"Walking around the palace every night? What is she doing here? Concubine Yu was curious.

"Who knows, say that the emperor doesn't turn over the brand of Concubine Xin, it seems that he sent a sachet yesterday, but he was uncomfortable when he met Concubine Xinniang." Bai Li said, "Even if you are uncomfortable, you have to stay, but if you are not comfortable, what are you going out to do this big night?" ”

When Concubine Yu came to Yanxi Palace to tell Hongyan, Hongyan said that she knew what Concubine Xin was doing, and she didn't know which shaman told Concubine Xin that the Forbidden City was heavy and unsuitable for girls to grow up. This is the fifth day, and Concubine Xin has been praying for the little princess in the palace at night for the past few days.

"Day five?" Concubine Yu didn't know, because there was almost no sleeping in Jingyang Palace, in order for Yongqi to have a good work and rest, if there was no festival banquet, the people in Jingyang Palace had always rested early, and she didn't want to miss such a thing, she sighed, "Go through the six palaces of the east and west, even if you take three steps and kowtow, you have to kowtow hundreds of heads, for seven consecutive days, can she still have a good forehead?" ”

Hongyan said lightly: "This is her own business." ”

Concubine Yu asked, "Does Concubine Shu's sister know?" ”

Hongyan shook his head: "Few people know now, it's so cold and they rest early, if it wasn't for the guards the day before yesterday, I wouldn't know." But since my sister has also heard about it, I guess the palace should know in two days. ”

There was charcoal burning in this room, and Concubine Yu still felt cold, so she covered her ten fingers on the stove and said softly: "Does she want to make it for the emperor?" ”

Hongyan lazily pulled the blanket on her body up: "It's not a bad thing, let's just watch, that's her daughter, people are willing to endure hardships for their own flesh and blood, why should we say cool things." ”

But this night, after Concubine Yu returned to the palace, she waited for Bai Li to ask for the news, saying that Concubine Xin had gone back after a circle, and she didn't meet the emperor, and she didn't meet the emperor on the fifth day.

Concubine Yu said to Bai Li: "If I want to be Yongqi, I will naturally not blink an eye on the knife mountain and the sea of fire, but Concubine Xin's attitude towards the little princess was also seen in the previous days, and she suddenly fought so hard, I hope she is a conscience and can cherish her own flesh and blood, and don't be unfair to the child because she didn't give birth to a son." ”

But how could Concubine Xin kowtow hundreds of heads to pray for a child who had no blood relationship with her, for seven days, but she was afraid that her head would be broken, she just pretended to walk in a circle in the palace, and tried her best to avoid the emperor's whereabouts for the first six days, and on the seventh day, she asked the emperor to go to Ying Concubine's palace at night, and waited on the way through.

But when the holy car came, she didn't wait on the side of the road with Huiyun, but the two of them found a corner to hide their bodies tightly, and when the holy car passed by, she deliberately coughed, causing the guards to surround her with lanterns, and Mr. Wu stepped forward to take a look, and then went back to tell the emperor: "Long live the lord, it's the concubine Niangniang." ”

The emperor got down from the warm sedan chair and saw that Huiyun had helped Concubine Xin to step forward, and more than a dozen lanterns illuminated this piece, he clearly saw Concubine Xin's embarrassment, and saw the scar on her forehead.

"What are you doing here?" The emperor asked knowingly. He has long known that Concubine Xin is praying for the little princess in the palace, but in the eyes of everyone, this behavior must be to win the emperor's sympathy, the harem woman will do anything in order to let the emperor look at herself more, Hongli has not experienced anything else, even if Concubine Xin does this for another purpose, he also hopes that the so-called blessing can be somewhat beneficial to the weak child.

As for Concubine Xin, after knowing about this, the emperor waited for a day to "meet by chance", today is the seventh day, and he finally met, no matter what the purpose of Concubine Xin is, but Hongli finally has a logical reason to make Dai Jia's "favorite concubine" again.

It is impossible for him to give up caring about Hongyan, so he has to use more women to distract the attention of outsiders, whether it is Concubine Xin or Concubine Ying, the emperor will not sacrifice them to push them to the top of his mind, but for Hongli, the meaning is really different. So he is not disgusted with Concubine Xin's "wrist", but is willing to push the boat down the river and fulfill each other.

"The concubine didn't do anything, she disturbed the holy driver, and the concubine deserved to die." Concubine Xin said timidly, bent her knees and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please warm up the sedan chair and continue to move forward, the concubine is going back." ”

"You're injured, this place is not far from the Heart Cultivation Palace, I will take you to heal." Hongli Road.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Xin was a little excited, and her voice was choked, "The concubine is praying for the little princess, and she really doesn't dare to accept the emperor's grace, if the emperor takes the concubine away at this moment, the concubine's merits in the past seven days will be in vain." Your Majesty, for the sake of the health and safety of the little princess, please leave your concubines and continue to go. ”

Hongli frowned slightly, muttered for a moment, and shouted to Manager Wu to order: "Give Huiyun two lanterns, send two more people to serve, and send Niangniang back as soon as possible." ”

In this way, although the holy car left, the people of the Heart Cultivation Hall followed Xin Concubine, Xin Concubine was only doing superficial work, and this time she had to really return to Chengqian Palace in three steps and one kowtow, her forehead could still be pressed against her hands, and her knees and palms had to fall to the ground. Back in Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xin couldn't even walk, so cold on the ground that Concubine Xin had a fever that night.

That night, the emperor spent time in Concubine Ying's house as usual, and specially told her about meeting Concubine Xin at night, which made Concubine Ying feel uneasy and afraid that Concubine Xin would be distracted. The next day, I publicized this matter, originally wanting everyone to laugh at Concubine Xin shamelessly, and use the little princess as a guise to seduce the emperor in a different way, but I didn't expect the Heart Cultivation Palace to send people to greet three times a day, and the little princess who had been sick was also healthy, as if Concubine Xin's prayer really worked.

The emperor's attitude made the queen mother feel incredible, and five days later, the concubine recovered, and the emperor came to the door in person, taking her and the little princess to bask in the sun in the imperial garden, and it was also from that day that the gloomy weather in the capital began to clear, and the glory of the Chengqian Palace bloomed again in the Forbidden City with the arrival of spring.

Not long after, for the wedding of the fourth elder brother, the sixth palace gathered in Ningshou Palace, although Concubine Xin's body was well, but the scars on her forehead had not receded, and the faint scars like plum blossoms were her love for the little princess. The Queen Mother praised the good of Concubine Xin, and asked the Six Palaces to follow suit, when everyone dispersed, Concubine Ying stood in front of the palace gate and said: "What does the Queen Mother want us to learn from her, learn her to draw a flower in the center of her eyebrows, and seduce the emperor to pick it?" ”

Several nobles often laughed and dispersed, and Concubine Xin still stayed in front of the Queen Mother, changing her previous unpleasant attitude, and smiled kindly: "I didn't expect you to be able to impress the emperor's heart by yourself, it can be seen that I and your mother have not worked in vain, and we will be more cautious and cautious in the future, although the emperor is amorous, but he is also a woman who values love and righteousness, if you can enter his heart, you can be worry-free for a lifetime." The emperor has always liked concubines to treat his children well, and he especially likes girls, just that, there will be a chance in the future, let's look forward to another prince, and now you keep the child well, and the blessing is still to come. ”

So, no matter how Ying Concubine and others ridiculed and ridiculed, no matter how the Queen Mother was puzzled, the emperor was to regain favor Xin Concubine, after her body fully recovered, she stayed in Chengqian Palace for three consecutive days, and because Xin Concubine prayed for the little princess to bless her knees and take time to recuperate, the emperor gave her his shoulder to travel, and then went in and out of the high-end sitting on the shoulder, and it was the emperor's shoulder, so that everyone looked up to her figure, what a scenery it was.

The news spread outside the palace, for the sake of the little princess and Concubine Jia, Mrs. Nasutu, who had been avoiding the limelight, also happily entered the palace again, although it did not allow her to walk in the inner palace in a sedan chair, but now she has also become a person in the eyes of the eunuch and palace maid, like a guest. Until the eve of the fourth elder brother's wedding, the most lively thing in the palace was the reappearance of the glory of the Chengqian Palace, and even the magnificent carved beams and paintings were worthy of the name.

And the wedding of the fourth elder brother, because Concubine Jia was deceased, Concubine Yu and Hongyan supported the scene, and the people in the palace were not allowed to neglect the wedding of the prince, and it was arranged according to the scale that Concubine Jia expected in front of her.

The day before the wedding, Yongqi passed the word on behalf of the fourth elder brother and invited his mother to Zhongcui Palace to talk, at that time, Hongyan went out for a walk and came to Zhongcui Palace to gossip, seeing that the fourth elder brother and Yongqi had something to do, she wanted to avoid it, but the fourth elder brother said: "Concubine Ling, you are also here, it will be better." ”

The fourth elder brother gave a big gift to Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu, thanked several mothers for his thoughtful marriage, and said that he was about to leave the palace, although the eighth elder brother is not small, but at least three or five years to spend in the palace, and the eleventh day is longer. He has no mother, and he will have no chance to enter and leave the inner palace in the future, so he will not be able to take care of his younger brothers, I hope that the two mothers can teach Yongxuan and Yongxuan well, and he will definitely repay the kindness of several in the future.

Yongxuan said: "The most important thing is Eniang's death, Yongxuan was still talking a few days ago, I scolded him." Everyone in the palace knows how Eniang died, but Huang Ama wants to give an explanation to the people of the world, and he can't let them see the jokes of the heavenly family, and the ministers can understand Huang Ama's helplessness. If Yongxuan and Yongxuan are entangled in this, please ask Niangniang to enlighten them more, if they are disobedient, they will send someone to find me, don't let them pester Huang Ama for this matter. ”

Several elders were silent, the fourth elder brother was still a child at this age, but he understood so many things, and he had the responsibility to be a big brother. In this way, it seems that the emperor owes them brothers, and where is the responsibility of being a father?

After that, he called the eighth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother and said a lot of things to ask them to be obedient, and the brothers were so pitiful that Hongyan couldn't stand it with a sour heart, so he left early.

But when they went out, they saw Concubine Xin sitting on her shoulders and going out, and they walked in front and didn't see Concubine Ling and her party here. Dai Jia's head was full of pearls and emeralds, and he sat high on the shoulders of the emperor who traveled on weekdays, and the weak and pitiful little beauty also had today.
