Seeing the smile on Gege's face, Su Mala knew that she was looking forward to the emperor growing up as soon as possible from the bottom of her heart, and she was happy because of it.

"Gege, sleep." Su Mala put down the tent for her, "Your wish will definitely come true." ”

Yu'er stroked Su Mala's hand, closed her eyes and whispered, "Tell my sister that I miss her." ”

The night is getting deeper, and the lights up and down the Tong Mansion are gradually extinguished.

Let's say that Tong Jia's family, when he was in Liaodong, was a wealthy family, and he relied on gold and silver to defect to Nurhachi, and now Tong Tulai has gone south and established a lot of meritorious deeds. And he got married to the regent Dorgon, and it can be traced back to the time when E Shuo was ordered to stay in Shengjing to protect Concubine Zhuang, and entrusted him to enter the palace to relieve the siege in order to avoid suspicion.

Tong Tulai had been tossing and turning between the red flag and the blue flag earlier, and now he has entered the white flag, although there is a lot of gossip from people outside, but Dolgon trusts him, and the queen mother also trusts him, which can be described as a promising future.

This time, the Queen Mother invited the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to take the girls into the palace to enjoy the banquet, and everyone understood that she was going to choose a concubine for the emperor.

Qifujin said that the threshold of the family has been broken, that is, he knows that Qifujin is one of the few clansmen and daughters who are liked by the Queen Mother, and he looks at her and Yue Le's Fujin, and can say a few good words in front of the Queen Mother and the emperor.

But Yu'er just wants to see the appearance of the children, look at the tutors in various prefectures, it's still early to choose a concubine, and now is not the time, those who are rushing to climb the royal family will inevitably be busy.

At this moment, Tong Guogang took the family to inspect the inner courtyard outside the boudoir, the old mothers and maids came out, Tong Guogang ordered someone to continue to inspect, and he went in alone to see his sister.

Although Yuan Xi can't be blamed for the stomach trouble, when she asked what she ate during the day, the nurse didn't dare to hide it, only to know that the girl ate so much yogurt with her mouth, and it was strange if she didn't have a stomach.

Mrs. Tong blamed her for being unmeasured, knowing that there was a big event today, and she didn't know how to deny herself, she was a big girl, and she didn't have any self-cultivation at all.

As a result, I didn't eat enough at the dinner in the palace, and I didn't eat when I went home, and I knelt in the ancestral hall for two hours before I asked the nurse to take it back.

But when Tong Guogang entered the door, he saw his sister sitting on the edge of the kang and eating sticky rice dumplings with a big mouthful, and looked at him in horror, as if he was afraid of being caught and eaten secretly.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, you girl." Tong Guogang couldn't cry or laugh, walked up to his sister and said, "I thought you must have been wronged and hid and cried, so you can eat it?" ”

Yuan Xi swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at his brother pitifully: "Don't tell Eniang, brother, I'm very hungry." ”

"Brother will take you to the street tomorrow to eat roast chicken." Tong Guogang said fondly, "E-Niang is going to burn incense tomorrow and stay in the temple for two nights before coming back." ”

Yuan Xi's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled his brother to sit down, and asked excitedly, "Brother, can I go to your yamen to have a look?" ”

Tong Guogang also sandwiched a dumpling to eat, shook his head and said, "It's not a joke there, do you want to see my brother beaten by Ama?" When my brother will also make meritorious contributions to the court in the future, earn an official and a half-position by himself, and no longer rely on Amma, where do you want to go. ”

Yuan Xi served tea to his brother diligently, listened to his brother's words very much, and only waited for the nurse to be separated, and then whispered to his brother: "I met that son again today, my brother is right, he is the emperor." ”

Tong Guogang couldn't help but get nervous: "You met when you were separated from E-Niang?" ”

Yuan Xi nodded: "But the emperor didn't recognize me, and he looked at it from a distance when he thought about it, and it wasn't strange if he didn't recognize it." ”

Tong Guogang asked, "Did the emperor say anything to you?" ”

Yuan Xi told all the situation at that time, and she didn't even raise her head, let alone mention the encounter in the capital to the emperor.

"There are big rules in the palace, and you are doing a good job." Tong Guogang said, "Fortunately, nothing happened, it's okay." ”

Yuan Xi still had the heart to laugh: "Ah, I forgot to return the silver to the emperor." ”

Tong Guogang thought about it again and again, and cautiously reminded his sister: "Today, so many daughters of high-ranking official families have entered the palace, Xi'er, have you thought about why?" ”

Yuan Xi always thought that it was because she grew up that E-Niang relieved herself and took her to the palace to play, but now it seems that this is not the case: "Why? ”

Tong Guogang said: "There is a legend outside that it is the Queen Mother who is choosing a future concubine for the emperor. ”

Yuan Xi was stunned, thinking about his performance today, and smiled: "Brother, then I must not be selected, not to mention that the Queen Mother didn't see me." But Eniang said that I must enter the palace in the future, in case I am selected, I will not be able to see Ama Eniang often when I enter the palace, right, brother, I haven't seen my future sister-in-law yet. ”

"Your future sister-in-law will also go through the draft, and she will be appointed by the emperor and the queen mother before she will marry into our family." Tong Guogang rubbed his sister's head, "Don't worry, you are so naughty and gluttonous, the emperor and the queen mother don't look down on you." As for the future, no matter whose house you go to, Ama and her brother are there, supporting you, and you are not afraid of your in-laws' family bullying you. ”

The little girl blushed, got up and lay on her brother's back for him to carry, and said coquettishly: "I don't care, I want to see my sister-in-law, and I won't marry until Guowei marries his daughter-in-law." ”

Finally coaxed his sister down and left the inner courtyard, Tong Guogang came to his father's side, Tong Tulai was about to sleep, came out in a cloak, stood under the eaves and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?" ”

Tong Guogang cautiously told his father about his sister's meeting with the emperor, and Tong Tulai asked, "So what?" ”

"Amma, my son has been worried." Tong Guogang said, "Amak once thought that one day if Dolgon was defeated, what would you do? Now those who are jealous of you will step on it when the time comes, but anyone who has anything to do with Dolgon will not end well. ”

Tong Tulai looked solemn, pleased that his son could think about such a deep thing when he grew up, but he has always earned his dignity by virtue of his ability, and now although he is a person under Dolgon, he does not rely on Dolgon, and he never curries favor with him.

"The emperor hates Dorgon, and there must be people who will hate Dolgon." Tong Guogang said, "Although today's events can't explain anything, Ama can't help but pay attention. Although the regent is powerful at the moment, the death of Prince Ying, the regent not only lost his arm, but almost cut off half of his body, Amma, what will happen in the future is really hard to say. ”

Tong Tulai tightened his clothes and instructed his son: "Be a down-to-earth errand, do your duty, be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, you can raise your head and speak anywhere." If the country wants to change, it's not something we can control, go back son. ”

As soon as the Lantern Festival passes, the excitement of the year is over, and in February, the emperor will send his mother's coffin back to Shengjing to be buried with the first emperor, and the whole capital is busy with this matter, and the days have passed in a blink of an eye.

At the beginning of February, the holy driver left Beijing, which was the first time that Fu Lin went out alone after following his mother into the customs.

Although he was going back to his hometown of Shengjing, the road was far away, and Eniang and Dolgon were not with him, so he was both excited and bottomless. I didn't sleep all night before I went out, and the next day Yu'er saw it in her eyes, and she didn't break it, but only told her son to be careful all the way.

In contrast, Su Mala was more worried about Gege, she and the emperor were gone, and there were a few pairs of eyes missing in Cining Palace, so she was afraid that the regent would not be able to control the matter and do things beyond her reason to Gege.

In Su Mala's opinion, if Gege is in love with Dolgon, then the combination of the two is not enough, but she really can't figure out what the master thinks about this man, and she is afraid that the master is willing to sacrifice his own body for the emperor.

But Yu'er is not stupid, how could she not be prepared for these things, the night after Fu Lin left, she quietly stood at the window in her bedclothes to blow the wind, freezing for most of the night, and the next morning was a heavy snort and hot all over, Dolgon was worried that her body was too late, and she never had the heart to think about it.

However, this illness also made Yu'er regret, if she really couldn't afford to get sick, what should she do, and she didn't dare to take such a risk, there would always be another way to keep her body in the future.

But Dolgon, this man, is really stupid, Yu'er was sick for a few days, as soon as he was busy with the government, he came to visit him, brought tea and medicine, and stayed aside with his clothes, afraid that Yu'er would also leave him hesitant.

In the afternoon of this day, when Yu'er woke up, she saw Dolgon lying on the edge of the bed and fell asleep, she saw two white hairs in Dolgon's hair, and her heart trembled inexplicably, and for no reason, she felt sorry for him.

"Dolgon." Yu'er spoke up.
