Hongli thought that he could see the little palace maid's panicked appearance again, but Hongyan just held the food box high, as if he didn't hear the last sentence of the emperor's question, and replied seriously: "The Hai Guiren was originally given to the queen to taste, and the mother knew that this was something that the emperor liked, so she asked the slave to send it to you to taste it too, which is the mind of the mother and the heart of the Hai noble." ”

Although the person in front of him didn't answer the sentence "I said something wrong", he responded so properly that Hongli had nothing to say. The wives and concubines acted generously and sent a box of snacks, but he was too attentive and despised their minds.

Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to be very happy, Mr. Wu stepped forward to take the food box from Hongyan's hand, and her face was completely exposed in front of people, and Mr. Wu couldn't help but say: "Girl, long live the lord on an errand in front of you, what are you doing with a tiger face?" ”

Hongyan was startled, she didn't realize it at all, she touched her cheeks, and she didn't know what expression to put on, so she hurriedly kowtowed and knelt down, wanting to get out of here quickly.

Not far away, Fu Heng saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, he didn't know what was going on, but he didn't believe that Hongyan would anger the emperor, he was afraid that Hongyan would suffer, and he was worried that he would hurt him even more, he was not so nervous when he camped in the wild and guarded against wolves in the middle of the night, the emperor was condescending, and the red face shrunk into a ball on the ground looked so weak.

"Do you have something to say?" Hongli's heart was not happy, and he couldn't say it, as if something had suddenly disappeared, and his starry eyes fell on Hongyan with a little anger, "Niangniang likes your straightforwardness, when will you twist it, are you not very bold, dare to say?" ”

Hongyan didn't raise his head, and the manager Wu on the side added: "Hongyan, long live the lord is asking you." ”

"You let her think for herself." Hongli interrupted Mr. Wu angrily, stepped forward to pick open the food box, and there was a plate of tsamba, pancakes, oil fruits, and pies, all of which were commonly eaten on the grassland. Whether it is An Yi has a heart, or the sea nobles are intentional, recalling his childhood, Hongli's heart is warm and sour.

What warms is the love and cultivation of his grandfather and grandmother, and the sad thing is that in his most carefree years, it was the last time of his grandfather and grandmother. He was by his side when the imperial grandmother died, talking well, turning around and leaving, but he will never forget the peaceful look of the imperial grandmother when she left.

Hongyan saw that the emperor's eyes softened slightly when he saw the food, and remembered that Niangniang just said that these were the emperor's childhood, and sure enough, no one knew the emperor better than Niangniang, and the look on the face of the Son of Heaven at this moment made people feel very peaceful. Looking at such an emperor, Hongyan suddenly had the desire to speak, just like that day when he was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, he said whatever he saw, and poured out what he wanted to say the most in his heart: "Your Majesty, the sea nobles are very pitiful, that day the slave maid saw that Concubine Jia let the little eunuch press her, and she had to poke Bai Li's eyes with a hairpin, if it wasn't for the slave maid being ordered to pass the word, Aunt Bai Li might be blind." ”

Chief Manager Wu shrugged his eyebrows on the side, no wonder the emperor said, this girl dares to say it. She is a palace maid in the middle palace, what do you care about other people's affairs, everyone else can't wait to hang high, she is a little palace maid who cares so much?

Hongli pinched a piece of tsamba in his hand, Mr. Wu held the food box and smiled helplessly, the emperor took a bite, the craftsmanship of the Hai nobles was indeed very good, but he quickly put it down, and did not respond to Hongyan's words, only instructed Mr. Wu: "You take her back, what should you say to the queen, do you want me to teach you again?" ”

How much does Manager Wu understand people, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The slave will go now, the emperor, the slave understands." ”

Hongyan saw that the emperor didn't respond to her, and she couldn't rush up to ask the emperor to express something, she just couldn't understand that when she saw the embarrassed Hai nobles that day, the emperor stood far away and refused to show up, but when she turned around, she had a smile on Jia Concubine, but it was obviously Jia Concubine who was vicious.

"Girl, come with me." Manager Wu asked the little apprentice to come and hold the food box, and stepped forward with a shaking dust, his face seemed to be smiling, but Hongyan looked at his eyes, why did his heart tremble.

Fu Heng watched Hongyan being taken away by Manager Wu, she lowered her head and followed behind, and she didn't see that she was on the side this time. He is also a person who has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and in this atmosphere, he really feels that Hongyan has no good fruit to eat when he goes back, but he is a royal guard who intervenes in the affairs of the inner palace, and that really pushes Hongyan to death.

"Fu Heng." But the emperor was not in a bad mood, so he asked him to come forward and give him a taste of the dim sum made by Hai Guiren, and said, "In a few years, let you go to the grassland for a walk, and it will be more authentic to make these things there." ”

Fu Heng thanked him, and the emperor said: "Your sister is very worried about your marriage, and now the Fucha family completely wants your generation to support it, and it can't be done without the help of the virtuous." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are impetuous, I'm afraid it's not yet time to start a family." Fu Heng looked nervous, and his words were not convincing, but he just came up with a reason, thinking that he was at such an age and with such a family background, he already had wives and concubines and children in other people's families, but he still blindly refused.

Hongli said with a smile: "Your sister is anxious, it's your temperament, no matter what, I still want to cultivate you in the past two years, then you can learn your skills with your heart, and the love of children will last for two years." There is the Queen, I will explain. ”

Fu Heng couldn't tell whether he was stable or uneasy, although he was thankful for his knees, but he didn't understand what he thanked the emperor, and he didn't understand why he was uncomfortable every time he saw the emperor talking to Hongyan.

On this side, the queen and the sea nobles had returned to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion to wait for the red face, but they didn't expect Manager Wu to lead her back.

Hai Guiren was very eye-catching, and wanted to retreat so that Wu Gonggong could talk to Niangniang, but Manager Wu smiled, and quickly told the queen what Hongyan said in front of the emperor, Hai Guiren didn't expect a palace maid to stand out for her, and her heart turned over the river and the sea, only the queen smiled calmly and responded: "Tell the emperor, say I know." ”

Gonggong Wu didn't talk much nonsense, immediately saluted and retired, turned around and saw Hongyan, and showed that kind of look that made her heart tremble, Hongyan always felt that Manager Wu was silently telling herself that she was really in trouble today.

The people around the emperor left, Hai Guiren felt that he had caused trouble to Niangniang, and he was about to confess before the queen could speak, but the queen called Qianya to support her, and comforted her in turn: "You go back and think about it, what else can you do." If you want, I can send you directly to the dragon couch, but you know that your master doesn't like such things. You've figured it out, and then tell me that today's snack is very good, but it's a pity that I sent a foolish thing to ruin your mind. ”

Hongyan was startled on the side, her heart was beating wildly, and then she saw Qianya helping the nobles of the sea to go out, and she snorted at herself, she guessed that Qianya wanted to admit her mistake to the queen by herself, but just now Mr. Wu came to visit, and she didn't say that she was not at all.

"Red face." The queen finally called out to her, and she shuddered and immediately stiffened, motionless like a frightened rabbit, and stared blankly at the queen.

"Go outside and kneel and think about it, and you can figure it out for yourself and get up and tell me what's going on." The queen showed a bit of majesty, and her serious tone was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out, she was stunned for a moment, and saw that there was no room for turning around on her face, so she ran out honestly and accepted the punishment under everyone's strange eyes.

When Qianya sent the sea nobles out, she happened to receive the princess from Ning Chun Hall, and happily entered the door together, but saw Hongyan kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, and He Jing ran forward and gently kicked her ass, and said with a smile: "It's really strange, the emperor's mother loves you now, more than me, you are going to become half a princess, why are you punished?" ”

"Harmony." The queen was already standing in front of the door, beckoning her daughter to come over, and Hongyan glanced at her, and her eyes met, so frightened that she immediately bowed her head again.

Qianya sent the princess over, and the queen whispered: "I want her to figure it out by herself and get up, but she is so stupid, she doesn't dare to move when it's dark, half an hour is enough, and then I'll say it's what I mean, let her get up and reflect in her own room." You don't have to come to me for a few days, just be idle. ”

Qianya listened to them one by one, and still sighed in her heart, whether it was punishment or kindness, everyone understood that the queen really loved Hongyan, not like a master and servant, like a sister, she was teaching with her heart. She waited for her masters to enter the inner hall, and when she went out again, she looked at Hongyan, and said angrily: "You deserve it." ”

Outside the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, Fu Heng resigned as emperor, and then took office to investigate the customs and defenses of the Old Summer Palace. The Old Summer Palace is the former Kangxi Ye gave the first emperor when he was still the prince's residence, and it was very close to the Changchun Garden where Kangxi lived at that time, after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, the two gardens were opened, and after more than ten years of expansion, it covers an area several times larger than the majestic Forbidden City. The palaces and buildings in the garden are scattered among the trees, or by the mountains and rivers, or living alone in a corner, each of which is different. It is not as good as the Forbidden City in the boxy square with high walls separating each other, which is very easy to do, and every step of the defense here is even more inmissible.

He deliberately led people to wander near the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and intentionally or unintentionally asked some palace maids and eunuchs nearby, and sure enough, when he heard the gossip of others, he said that the queen was having a palace maid being punished. Hearing this, Fu Heng's heart sank, and he lingered in the vicinity for a long time uneasily, and finally made up his mind to send someone to report that he wanted to meet the queen.

But when Fu Heng entered the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, except for his niece who came to greet him happily, he didn't see anyone being punished, let alone Hongyan, but Hongyan has always served in front of the queen, and she didn't see her for a long time today.

At first, He Jing pestered his little uncle, and the queen only asked him about the defense in the garden on the side, and when He Jing had a good time, the queen asked Qianya to lead the princess to use snacks, so as to leave Fu Heng to say a few words of self-consideration, Fu Heng himself didn't expect that his sister said: "Are you here to support Hongyan?" I'm asking you, does Hongyan know that there is a person like you behind her? ”

Fu Heng's face tightened, and he couldn't answer.
