Mama Hua persuaded: "Master, if the emperor doesn't mention this matter, let's not mention it, if the emperor comes to ask, we will deny it vigorously." That's the emperor's sweetheart, can the emperor not feel distressed, but after all, you are his mother-in-law, even if it is a big thing, the emperor can't disrespect his mother. If you lose your temper with some trivial things now, the past will be over, even if you have to restrain Concubine Ling in the future, you are not in a hurry to conflict with the emperor now. ”

The Queen Mother said coldly: "I will never let go of this Wei Hongyan, and if I hold the throne for the queen, the six palaces will not be chaotic." Hongli hates me and hates me, I don't expect something to happen one day, he will come to thank me, I am not targeting Wei Hongyan, I am targeting every woman who is enough to shake the back position, now there is Wei Hongyan, there will be other people in the future. ”

Mama saw that persuasion was useless, and she couldn't help but be disappointed, but the Queen Mother also said: "Don't worry, I won't mention it if Hongli doesn't mention it, if he really comes to question me, I will try my best to deny it, is it possible that he also sent me to the Shen Criminal Division and sent to the Zongren Mansion?" ”

Even if nothing happens at the moment, from the mouth of the queen mother, the love between mother and son can be seen to be over, and what the emperor said to him at the gate of Ningshou Palace, Mama also remembers it clearly, the emperor said that the queen mother only cares about how this harem is, how her own reputation is, and never really cares about his feelings, she is only the queen mother now, and she is no longer a mother.

At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly asked: "Is Concubine Jia going to give birth?" ”

Mama hurriedly responded: "The imperial doctor said that in mid-July, Concubine Yu came back yesterday and said that everything was ready. ”

The Queen Mother instructed: "Don't be contemptuous, don't let others think that in addition to the queen, there is only one Wei Hongyan left in this palace." ”

However, in the days after that, except for the queen, there was really only Wei Hongyan. After the Emperor turned over the sign of the concubine for three consecutive days, the Emperor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not go to Pinghu Qiuyue is Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and from Shaojingxuan to Changchun Immortal Pavilion passing by Kyushu Qingyan, he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Counting the fact that after the return of the holy car, the emperor sent everything that should have been distributed to everyone to Concubine Ling, and as the days went by, people couldn't help but panic. If it weren't for the fact that they did something wrong and offended the emperor, it should have been Wei Hongyan who blew some pillow wind to make them abandoned by the emperor, but now no one can go to the emperor to say a word.

In the face of all this, Hongyan was a little worried at first, but Hong has always seen her, and she still talks and laughs intimately, the emperor didn't mention anything about medicine, and he also laughed at Shu Concubine's incident, and occasionally invited Shu Concubine to talk together in Pinghu Qiuyue, but it was only once or twice but a sitting effort, as soon as Shu Concubine returned to Kyushu Qingyan was surrounded by others to ask long and short questions, she couldn't say why.

The women tried everything they could to find out how they offended the emperor, and wanted to return to the days when the rain and dew were even wet again, but the emperor still went his own way, and some people tried to pass these words to the queen mother, but this time even the queen mother did not express it, as if she had served Wei Hongyan, and was unmoved by the complaints of the concubines.

On July 15, Concubine Jia was in labor, and she gave birth for the second time, because she was trapped in the dormitory for a long time, which caused her to be depressed, and it was not as smooth as she imagined. The labor pains tortured her to death, and she didn't give birth for a morning, and it was dangerous for both mother and son to drag it on, but the emperor was entangled by the government affairs in Shaojingxuan and couldn't leave, and the queen was unfortunately not very safe today, so he didn't have time to take care of her.

The concubines with low status are not qualified to come, the two concubines are not in harmony with Concubine Jia, Concubine Yu is really uneasy alone, and let Bai Li go on a trip to Pinghu Qiuyue, but I didn't expect Hongyan to really come to accompany her.

In the delivery room, the imperial doctor stuffed a century-old ginseng into Concubine Jia's mouth, she breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the midwife and the imperial doctor viciously, and scolded: "Do you think that now that you have a prince, the heirs of other emperors are not important?" I say to you, if my child fails, I will not spare you while he lives, even if I die, I will ask you for my life every night. You're going to give birth to me, you're going to give birth to him......"

Concubine Yu and Hongyan waited under the corridor, heard clearly through the window, and returned to the Qixiang Palace in a trance.

"At the beginning, she abused and beat you outside Ningshou Palace, in order not to let the emperor think that she was tyrannical, she pretended to have a stomachache and wanted to give birth." Concubine Yu smiled bitterly, "The old days are vivid, and when she was born, you were already a concubine, even if the position was not enough, but one sentence was enough to determine her life." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Niangniang said this, the concubine has no place to be ashamed, how can the concubine be able to control the life of others." ”

Concubine Yu said: "Because the Queen Mother has repeatedly targeted you, the emperor has tried to have a bowl of water flat over the years, and the rain and dew in the six palaces are even, which is also considered peaceful." I was able to return from Tianjin, but I don't know what happened and left everyone behind. She smiled, "I don't care, it's been like this for many years, but I've heard a lot of gossip, and if I provoke them, I will do something, or go to the Queen Mother to instigate you, I'm afraid that you will be bullied again." ”

Hongyan said: "Niangniang is kind enough to remind the concubine, the concubine is grateful, but the emperor wants to come to Pinghu Qiuyue, and the concubine still can't stop it?" When you say this, you don't care about the overall situation, you don't have a heart or culture, but Niangniang, you said, if it were you, would you persuade the emperor to go elsewhere? ”

Concubine Yu smiled and shook her head: "I'm afraid that the queen can't do it, let alone you and me?" But this truth will never be thought of for those who can't get it. Sister, you have to be careful. ”

Suddenly there was a scream from inside, Concubine Jia seemed to use all her strength to scold and shout, but this at least proves that she still has strength, Concubine Yu has experienced knowing that the pain has not sympathized with her much, Hongyan said with pity: "No matter what, it is the emperor's flesh and blood, the emperor doesn't care about it like this, in the end it is a little ruthless." ”

Concubine Yu pulled her away, and seemed to be annoyed by Concubine Jia's shouting, but when she heard Hongyan's words, she said instead: "It's not that I'm ruthless, sister, you have to know that there are so many women in the world who can give birth to children for the emperor, and if the emperor is willing, it will be okay to give birth to seventeen or eighteen within a year." Counting the late second elder brother, the emperor already has seven sons, do you still want him to be as excited as he was when he first became a father? It depends on who gave birth to him. You have also seen the situation when the queen mother gave birth to the seventh elder brother. ”

Hongyan saw Concubine Yu looking at herself with deep meaning, knowing that the queen was talking about her, but Hongyan couldn't conceive even if she was a pet every night, Imperial Doctor He said that she had nothing wrong and everything was fine, but if Guanyin didn't nod her head, she just didn't have that blessing.

"But children are always likable, let's look forward to the safety of Concubine Jia's mother and son." With a smile, he brushed the topic on a perfunctory note.

After that, half an hour passed, Concubine Yu muttered that she was afraid that the mother and son would be in danger if it dragged on for so long, but Concubine Jia was born, and when she heard the baby crying, the palace maid came out and said that the mother and child were safe, and Concubine Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

And at this moment, the holy car has just arrived, not sooner or later, and is catching up with his newborn son.

Concubine Yu and Hongyan congratulated the emperor, Hongli wanted to take a look because she heard that Hongyan was here, for fear that she would think she was too ruthless, but fortunately, she could catch up. Soon after, the nurse took the little elder brother out, and the emperor held it in his arms to see if it was his own flesh and blood, there was nothing unjoyful, but it was not as excited as the seventh elder brother who got the queen.

After that, through the door, she said a few words to Concubine Jia, and Concubine Yu had just hugged the little brother and handed it to Hongyan to see, and Concubine Jia's voice came out of it and said: "Your Majesty, that is the child of the concubine, the little brother who was born from the concubine's death, and the life of the concubine." The emperor must not give the little brother to the concubine, the emperor will promise the concubine. ”

Hongyan was hugging the little brother, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the room were all looking at her, and the emperor's face was even more blue and very unsightly, Concubine Yu hurriedly stepped forward to take the little brother back and walked straight into the delivery room.

The weak Concubine Jia shouted out this sentence with all her might, leaning on the pillow at this time and gasping for breath, and suddenly saw Concubine Yu coming in with the child, and also stretched out her finger uneasily, and Concubine Yu had already taken the initiative to let the nurse take the child away.

There was a movement of the emperor outside, the emperor didn't leave a word more, and he left with a red face, Concubine Yu saw that Concubine Jia was very disappointed with tears, and couldn't help but say: "The emperor has come to see you so easily, why do you say such things, just because you are not going well, I am alone and uneasy, so I let Concubine Ling accompany me, and it has nothing to do with you." You didn't say anything just now, the emperor had a smile on his face, and when you shouted this, your face immediately turned cold. ”

Concubine Jia hated: "When will it be your turn to teach me a lesson?" ”

Concubine Yu said: "It's just poor little brother, as for you......" She didn't say anything, turned around and walked out, sure enough, Hongyan was no longer there, she told the palace people to do everything according to the rules, so that they could take care of Concubine Jia and the little brother, and then go to Jifengxuan to report the good news.

On this side, walking in the Old Summer Palace in broad daylight, the emperor held Hongyan's hand without any scruples, and the two walked out of Kyushu Qingyan side by side, and wanted to walk to Siyi Study.

Hongyan knew that the emperor was unhappy, because she was afraid that she would be wronged by Concubine Jia's words, so she comforted him when she went far: "The emperor can rest assured, Concubine Jia's words will not make the concubine sad, and the concubine can also understand the heart of being a mother now." ”

But Hongli is even more sad that the children should be born one after another, but he and Hongyan have never been able to get it, except for the queen, he didn't care who gave birth to him before, but now he has someone he cares about, but he can't get his wish. The most pitiful is still Hongyan, and he was given that kind of medicine by the Queen Mother.

"I know that you are generous, but I feel sorry for you, how can it seem that except for me, everyone can bully you, and everyone wants to bully you?" Hongli's anger is in his eyes.
