"Sister Hongyan means that the queen said a lot of sorry things to her at that time, and thanked her sister for keeping her secret for so many years, although everything came suddenly, but what happened later was definitely deliberate by the queen." Ruyin said, "The queen should cut off her own way, and the emperor and so many people were present at that time, even if she fell into the water, it would be fine, but it looked scary." But my sister couldn't be rescued in time, is it my sister's bad luck? ”

Fu Heng recalled the situation that night and said: "The wind was not urgent that night, the big boat stopped for a while, and there were no turbulent waves on the lake, but many people jumped into the water, and there were more people in chaos. At that time, I only saw many people fluttering, and I couldn't find the concubine Niangniang, who had really sunk and was only picked up later. The two ladies were wearing heavy clothes and heavy gold and silver jewelry, even if they could be watery, they must have panicked if they suddenly fell. ”

Ruyin was puzzled: "If the queen really keeps holding her sister's hand, then if she finds the queen, she should also find her sister, the fifth elder brother is ......."

Fu Heng motioned for her to stop talking, and said: "The emperor is already upset, don't mention these things for the time being, with the power of the fifth elder brother, he can only save one person at that time, is it really wrong for him to only save the queen?" If Cherry talks about these things to Niangniang, you persuade a few words from the side, it is a matter of heart in your heart, if there is no result, it is also Niangniang herself who is tortured. ”

Ruyin looked at her husband and felt that Fu Heng was a little strange, but he said it so calmly, so he agreed: "If my sister wants to pursue the fifth elder brother, she will investigate it earlier, it doesn't matter how the fifth elder brother is this time, if there is something to the queen, it will make her feel uneasy, but I didn't expect that the fault of the last twelve elder brothers will be retributed to the queen." ”

Fu Heng said indifferently: "The queen is not wrong, anyone has to suffer the consequences for what they do." On the contrary, the emperor was so resolute this time, and I was impressed with him. ”

Ruyin didn't say anything on her face, thinking in her heart, sure enough, because the emperor had an explanation for Hongyan, she got Fu Heng's other eyes, not what happened to the emperor, but what happened to Hongyan. She pressed this slightly sour thought, lazily pushed her husband away, and said: "It must be our son who sends the queen back to Beijing, don't let Fu Ling'an send it, the lord of the county thinks that she is not as noble as the Buddha, so she should suffer a loss and be separated from her husband." If the child doesn't say it on his face, he will respond in his heart, you let Fu Longan send it, I am good at talking to Fo'er, anyway, whoever sends it is the same. ”

Fu Heng responded: "You are still careful, I know." ”

Ruyin sent him out, looked at her husband's back, and sighed softly. There are some things she can't force in this life, but thinking about it on the other hand, it is not easy for her man to be so affectionate. Fortunately, except for that complete heart, Fu Heng gave her everything, if everything is perfect in this life, there is such a small piece missing, and she Nalan Ruyin is also blessed.

On this day, Hongyan had already gone down to the ground and walked outside the house, although it was only a high fever overnight, but the body was burned so that he lost his vitality, and people were always floating. The children didn't dare to entangle when they knew that Eniang was sick, but last night when they saw Xiao Qi hugging herself and crying silently, Hongyan felt afraid and heartbroken. If anything happens, her children will lose their mother, and their lives will change, and she must not leave them irresponsibly, she will raise them to adulthood and be with them all the time.

At this moment, Xiao Qi saw Hongyan coming out for a walk, and ran cautiously to support his mother, and said obediently: "E-Niang, my younger brothers and sisters are asleep, I put Sixteen to sleep, he wants to find E-Niang, I said that I can see E-Niang when I wake up." ”

Hongyan said with relief: "E-Niang has Xiaoqi, so you really don't have to worry about anything." ”

Xiao Qi asked with a smile: "Am I as powerful as Sister Fo'er?" ”

It turns out that how did Buddha take care of them at the beginning, Xiao Qi has learned to take care of his younger brothers and sisters the same now, Fo'er has children there and she can't leave, and Hongyan doesn't want to disturb her to worry about herself all the time.

"Eniang, is the emperor going back to the palace?" Xiao Qi asked her mother softly, "Is it really the Huang Eniang who pushed you into the water, the Huang Eniang is so good, she likes us so much, and she is very good to us, why did she push the Eniang?" ”

The good and evil in the child's eyes are very simple, and Xiao Qi is very sensitive to falling into the water, Hongyan squatted down and looked at the child at eye level, and said seriously: "There are some things when Xiao Qi grows up, and E-Niang will slowly explain to you, now you are still young, and you can't figure it out." Do you think that the emperor treats you well, and she is a little reluctant to go, she is very happy, she has to go back, and when she returns to the capital, she can meet again. ”

Xiao Qi nodded, Hongyan saw her like this, thinking that she was not allowed to see the queen, but she was really worried about the queen, so she thought for a while and asked her daughter: "Is Xiao Qi willing to do something for Eniang?" ”

That day, when the sun set in the western mountains, Xiao Qi followed the cherry to the queen's residence, and met the queen mother's side Yongchang coming out of it, she saw the cherry and said: "The queen mother asked me to send a message to the queen mother, please let the queen mother not make another incident, otherwise she will not be able to keep the queen's position for the mother." If it's so powerful, let me tell you, my legs and stomach are shaking just now. ”

Cherry said respectfully: "You have worked hard, the slave thinks that this matter has nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart." ”

Yong Chang smiled helplessly, seeing Xiao Qi, guessing that Concubine Ling must have some arrangements, she left first with interest, and said to Cherry: "Just because I didn't meet you and the princess, so as not to nag the Queen Mother." ”

So Cherry sent the princess in the door, and she stood outside, and came out after a few words.

In the room, the queen was dressed in plain clothes, and her shredded hair was simply coiled behind her head, and the emperor did not let the palace maid cover up the queen with a wig in order to prove that the queen did have broken hair. Xiao Qi was used to seeing the graceful and luxurious queen, and suddenly saw this scene, and hesitated a little and didn't go any further. And the queen thought that who came in to tell her something, but suddenly she saw the little person, her heart softened, and she asked gently, "Child, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Qi slowly stepped forward and handed the paper bag in her hand to the queen, she looked like she was distressing the person in front of her, but she must feel more sorry for her mother, and said in a delicate voice: "Huang Eniang, here are sour plums, if you get motion sickness on the road, it would be good to eat one." Huang Eniang, you take care all the way, and after returning to the capital, I will go to greet you again. ”

The little person, speaking considerate words, a bag of sour plums, is much warmer than what is always replacing the queen mother to keep the throne for her, and the queen has no tears for her son, but looking at Xiao Qi is crying. She choked up and said: "Originally, Xiao Qi could still have a little sister, but it's a pity that Huang Eniang didn't take good care of her, your Eniang is so blessed to have a good daughter like you." ”

I think that at the beginning, the queen only had her Qing'er in her eyes, and she was indifferent to the death of a pair of children, but seeing the current appearance of the twelfth elder brother, she realized how much she had done wrong, maybe she shared some thoughts with the other two children, and now she will not be so sad and helpless. It's too late, don't think about anything, the past can't be changed, and she doesn't look forward to the future anymore.

"I will eat plums well, and Xiao Qi will also be by your mother's side in the future." The queen smiled slightly, sent the child to the door, and was relieved to see the cherry coming to pick it up.

Xiao Qi followed Cherry to leave, but turned around and couldn't help asking: "Huang Eniang, did you push my Eniang into the water?" ”

Cherry was embarrassed and hurriedly motioned to the princess not to ask, but the queen looked at her and was also silent. Maybe it wasn't her who pushed Hongyan into the water with her own hands, but her son did push Sixteen into the water, karma, this is the last thing she can bear for Yongxuan.

Early the next morning, Fulongan arranged a carriage and a horse to send the queen back to the palace first. Because the emperor didn't want to swagger, let alone the queen in front of people, when the concubines remembered this, the queen had already got into the carriage and left. But the twelfth elder brother did not leave, he did not appear again after that night, did not intercede for his mother, and did not go to see the queen again, and the love between mother and son can be seen to be over.

As for the emperor, after all, he still cares about decency, even if such a ridiculous thing happens, if the queen is sick and returns to the palace first, he will treat it as if nothing has happened and continue the road to the south. Knowing that Qingque was pregnant, it was regarded as a major happy event, and he had to send rewards to Qingque as far away as Jiangnan, and even held a banquet in Hangzhou to celebrate Prince Rong's new heirs.

Concubines and ministers, seeing the emperor's attitude, who would dare to mention those unpleasant things in a big way, and no one would care whether Queen Nala could reach the capital safely, thinking about it, she just experienced a vigorous battle, and returned to the past, no one paid attention to the existence of the queen before, and it will only be the case in the future.

Hongyan was only saddened by the Queen Mother once later, and the Queen Mother hated her for being selfish, knowing that the emperor still had articles to do about the abolition of the queen, and was mean to her. Hongyan itself didn't matter, but the emperor couldn't be angry, and after that day, he ordered Hongyan to be crowned as the imperial concubine, and the canonization ceremony was held immediately after returning to Beijing.

However, the status of the imperial concubine has always been an embarrassing existence in the harem, the imperial concubine is the same as the deputy queen, and she is close to the power of the middle palace. Relatively speaking, if the middle palace is still there, but the emperor canonizes the imperial concubine, it is clear that he does not take the middle palace in his eyes. This kind of thing was done by Shunzhi Ye back then, and the imperial concubine Dong Eshi was posthumously crowned Queen Xiaoxian after her death.

The Queen Mother was furious about this, and did not hesitate to instigate in front of Hejing: "You wait and see, your emperor Ama is going to make your mother's slave the queen." ”
