After saying this, the queen let go of the hand holding Hongyan, but the steps under her feet did not stop, Hongyan cautiously followed behind her, until she reached the long bridge, the queen said: "No need to send it, the concubine can't leave you." ”

Hongyan curtsied and bowed, "Congratulations to the queen." ”

The queen looked down at the people on the ground, she was no longer the small lump she used to be, she had grown up, she had become a real woman, she had avoided the distractions of the Forbidden City, she had quietly transformed into a grown-up here, she followed the path she had forcibly pushed her on, and she was getting better and better.

"Hongyan, I'll wait for you to come back." The queen smiled faintly, turned around and walked onto the long bridge, and countless palace maids and eunuchs hugged her, she was the queen of the main palace, the most noble woman in the country.

Waiting for the queen to cross the long bridge and board the phoenix, the mighty team embarked on the return journey, Hongyan stood up cautiously, and the other side of the bridge was dusty, so that Hongyan, who was in the Qingming world, could not see the situation on the other side, and when the dust cleared, the queen's phoenix chariot had already gone away.

And Hongyan knew that she would soon have to cross the long bridge and blend into the chaotic world, but the concubine said to her, "Didn't you come from there?" ”

"Master, let's go back." Cherry stepped forward to help, and Hongyan was also thinking about the concubine in her heart, so she turned around and left.

On this side, the phoenix galloped away, the queen opened the curtain to look at the scene outside the car, and everything on the side of the road quickly disappeared from her eyes, but the concubine's words pressed heavily on her heart.

The concubine said that she could see the queen's state of mind clearly, others may not be able to see it clearly, maybe even the queen mother knew it in her heart, but she was the most noble woman in the world, she stood high above the clouds, most people were not qualified, and only a few qualified people would not necessarily say it. In fact, she lives self-righteously, in the eyes of others, but that's it.

"I'm just relying on it, Hongli has me in his heart." Tears appeared in the queen's eyes, it turned out that everything she was struggling with had always been by her side, and what had supported her willfulness for so many years was her husband's love. Hongli unreservedly tolerated everything about her, but she always felt that her husband was still the fourth elder brother of the year, Prince Bao back then, struggling with those impossible things, the past was now, if it is in the future, her life of Fucha Anyi is destined to live like this.

In the Forbidden City, Hongli was anxiously waiting for his wife's return in the inner palace, and when the couple saw each other from afar, the queen's eyes were moist again, but she hid her tears, and when she walked to Hongli, she was still the gentle and generous Anyi, Hongli asked: "Grandmother is fine, why did she come back so early?" I was going to go with you, but when I was about to go out, they said you were already on your way back. ”

"The concubine and the concubine talked a lot, talking about the situation when we were five or six years old." An Yi looked at her husband deeply, "If you are free, go to Yingtai more often, the concubine will raise you, and don't let the old man go alone in the last days." ”

The emperor bowed his head and took the queen back to Changchun Palace, and saw He Jing standing under the eaves waiting, the little girl stood out slim, like her father, and was about to catch up with the queen. The queen beckoned her to come to her, and her daughter immediately ran over, and the family of three entered, and everything seemed peaceful and beautiful.

And that evening, there was movement here in the East Sixth Palace, and someone saw that the people from the Internal Affairs Office went to open the Yanxi Palace, and quietly cleaned it up and down.

The news traveled to the West Sixth Palace, several palace concubines had just withdrawn from Xianfu Palace, and they were politely sent to the door with the qin, and after they walked away, the little eunuch in front of the door said to her: "Yanxi Palace is open, as if it is going to take who to live in, the slave went to inquire, and the head just said to ask someone to clean it, and did not name who it was." ”

Baoqin relayed these words to Concubine Chun, who protected her unmanifested belly with one hand, and said coldly: "The emperor went to Yingtai today, but I am afraid that it has nothing to do with the concubine, and it is special to see that Wei Hongyan." ”

"I didn't expect to come back." Hug the piano and said.

"It would have been nice if we had been able to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots." Concubine Chun frowned, looked down at her belly, in addition to the queen, she will be the second person in this palace to give birth to two children for the emperor, and when everything is getting better and better, that little beauty will come back again.

Baoqin looked at the master worriedly, since the emperor in the Old Summer Palace embarrassed her mother, the master has changed as if she was a person, she had to help do something against her will over the years, as a result, the master and servant fell deeper and deeper, and even Baoqin couldn't remember what kind of person she was before. Always afraid that the past will be discovered, so she has to do something to cover it up, and now Wei promised to go back to the palace, she was worried that Wei promised to find out about them for the sake of the things of the year.

But in the past so long, if something has happened a long time ago, it is disgusting and void, which will make people panic every day, and Baoqin even thinks that she will simply become a wicked person, is she not afraid. And when she looked at her master, she felt that she seemed to have embarked on this road, how could outsiders imagine that the cold and bookish pure concubine Niangniang could say such ruthless words as cutting grass and eradicating roots.

Concubine Chun said disgustedly: "The heir I have been looking forward to in the palace for so long is now so easy to have, but my Xianfu Palace is deserted." It's okay about the concubine, but the emperor and the queen began to revolve around the little promise, they didn't take my hard work in their eyes at all, but they were afraid that they wouldn't put this child in their eyes in the future, so what I wanted could only fight for it myself. ”

Baoqin was silent on the side, but the master suddenly called her: "Concubine Jia's place has been too quiet recently, the palace is frighteningly deserted, find something to make her feel better, no one makes a fuss, they all have to forget that there are others in this palace." ”

"The fourth elder brother's health has not been very good, and she has no time to make a fuss now." Baoqin said, "But today this matter spreads, she must not be happy, but she and Na Wei promised that the person who really has a holiday must not be able to live in peace." ”

Concubine Chun sneered: "I'll wait to see the excitement." ”

With the reopening of Yanxi Palace, all palaces have calculations, but the next morning the emperor dispersed the court and went to Yingtai, which made the concubines realize that the concubine limit was approaching. In Yikun Palace, Hua Rong found a few plain clothes, the master is now in the concubine position, even if he is not publicized on weekdays, he is also full of wealth, but if the concubine dies, there will be a period of mourning in the palace, and these clothes will be used at that time.

Because it was the clothes made in the early years of Qianlong, and now it has to be changed according to the size of the master, Concubine Xian is at the mercy of Hua Rong, Hua Rong casually talks about things in the palace, originally to relieve the boredom of the master, but even if Wei promised her, she would not have any reaction, but suddenly, Concubine Xian asked her: "The funeral of the concubine, will Brother Fu Qing come back to participate?" ”

Hua Rong's heart twitched, and he nodded in a daze: "According to the rules, it is coming, but it probably doesn't matter if you don't come, it depends on what specifications the emperor holds for the concubine Niangniang, I am afraid that the concubine will be low-key in her life, and she will also live in Yingtai in the coming days, and she will leave a message to the emperor to keep everything simple after her death." ”

Concubine Xian frowned slightly, and didn't seem to be very happy: "Even if it's from Jane, he should come back." ”

"Niangniang, ...... you" Hua Rong felt a chill in her heart, Concubine Xian didn't care about the life and death of the concubine at all, she seemed to be looking forward to the concubine Niangniang's early arrival in Bliss, so that she could bring Fu Erye back, but the embarrassment at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that year, had she forgotten? Second Master Fu and Mrs., but they treat her like a plague god.

All kinds of thoughts in the palace are growing silently, but this side of Yingtai is as peaceful as usual, the emperor came to visit his grandmother for two days in a row, the concubine did not drive him away, nor did he keep him to stay, but just met every day to talk, in the eyes of Hongli and Hongyan, the spirit of the concubine seemed to be better, but the imperial doctor said that the pulse was weak and the body did not improve, and even reminded the emperor to be prepared, it is likely to be a return to the light.

The emperor's heart was heavy, but he could still beat his spirit and laugh with the concubine, and Hongyan also quietly accompanied him. Listening to the concubine's memories of the past, talking about how the emperor was likable when he was a child, talking about how she was blamed by Kangxi because she doted on Hongli too much, and talking about the emperor hunting and fighting tigers with Kangxi when he was so old, the concubine's life seems to be living in the memories of Kangxi Ye, from the first year of Yongzheng to the present more than 20 years, there are very few memories that can be left.

That day, the concubine said that she was tired and wanted to rest, and persuaded the emperor to return to the palace earlier, Hongli didn't dare to force it, but when she got up to leave, the concubine suddenly said: "Hongli, after I leave, don't be in a hurry to take Hongyan back, let her and Concubine Wen Hui stay here for a while, and when she takes Concubine Wen Hui back to the palace in the future, she will take Hongyan back with her." You have to treat her well and stop being bullied by people. ”

Hongyan bit her lip on the side to hold back her sadness, at this moment the concubine seemed to be already explaining what was after her death, but the concubine's breath was stable and did not look like she was leaving, no matter what, Hongli agreed one by one, and only waited for the concubine to feel at ease before he left.

Hongyan was only sent outside the door, she didn't want to leave the concubine for too long, Hongli looked at her when she left, and only said one sentence in her heart: "You have to take care of yourself, the imperial grandmother has finally thought about it in this world." ”

"Is it a concubine?" Hongyan asked.

"Grandmother has no children, she should treat you as her own." Hongli said, opening his arms and embracing Hongyan into his arms, "The words of the imperial grandmother today, I will remember them in my heart for the rest of my life." After my grandmother is gone, I will be your support, don't be afraid, I will go down with you in the future. ”

"Your Majesty......" Hongyan pressed against his chest and said softly, "I'll wait for you to pick me up." ”
