"Meddle, do you think I still have the ability to meddle?" The Queen Mother smiled coldly, looked at Mama Hua and said, "Your heart is towards Hongli, and you secretly help Wei Hongyan, do you think I don't know?" You're not the one who followed me faithfully. ”

Hua Mama is also old, and the Queen Mother is a person with gray temples, the master and servant have been for decades, and they know each other better than anyone else, she was just about to kneel down to confess her loyalty, but the Queen Mother said: "I also know that if it weren't for you, the relationship between me and Hongli's mother and son would have been over a long time ago." ”

"Master......"

"I'm too old to toss anymore." The Queen Mother's eyes were desolate, "But I'm not reconciled, just unwilling." ”

At this moment, Mama Hua didn't understand what the Queen Mother was unwilling to do, but she seemed to be looking into the distance in confusion, with the initial expectation and longing, but it didn't seem to be exactly.

In the middle of the spring of the Tiandi family, Xiao Qi and Ke'er were lying on the side of the bed, watching Hongyan change his brother's diaper, and Hongyan laughed at them: "How can anyone who is an older sister staring at his younger brother, Yongyan is going to be shy." ”

Ke'er learned in a milky voice: "Shame." ”

Xiao Qi said seriously: "Eniang, when I learn, I will take care of my younger brother, just like Sister Fo'er takes care of me." E-Niang doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Hongyan hugged her daughter and kissed her, and Ke'er came up to kiss her mother, but at this time, Concubine Shu sent someone to find the young lady and the son, steamed their favorite shrimp dumplings, and Hongyan let the children play, and she concentrated on coaxing Yongyan to sleep.

When Xiao Qi left, he saw his younger brother's eyes wide, and said seriously: "Don't be greedy, my sister will feed you when you grow up, you grow up quickly, don't cry all the time, eat more milk." ”

Hongyan was sweet in her heart, sent a pair of daughters out of the door, and came back to pick up Yongyan to coax him to sleep. She said before that the child who was just out of confinement could recognize the mother, but the child's confirmation was that these days she had to be coaxed to be anyone, even if she liked the abundant milk of the nurse the most, she could still recognize her mother, and she was happy to see her face.

"Yongyan is good, it's almost the moon, and next year we will be able to drink fragrant Laba porridge, and you can eat whatever your sisters like." Hongyan swayed back and forth in the room with the child in her arms, and muttered to her son softly, "As long as you grow up quickly, you can eat anything." ”

However, he walked to the mirror with the child in his arms, looked at himself and the child's appearance in the mirror, and remembered that Hongli said that Yongyan would receive a stricter and more cautious education than other princes in the future, and he could not be as carefree as his sisters in the future...... Yearning?

What did she say, how could she coax the child to say that she could eat what she wanted to eat when she grew up, she should say that Yongyan had grown up, she would work hard to read and write, become a wise and intelligent prince, and be the best minister of Huang Ama.

"Yongyan, ah......" Hongyan returned to the bed, put the baby on the bed, Yongyan pouted as if recalling the beauty of breastfeeding, grunted and gradually fell asleep, the pink and bulging little face, people couldn't help but want to take a bite.

When Hongli entered the door, she heard Hongyan shouting her son's name, she sat on the edge of the couch and leaned over to look at her son, so focused and quiet, as if only their mother and son existed between heaven and earth at this moment, Hongli walked to the side of the bed, Hongyan didn't notice it. But she didn't say anything after calling her son's name, as if she had everything in mind.

Suddenly feeling that there was someone around him, Hongyan turned to look, and saw that it was the emperor standing there, so he laughed: "Why didn't the emperor say anything, fortunately, the concubine didn't say anything that shouldn't be said." ”

Hongli smiled: "What are you going to say?" ”

Hongyan deliberately said: "Naturally, it's her husband's bad words, what woman doesn't say bad things about her man behind her back?" ”

Hongli glared at her angrily, stepped forward to see the child, and was pushed away by Hongyan and said: "It's cold, come and see it when it's warmer, the child is asleep, and the emperor wants to watch it for as long as he wants." ”

She took Hongli's hand and sat on the kang under the open window, and naturally bent down to take off his boots for Hongli, so that he could sit more comfortably, but Hongli stopped him, took off his dragon boots neatly, and sat up cross-legged.

Hongyan held the coat he had taken off in his hand, and looked at the emperor strangely, causing Hongli to be disgusted: "Look, I don't recognize me after only half a day's work?" ”

Hongyan smiled: "The concubine has been with the emperor for so many years, which time is it not lazy when she comes, I wish the tea was delivered to my mouth to serve, why is it so good today that I even take off my boots by myself?" ”

Hongli had something to do, and he was unwilling to be pierced by Hongyan, so he only pointed to the other side of the small table: "You hurry up and sit down, since you know that I have something to do." ”

Hongyan put down her clothes and washed her hands, and took a basket of steamed dumplings from the door, which was sent by Concubine Shu to invite the emperor, and she ate a few with her. There was the aroma of dumplings in the room, as well as the sour taste of vinegar, the emperor put down his chopsticks, looked at Hongyan intently, and couldn't help laughing: "You have to soak the whole dumpling in vinegar, can you still eat the original taste?" ”

"After I became pregnant with Yongyan, I loved to eat sour, and I still do." Hongyan said, "People say sour and spicy girls, but I don't know if it's true." ”

Hongli asked, "Are you okay?" I mean that you will raise it for another two months, why did you get out of confinement so soon. ”

Hongyan put down his chopsticks and didn't move again, and said bluntly: "If the emperor has something, just order, let's not go around the bend." ”

Hongli bowed his head and mentioned the matter of Concubine Xin, and he explained: "I'm not trying to stop you from doing anything, I just want to know, are you sure Concubine Xin did something like that?" If you have evidence, even the testimony of a small eunuch, I will ......."

The emperor stopped suddenly, but Hongyan could listen attentively, and couldn't help but pause, and asked himself, "What does the emperor want?" ”

But Hongli still sighed, and then asked, "Do you have evidence?" ”

Their eyes met, and the two of them only had each other in their eyes, Hongyan pursed her lips as if to cheer herself up, and said: "The emperor hasn't checked how Yonglu died, do you really regard him as an accident?" ”

The emperor's Adam's apple rolled a little, avoided Hongyan's gaze, and said: "It's me, but I don't know what you think of Concubine Xin, I'm just a pretentious and weak woman in my eyes, and all I want is a favor." ”

"After Concubine Jia's death, the emperor checked it, and Concubine Jiagui had close contacts with her at that time, didn't she?" Hongyan said, "Although this is not enough evidence to correct Concubine Xin, the concubine is not an official in the yamen, not an adult in the criminal department, and the concubine does not need evidence to suspect anyone." ”

Hongli's expression was heavy and serious, but he had enough patience to listen to Hongyan finish speaking.

Hongyan continued: "But concubines can't easily sentence people to life and death, and without this qualification, they can't be so cruel. ”

The farther and farther he spoke, maybe even An Yi's matter back then would have to be dug up, Hongli shook his head and said: "I'm not here to deny your suspicions, don't misunderstand that I am contrary to your position, let alone ask you for evidence, and it's impossible to shield Concubine Xin." But if you have proof, I will be able to grant your wish in no time, even if it is ......"

"Your Majesty, there is no evidence for the concubines." Hongyan gave the answer, she really didn't want Xiao Qi to repeat what happened again, and she didn't even want Hongli to know that Xiao Qi had experienced such a thing, she only hoped that her daughter could forget all this, even if she still remembered it when she grew up in the future, but at that time, Concubine Xin must have deserved it, she should die a damn death, she should be locked up, and she will be locked up, and she will give an explanation to Xiao Qi to Fourteen.

"No evidence?" Hongli was a little disappointed, naturally not disappointed that Hongyan suspected Concubine Xin without evidence, but if there was evidence, he could immediately achieve Hongyan's wish.

"But the concubine can't let go of the concubine." Hongyan "no" evidence, she has already backed down, "The concubine must send her back to the Forbidden City, and she will be imprisoned forever like the pure concubine, as the concubine just said, you can't easily sentence people to life and death, then let her fend for herself." ”

The room was quiet for a long time, the shrimp dumplings in the steamer lost their heat, the skin dried up, and they lost the appearance of being full and appetizing when they first came out of the pot, but Hongyan picked up the chopsticks again, dipped the dumplings in vinegar, and silently ate the rest of them, not wanting to waste Concubine Shu's hard work, nor wanting to waste the food.

Hongli saw that she had finished eating, and took the initiative to take out the tea from the warm cage to pour her tea, Hongyan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and saw the emperor's unskilled but not clumsy movements, and the steaming tea was sent to the front, Hongyan suddenly smiled: "Sister Shu said that the concubine loves to be jealous now, because she has never eaten any vinegar in her life, but what she hasn't eaten is dry vinegar, and it's a blessing to not eat." ”

Hongli didn't speak, and poured a bowl of tea himself, but he heard Hongyan ask: "The emperor knows about the concubines, why did he say those words?" ”

"If you want to say that, why else?" Hongli Road.

"It's because the emperor still likes concubines." Hongyan said, "It's because the emperor favors the concubines, so while the concubines can still do whatever they want, they must give an explanation to the fourteenth." ”

"It's because I'm unreliable, so you have to face it yourself, but Hongyan I ...... in my heart"

Hongyan stretched out her hand and gently blocked the emperor's lips, how many people in the world dared to do such an action to the emperor, she didn't complain in her heart, but hoped that there would be more beauty in life instead of complaining, instead of complaining about things that could not be achieved, it was better to work hard to achieve it herself. As for the emperor, she said with a smile: "The emperor can't say that, if it weren't for the emperor's fulfillment, if it weren't for you as a backer, Wei Hongyan would be nothing, and everything the concubines would have been given by the emperor." ”

Hongli took the opportunity to squeeze Hongyan's hand, and they didn't spread out their words to each other, but they always had a good heart. Countless women in the three palaces and six courts, such as the queen and Concubine Yu, have been with him for far longer than Hongyan, but Hongli often feels that they are strange, and the women who are in his heart in this life are Hongyan in addition to Anyi, but they are different.

"Do whatever you want, I'll be behind you." Hongli said, pulling Hongyan to get up, "I want to go out for a walk, the house is weird." ”
