell on the red face in front of the door, seeing her so happy, he couldn't help but feel funny, and his heart was also warm, there was really a person who was thinking about himself all the time.
However, the warm atmosphere here contrasted more and more with the dullness of Kyushu Qingyan, and the sea nobles lay down, and they heard the movement of the cup, which made her frown, and Bai Li whispered on the side of the bed: "Which one else can it be, I ran to wait for the Long Live Lord, but I was chased back by the Long Live Lord." ”
