Outside the teahouse, Fo'er was lying at the window and wanted to look inside, Fu Longan didn't know what to say in her ear, the princess smiled and punched her husband twice on the shoulder, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Fu Longan immediately became serious and went to the place where the sound of horses' hooves came.

However, it was Fu Heng who was in the rear to take care of the emperor, Fu Longan let down his vigilance, stepped forward to lead the horse for his father, and said: "Ama, Ling Guifei Niangniang is here, and she is talking with the emperor in the teahouse." ”

Fu Heng's face was stunned, fortunately he couldn't see it in the dark, he turned over and dismounted and walked a few steps forward, and Fu'er also stepped forward and said, "Amma, have you caught up?" ”

"Yes." Fu Heng was very polite, Fo'er was afraid of embarrassment to each other, so she stood beside her husband, Fu Heng raised his eyes to see the lights in the teahouse, and the other people accompanying him were waiting outside, the familiar cherry and Xiao Lingzi were also there, and the two guard leaders who he had been in the palace since he got up early and were loyal to Hongyan. Fu Longan stepped forward and said, "Amma, do you want to report to the emperor?" ”

Fu Heng waved his hand: "No need, you and I are here to wait, it's just ......" He looked at the carriage that Hongyan was sitting in when he came, and said, "The night is cold, the princess is weak and should not wait outside for a long time, please move to the carriage to rest." ”

Buddha knew that her father-in-law was very cautious, and she didn't have to be stubborn about this little thing, and she didn't know how long Ama Eniang was going to talk inside, so she took the initiative to agree, and called cherries to get into the carriage together to avoid the cold, and a fire had been lit outside the teahouse, and Fu Longan asked his father to roast in front of the fire.

But so many people stopped here, it had already alarmed the people in the village, and the magistrate who came with Fu Heng was sent to appease the people so that they would not panic, the night wind was rushing, but the people in the house seemed to be silent. Fu Heng heard Fu Longan beside him and said: "Now the Buddha won't be worried, she has been worried all the way to the south, I don't know what happened to the emperor and Concubine Ling." ”

Fu Heng didn't speak, the light in the teahouse was faintly shaking, I don't know if it was blown by the wind, or the figure inside was shaking.

But Hongyan was held by the emperor, and she sat down for a long time without speaking, she didn't know what she was stubborn and stubborn about, she chased it out, and she did it, what else could she not say. But although they were speechless, Hongli felt that he was holding Hongyan's hand, and he was also being held tightly by her, compared to Fang Cai to shake himself off, not only did he not struggle at this time, but he was also unwilling to let go of her.

"The more you sit, the colder it gets, are you cold?" Hongli finally spoke, untied his windbreaker with one hand and wrapped it for Hongyan, the windbreaker carried the emperor's body temperature, with the familiar atmosphere of Hongyan, and the hard work of the windmill all the way.

Hongli smiled and sighed: "You plan to sit until dawn, I can't bear it." After the age of fifty, one day is not as good as one day, in the past, I could pick up the lamp and criticize the excerpts of the night, but now my eyes are spent, do you really want me to sit with you all night like this?

Hongyan lowered his head and said, "Then you have to travel overnight?" ”

Hongli smiled: "If I hadn't met you, I would have to continue walking for a while, and I would have been able to go to Jiangning and you before the time." ”

Hongyan looked out the window at the night, looked at the direction of the moon to discern the approximate time at the moment, and said softly: "Now that we are in a hurry, we still have time to return to the city, Your Majesty, let's go back first." ”

Hongli said: "If you don't say anything clearly here, can you still say it when you go back to Jiangning, and then on the way back to Beijing, you have to take the mind that has not melted away, and live up to the good spring?" ”

Hongyan felt the emperor's gentle breath, he seemed to be able to guess what he was going to say, since he could rush back to Jiangning in advance to see him, he must be able to tolerate everything, she didn't know how many words of dispute there were between father and daughter yesterday, she didn't know that the emperor was important, but she didn't know that she rushed back for him to deal with the matter at hand as soon as possible, she didn't know this, but after more than 20 years of companionship, she understood how much she understood, and now she said that nothing she said would not be wrong.

"You just lay down like that day, I still have a lot to say to you, but I think you were so uncomfortable before, I really can't bear your hard work." Hongli took the initiative to talk about the day he left Beijing, "If I am angry, how can I sleep peacefully by your side all night, and you go to bed early, I can't wake you up?" If there was no dispute that night, and I didn't care about you along the way, you would definitely see it as a tacit understanding, and you would have waited patiently with me for the return journey, but because of that night, you and I both felt negative in our hearts, not only did you feel uneasy, but I was often worried. ”

The hands of the two were unconscious, and the ten fingers were intertwined together, Hongyan was reluctant to let go, otherwise why would she chase it out, and Hongli's words also entered her heart, if it weren't for that night, everything would have been said in advance, but it was she who threw a back to the emperor, which made her uneasy all the way. But think about it again, the emperor is really ruthless, even if he meets and says a few words to reassure her, every time he thinks of this, Hongyan feels aggrieved, and he doesn't want to take that step.

"I am the emperor, I heard people criticize Fu Heng for being afraid of guilt, saying that he coaxed Ruyin in everything, even if Ruyin did something wrong, it was his fault." The emperor smiled incredulously, "It's true that the eldest husband does not care about women, but in my life, how many people dare to worry about me?" I can't treat you like Fu Heng did to Ruyin, but let's give each other a step, isn't it all done? ”

Hongyan lowered his head and said: "All the way south, the emperor doesn't care about his concubines at all?" ”

The four eyes are facing each other, each other is reading each other's hearts, originally the most tacit understanding of the person, but at this moment, Hongyan does not trust his own induction of the emperor's heart, otherwise what is the sadness and sadness along the way?

"I am pestered by officials from all over the world every day, and as soon as I open my eyes, I am them, and I am so tired at night that I don't want to fall down and fall asleep." Hongli said, "Don't say anything else, I don't have you by my side this way, but there is someone else's place?" You know how much they put their time to make fun of me, the boat is parked on the shore, and the beautiful young women are waiting on the shore at any time, but no one can get on the boat, if nothing else, I know that you are behind me, and if you see it, you will be sad. ”

Hongyan asked: "If the concubines don't follow the concubine and the concubine can't see it, the emperor will let those women get on the boat, just like before?" ”

Hongli smiled and said nothing, his eyes were ambiguous, his face turned red when he saw Hongyan, and said with a smile: "Old husband and wife, you still have to be jealous like this, but you didn't have the courage to be jealous in the past, and you are well-behaved and gentle, and you are so obedient that it makes people feel distressed." ”

An old husband and wife made Hongyan's heart jump suddenly, she didn't dare to mention this word more, nor did she dare to think about it, she felt the emperor's hand straining slightly, and heard him say: "Along the way, the queen mother has sent the palace maid named Yong'er to my side countless times, greeting her or sending things, I have spoken to her a few times, and I am familiar with it." ”

Hongyan raised her head and looked at the emperor, and Hongli said calmly: "I told you that she and An Yi are a little similar, and the queen mother's possible thoughts, you haven't listened to my words yet, so excited." Everything is the meaning of the Queen Mother, and it has nothing to do with me, my affection for An Yi has long stopped in the year she passed away, and it will not be shaken and will not disappear for a lifetime, how can it be possible to empathize with a person who looks a little similar for this? The queen has been dead for more than ten years, is my affection for you fake in the past ten years? If you really want to be emotional about someone in the future, it should be because you are like you. ”

"It's not okay to be like a concubine, it's not okay to be like anyone." Hongyan rushed out of her mouth, thinking that Concubine Yu said that she thought Yong'er's hearty and pleasing personality was like herself, and when she heard the emperor say this at this moment, she was anxious, "The concubine thought that she was reluctant to give up the emperor, and she was afraid that the emperor would no longer pay attention to the concubines, because she was worried about her status and power, and worried about the future of the children, but she couldn't sleep peacefully all the way, and she realized that it was the word affection as it was at the beginning." Because she cares about this love, she always can't allow others to intervene, no matter what reason she comes. It has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother and the palace maid, it's just because of the emperor. ”

"I know." Hongli sighed, "But there are so many women around me, and that Yong'er may stay at any time, in fact, I can't prove my heart no matter what, all I can do is to be good to you and give you all the good." Along the way, we failed to have a tacit understanding, it was I who made you sad, and on the way back to Beijing, I will make up for you. ”

The emperor's ability to coax people, Hongyan has always been admired, which few sentences are true and which ones are false, he knows better than anyone else, and now he is in the wilderness, he is eager to see each other, and he does not confide in his heart at this moment, let alone when. After a little hesitation, she asked Hongli: "The emperor only mentioned the palace maid, in the end, do you still want to keep Yong'er by your side?" ”

"If the Queen Mother really has this intention, I don't plan to refuse." Hongli replied very simply, it can be seen that he has already figured it out in his heart, but he continued, "Whether it is an official woman or a promise, how many people in the palace have never spoken to me in their lives, give her a title to meet the wishes of the queen mother, and raise her in the palace." With a concubine, I can't accept the person arranged by the queen mother, don't worry, there will never be a second concubine. ”

"Rest assured?" Hongyan asked.

The emperor smiled and sighed, "Will you rest assured, is it too simple for me to think?" But I am sandwiched between you and the Queen Mother, what can I do to be at peace with each other, Hongyan, can you take a step back for me? I promised you, just to satisfy the Queen Mother, I went south to get along with her countless times, if anything happens, will we still talk here? ”

When the emperor said this, he used to coax Empress Fucha so patiently, and he was patient with the woman he put to heart at all times, and Hongyan knew that Hongli had never changed. He did not replace Empress Fucha, but was almost the same existence as her.

"I still want to be an emperor for twenty or thirty more years, and now I can't take care of my body, where can I still have the mind of wind and snow." Hongli smiled, "Only by your side can I feel at ease." ”
