"It's not like what you said, what kind of person is like the queen?" Yongqi felt that it was a little strange to say this from Qingque's mouth, so he had to advise, "Although we are outside the palace, we still have to be cautious in our words and deeds on weekdays to prevent disasters from coming out of our mouths." ”

"It's mine, it's not." Qingque hurriedly said, "These days you are not at home, my cousin often comes to take care of my sister with me, and I will talk about the affairs of the palace in my spare time, and I accidentally said my cousin's words." ”

Yongqi sighed lightly: "I don't blame you, this is something that almost everyone understands, and it is normal for you to talk to the third sister-in-law." But even so, you can't say it, be careful in the future. ”

Qingque knew that she was speechless, and she didn't explain more, there were ambiguous and intricate relationships in the royal family, and she still had a lot to learn, and now the first thing to solve was that the fourth elder brother was bent on producing an heir. Yongqi and Qingque don't quite understand whether the fourth elder brother wants to back down, or seek benefits for Yongqi in the future, as Qingque said, if Yongqi has a chance, this opportunity should have fallen on Yongqi a long time ago, unless he is gone, otherwise it will not be the turn of the eleventh elder brother.

However, in the Old Summer Palace, Xu was because the child was still in the womb, and the figure had not yet been revealed, and Hongyan hadn't considered that the children couldn't live with her, so Concubine Yu came to tell her that the eighth elder brother was going to move away, and she was all vacant there, so she moved Xiaoqi and Ke'er to the front, and asked Hongyan if she agreed, and Hongyan found that everyone was worried about her.

"The children are surrounding you, and it's inconvenient for the emperor to come up, isn't it? We're just separated by a wall, and the child is with me, do you have anything to worry about? Concubine Yu followed the words passed on by her daughter-in-law, and secretly understood in her heart that the children who had grown up had become enlightened, and she had no ability to fight for anything for the children, and if she could help, she would naturally do her best.

This is a very common thing in Hongyan's opinion, originally the Old Summer Palace was not a place to live for a long time, only because of the emperor's temperament and her successive childbirth over the years to live for a longer time, since Concubine Yu is so enthusiastic, she has no reason to refuse, but she didn't expect that it was easy for her to do here, but it gave Concubine Shu a headache.

It turned out that the eleventh elder brother heard that the eighth elder brother was going to move away, and he also had to leave with his own brother, although it was not his own flesh and blood, Concubine Shu had also tried his best to take care of him over the years, and he had sent Fukangan away at the beginning of the year, and the eleventh elder brother was also leaving, Concubine Shu sighed to Hongyan: "My mother once said that it was boring for me to take the two children with me, and I couldn't raise them well." At that time, I thought she was talking badly, what do you think now? ”

However, just when Hongyan comforted Concubine Shu, the fourth elder brother personally took Yongzheng and apologized to Concubine Shu in person. thanked Concubine Shu for her nurturing grace, said that the eleventh elder brother was still young and could not leave Concubine Shu's teaching, and asked Concubine Shu to continue to take care of Yongying.

Hongyan looked at the brothers from the side, the fourth elder brother was very sincere, but Yongying was a little stubborn, it was not that this child was ruthless to his adoptive mother, the boys were eager to be independent and self-reliant when they grew up, but between their brothers, there seemed to be something that was not said. Moreover, Hongyan originally knew that the fourth elder brother wanted to have an heir, and he wanted to leave, but he didn't want his younger brother to leave a place where the emperor could often see.

I only heard Concubine Shu say: "If you do this, it seems that I am not, I didn't say that I don't want to be forever, and why should he take it seriously when he is a childish fourth elder brother." While calling Yongying to his side to whisper something, Eleven Elder Brother was a good boy, and the mother and son were as intimate as ever.

Hongyan smiled slightly and watched them talk, but felt that there was a strange gaze looking at him, and turned his head to look at the fourth elder brother, the fourth elder brother was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly avoided his gaze and told his younger brother: "The concubine is pregnant, don't go on a rampage in the spring of the heaven and earth, do you hear?" ”

Yong Ying hummed unhappily and turned his back to his brother, and the fourth elder brother was about to kneel down at this moment, so Hongyan said: "Yong Ying, send your brother, Xiao Qi and Ke'er are at Concubine Yu's place, you go to the front to pass a word for me, and your mother and I will go over to eat at night." ”

Seeing the brothers retreat, Hongyan glanced at Cherry, and continued to talk to Concubine Shu about something, but Cherry had quietly followed.

Outside the spring of the heaven and earth family, Yongying reluctantly followed his brother for a while, and said unhappily: "Fourth brother, go back, I'm going to Concubine Yu's place." ”

The fourth elder brother looked at him and asked, "I made you obedient, you are not happy in your heart, but you must know that my brother is all for your good." ”

Yong Ying said: "If the starling is like you, leaving the palace to open a government and build a mansion, and having a wife, concubines and children, it would be fine, and now he lives alone, and the starling is most afraid of loneliness." ”

"It's time for your starling brother to get married, it's not for you to worry about, in short, we're all for your good." The fourth elder brother squatted down, patted his younger brother's head and said, "Yongzhen, you will understand when you grow up, now follow Concubine Shu Niangniang, follow Concubine Ling, and be obedient." ”

"Fourth brother, I ......" The child's words came to his mouth and swallowed, in fact, he also grew up, the brothers thought he didn't understand, he understood, hesitated for a long time and said, "I'm obedient, fourth brother rest assured, I will definitely have a chance to fight for Eniang." ”

The fourth elder brother's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know if the path he was taking now was right, whether he wanted to withdraw from the dispute or let Yongying have a good future, the boundaries were gradually blurred, and where the road under his feet was going, it seemed a little uncontrollable, and no one knew what would happen in the future.

Cherry was far away, and didn't hear what the brothers said, and soon saw the eleventh elder brother going to Concubine Yu's bedroom, she turned back, but Concubine Shu Niangniang has been following the master, and Cherry didn't have a chance to tell what she saw, and it wasn't until the night that Hongyan heard about the situation after the brothers left.

Cherry said: "The slave doesn't know what the fourth elder brother said to the eleventh elder brother, but that look is different from the angry look when he came, and the last look makes people look very sad, as if they are saying something very sad." ”

Hongyan slowly drank the fetal pill, still savored the bitterness of the decoction in his mouth, pondered what Cherry saw, and said: "The fourth elder brother seems to be looking at me with strange eyes today, although it is only for a moment, but I feel that he is afraid of me, Cherry, why is he afraid of me?" ”

Cherry smiled: "The fourth elder brother is tall and big, dignified, afraid of what you do." ”

"The Prince?" Hongyan whispered, "Maybe he won't be a prince soon." ”

After this incident, according to the development of the fourth elder brother's thoughts, Yongqi did not interfere too much, but just asked Qingque to make a pass between their family and their mothers. And Concubine Yu also listened to her daughter-in-law's words, and took the initiative to propose to the Queen Mother to choose Fujin for the eighth elder brother, and the words reached the emperor, counting that Yongxuan was not young, since Concubine Yu was enthusiastic about the queen mother, she agreed to this matter, and ordered the Zongren Mansion of the Internal Affairs Office to choose a suitable age show girl for the eighth elder brother.

In the blink of an eye, it was early summer, at the beginning of June, the queen mother selected Zhang Jia, the daughter of the university scholar Yin Jishan, for the eighth elder brother, and the future daughter-in-law was full of poetry and books.

But he didn't expect that the queen mother chose Fujin for her grandson on the one hand, and also picked two newcomers for him, the queen mother said that the Qianlong Dynasty did not strictly follow the draft system handed down by the ancestors to select show girls to fill the harem, and the concubines in the palace were either getting older or not favored, she hoped that there would be more people around the emperor to know the warmth and coldness, not to mention that the concubine was now pregnant with Liujia, and it was not suitable to serve the king.

All kinds of truths are nothing more than to ask the emperor to compromise, Hongli and Hongyan discussed a few times in private, Hongyan knew that such a thing was unavoidable, and her concern for Yong'er was essentially different from such a thing, so she naturally persuaded the emperor not to come against the queen mother, Hongli saw her attitude, so he agreed.

Soon after, the Fifth Elder Brother's Mansion gave birth to a healthy little grandson, and the news came to the inner palace, and Concubine Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Originally, from the eldest brother to the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother, the emperor already had a lot of grandchildren, but for Concubine Yu, this is her life's hard work and expectation. No matter how happy Concubine Yu is, Hongyan is in the apse, and she can feel the joyful atmosphere in front of her.

The front was lively, the children were naturally gathered there, Hongyan was looking at the new summer clothes from the sewing room with Cherry, but saw Yongyan's little people jumping in, holding Hongyan's skirt and coquettish.

"Why don't you go ahead and play, sister?" Hongyan smiled, "I want to think about Eniang now?" ”

Cherry said: "Brother Fifteen has been clinging to you recently, and the nurse said that she knew that you had a baby in her belly, and she instinctively wanted to attract your attention." ”

Hongyan smiled: "No matter how many brothers and sisters they have, I won't ignore any of them, Yongyan's temperament has always been like this." ”

"E-niang, ...... outside" Yongyan said the only few words he knew in a milky voice, but Hongyan could understand what the child wanted to express, and asked him, "Do you want to go outside to play?" It's so hot outside, where do you want to go? ”

The little guy gestured with his chubby hand, pulling Hongyan's skirt to leave, Cherry was afraid that the little master would trip over the master, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the fifteenth elder brother, Yongyan thought that he couldn't go out, and couldn't help crying, the front was lively, Hongyan didn't want to trouble Concubine Yu, and hurriedly coaxed: "Let's go, don't cry, Eniang takes Yongyan outside." ”

So Xiao Lingzi and Cherry played umbrellas, and took three or two palace maids out of the side door, Yongyan went outside to drill into the flowers, and when he saw dragonflies and butterflies flying in the sky, he screamed, and even wanted to reach out and grab them when he saw bees. Hongyan was supported to sit in the shade of a tree on the side, watching the palace maid and eunuch playing around Yongyan, and couldn't help but say to Cherry: "Sister Yufei's joy, I don't know when I will be able to understand whether Yongyan will grow up soon." ”

Cherry was about to answer, when she looked up and saw four or five people coming in front of her, she looked carefully and said to Hongyan: "Master, Yong'er has come with someone and is walking here." ”
