He Jing knows very well in her heart that Hongyan has always kept to herself, and has no ambition for power and position, if the Queen Mother said so in the past, she still felt that the Queen Mother was too alarmist, and she instigated for the sake of instigation, but now that she says such a thing, He Jing is powerless to refute. Father has done this, and it is only a matter of earlier and later after the abolition, so the vacated position in the middle palace must be given to the person he likes the most.

However, perhaps E-Niang is still the most important existence in his father's heart, but E-Niang is long gone, and the year when Hongyan accompanied his father, even if he counts the years when his mother was a child and his father's childhood sweetheart, Hongyan will soon catch up. Let's ask, what qualifications does He Jing have to deny the existence of Hongyan, he once cared the most, cherished the most in front of him, why did He Jing make Hongyan and his father's life like himself.

She only said quietly to the Queen Mother: "That's also good, since before the death of the emperor's mother, Hongyan began to take charge of the affairs of the six palaces, more than 20 years without merit and hard work, maybe in the heart of the emperor Ama he has long been the status of the middle palace, whether there is an actual name, what is the difference." As for the minions, aren't the people in this world all the minions of Huang Ama? ”

The granddaughter's words made the Queen Mother speechless, and she held back for a long time before she said: "Can you open your mouth and call Wei Hongyan the emperor's mother?" ”

He Jing smiled: "The queen is one thing, the emperor is another, Hongyan must not care if I call her the emperor, and now this granddaughter has never called her, for the world and the emperor, is it really important for the granddaughter to respect the middle palace?" Today's granddaughter has never taken her seriously, hasn't she also been a queen for more than ten years? Imperial grandmother, my mother is irreplaceable, she is the eternal main family of Huang Ama, and the people who come after her will always be the stepfamily, which cannot be changed. ”

The Queen Mother didn't expect He Jing to say this, and asked her: "Then what benefits did Wei Hongyan promise you, let you help her like this, you look down on the current one, Wei Hongyan you can afford it?" ”

He Jing smiled and said: "Imperial grandmother, if your grandson can't afford to look down on anyone, how much influence can she have, and what does your hatred of Wei Hongyan affect her?" No one can stop the destined wealth, if you can stop it, more than 20 years ago, she would not exist. ”

These words poked the queen mother's sore spot, she appeased Hongli's feelings back then, compared to the emperor who is now the same, Hongli who was young at the time didn't dare to care about the queen mother's feelings as recklessly as now, but at that time it was also young, the queen mother was afraid of hurting the mother-son relationship, and was afraid that Hongli would do irreparable things under impulse. She admitted that she had never had the sharp and vicious wrists of the past in dealing with Wei Hongyan from the beginning to the present, but in fact, it was herself who caused her to be unwilling again and again. And what she cares about is not exactly Hongli's care about Wei Hongyan more than anyone else?

The Queen Mother gave up instigating her granddaughter, but smiled coldly: "Hejing, what do you say is a man's deep meaning, if your mother is still there, what is the current situation?" ”

He Jing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "My granddaughter can't think of it, but I always feel that like that, they won't be happy." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, she looked at He Jing incredulously, and He Jing smiled bitterly: "Isn't it, at that time, no one was happy." ”

Hongyan never thought that she would be promoted to the imperial concubine during the southern tour, whether it was the imperial concubine or the imperial concubine, her life had already reached the highest place in her eyes. Although there is a big difference between the court and the people, and even the people of later generations, for herself, it is just one more word in the title. Accustomed to hearing the concubine Niangniang, accustomed to listening to the concubine Niangniang, suddenly everyone shouted the imperial concubine Niangniang, she just felt strange, and she didn't feel the expansion of the desire for power, maybe as He Jing said, she has been in charge of the six palaces for many years, and there is nothing she can't get.

And while people respectfully called Ling Guifei Niangniang, they began to discuss endlessly, when this Ling Imperial Concubine entered the Middle Palace and really became the queen, and the status of the two princes under her knees became more and more precious. But even if you don't be a queen, the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother are already the most valuable among the princes. The only flaw is that the imperial concubine's own background is too cold, and she can't get rid of the background of the Zhenghuang Banner Baoyi, so the Queen Mother keeps saying that she is a slave.

Let's say that the emperor took great pains to continue to walk south for a while, and did not take the incident seriously at all, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River leisurely, and then going home, which is also the season when the scenery along the way is good.

But along the way, he had to listen to some criticism, among which he was most annoyed by Hongyan's remarks about spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, he thought that he didn't give Hongyan enough, how could he become a spoiled concubine and kill his wife in the eyes of the world, whether it was to let everyone see the queen treat Hongyan like that, so that they would believe Hongyan's innocence.

The emperor is unhappy, the ministers must be aware of it, there is no faction in the court, there are only two extremes for this matter for the time being, one is to keep the middle palace and not let the Wei family replace it, and the other is to support the imperial concubine, and in the future, she will be the courtier and minister of the fifteenth elder brother.

And a prosperous family like the Fucha clan is not affected by anyone, although there are people on both sides who want to win over the Fucha family to gain a firm foothold for them, but for many years, Yanxi Palace has been friendly with the Fucha family, even if the Fucha family has not yet expressed its position on this matter, seeing that Fucha Fujin is inseparable from the imperial concubine, then Fucha Fu Heng's position has long been self-evident.

Hongli also knew that Fu Heng would inevitably support her to give Hongyan dignity, when the closer to the capital, the louder the voice of the court, the emperor had to seriously consider the matter of Hongyan, after all, the abolition of the harem was not only his love and attention to a woman, but also had a great impact on the royal inheritance and the court. What bothered Hongli was that when the ministers and nobles attacked Hongyan's origin, the emperor's rebuttal seemed very weak and pale.

Passing through Dezhou, when Hongli went to pay tribute to his wife, he got a method from Ji Yun, which was to carry the flag for Hongyan, which was a higher honor given by the emperor to the meritorious generals, although there were precedents among the concubines, but there were very few, after all, the concubines of the emperors of the past few generations were born in famous families and did not need to take this step. Even the queen mother, even if she was Gege in the past, the reign of the first emperor was only a concubine, but she was born with a yellow flag, how can she be compared to the red face and yellow flag coat.

"The imperial concubine has been in charge of the six palaces and served the queen mother for many years, with high hard work, and has given birth to several princes and princesses under her knees, and she is the concubine with the most heirs in the emperor's harem, no matter which aspect, she is impeccable." Ji Yun said to the emperor, "If the emperor raises the flag for the imperial concubine, it will also help the future of the two little elder brothers." ”

Hongli didn't expect that he could take this step, just thinking that the concubine position was the ultimate to the imperial concubine, and Hongyan once said that she would never be the queen, so even if the ministers and even the queen mother were worried that after the emperor abolished the queen, he would set up Hongyan as the queen, but in fact, Hongli would not take any step at all, but he wanted to give Hongyan more dignity, but he forgot it for a while, and said that he raised the flag, and thought that the imperial concubine would have nothing to give Hongyan after that.

In this way, a broker Yun proposed, Hongli immediately issued an order, the team has not yet returned to the capital, Hongyan has been from Manchuria is the yellow flag coated, was carried into Manchuria inlaid yellow flag, inlaid yellow flag is one of the three flags, there is no king in the flag, by the emperor pro-unification, the soldiers are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the members of the royal family are also selected from the three banners, extremely noble.

In the face of more and more glory and dignity, Hongyan's heart is becoming more and more calm, and she has listened to the envious voice among the concubines for more than ten or twenty years, and it is no longer new, but it is a congratulatory voice from Ruyin, which makes her laugh: "In your eyes, is there a difference?" ”

Ruyin said: "For the fifteenth elder brother, the difference is big. ”

Hongyan asked: "I heard that the flag was proposed by Lord Ji to the emperor, after this, is there anything about Lord Fucha?" ”

"Sure enough, my sister understands that Fu Heng did give Master Ji an idea, but my sister also knows that Lord Ji is an official and Qingming and does not cling to the powerful, if Lord Ji himself does not have such an idea, Fu Heng will not be able to control him." Ruyin explained, "Master Ji is a Han Chen, and my sister is also a Han person, even if they only have half Han blood, they will feel that this world will be better for the fifteenth elder brother than for other princes." Concubine Yu Niangniang is from Mongolia, and the fifth elder brother has no Han blood. ”

Hongyan smiled bitterly: "Whether it is a yellow flag or a yellow flag, for me, it really makes no difference." On the contrary, I am worried that in a few years, the emperor will have a new love, and all the glory of today will become a joke. ”

Ruyin couldn't understand it, and asked Hongyan: "The emperor has done this step for his sister, in my sister's opinion, there are still so many worries in my heart?" ”

Hongyan said: "This is the uneasiness and hesitation that you can't experience in your life, even if I have everything, I don't dare to say that this life is stable, he is the emperor, he can treat other people's things, and the same can happen to me." ”

Ruyin felt that Hongyan thought too much, but Hongyan saw the lives of the two queens, Queen Fucha struggled in the feelings of the emperor, and Queen Nala was forced to live in a helpless life, the former couldn't get what he wanted, and the emperor who the latter didn't want was forcibly given, they all had their own sorrows, but I don't know if one day, it will become Hongyan's sorrow.

"And I am such a character, it is difficult to change, and I know the emperor's personality better than anyone else." Hongyan smiled bitterly, "Think more, if you face the reality one day, I can deal with it well." If this life is fulfilled, I will naturally leave this world with gratitude. ”

Ruyin couldn't understand the deep uneasiness in Hongyan's heart, after all, the environment she lived in was very different from Hongyan, but she could always stay by Hongyan's side, and said to her with a smile: "No matter what, my sister still has me." ”
