Concubine Shouqi gave the inheritance to Hongyan, the emperor knew about it, but he thought that the concubine just left some for Hongyan, and at this moment he heard that it was a lifetime property, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "The imperial grandmother gave you all the money?" ”

Hongyan hurriedly said: "Naturally, Concubine Wenhui and Mama Yuzhi also have a share, but the concubine has a lot of property, and even if she does, she won't share much." ”

Concubine Shouqi was born in Tong Jia's family, the maternal grandfather of Kangxi in the past, known as the big family of Tong Banchao, before entering the customs, it was a wealthy Liaodong family, and it was the Eight Banners that took the family to defect to the gold and silver. The concubine's own sister is Empress Xiaoyi, who raised the first emperor, and when the first emperor was the prince, he traveled around the court, and also benefited from the gold and silver prepared for him by his adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyi, and the support of the Tong Jia family. Unexpectedly, going around and around, now Concubine Shouqi has given this favor to Hongyan.

But Hongli looked inside the palace again and again, and really couldn't see any signs of a red face in this Yanxi Palace, so he couldn't help but say: "Where did you hide the money?" ”

Hongyan explained: "The concubine knew that it was inconvenient to bring it into the deep palace, one was to prevent thieves from being troublesome, and the other was to arouse jealousy, so she handed it over to Ruyin at that time and asked Ruyin to keep it for the concubine." And because of the reluctance to give up the death of the concubine at that time, he was full of sadness, and he didn't count how many things he took, that is, after Mama Yuzhi handed it over to the concubine, the concubine let Ruyin take it away. ”

The Emperor smiled, "You guys are really good. ”

Hongyan smiled: "It's like being sisters in the previous life, and I hate to see each other late in this life." ”

Hongli was proud: "You see, if you don't marry me, you can meet Ruyin, and you can't be sisters, so it can be seen that you are destined to marry me in your previous life." ”

Hongyan Jiao: "The emperor is not doing right, people are discussing important matters with you, is the emperor willing that the queen mother and the queen mother have a dislike for this, it is a happy thing, but the emperor has an idea." You give a number there, and the concubine asks Ruyin to send the money in. ”

Hongli pointed at his daughter and smiled: "You can see that little Buddha can hear it, she must be thinking, where is Eniang going to send my dowry?" ”

Hongyan looked down at her daughter, the little girl's big watery eyes were out of concentration, as if she understood what the adults said, Hongyan teased her, she babbled, grabbed the dishes in the bowl and stuffed them into her mouth, Hongyan ate by herself, looked at the emperor and said: "The concubine is serious, don't joke with the emperor." ”

Hongli said: "I am also serious, you are not stupid, the money should be spent in a useful place, if you give it to him and respect, I will not stop it, but if you want to use it to supplement the Queen Mother, you don't have to." He Jing is not short of dowry, if you really want to balance the queen mother and the queen, it should be me and the queen to discuss, not you should bother. ”

Hongyan thought that she was not qualified to take care of these things, so she lowered her head and wiped her mouth and fed the Buddha, but she didn't want the emperor to say: "The silver is hidden by yourself, I know that you are not short of gold and silver, and I am a little less worried." Don't say that I don't want you to pay this money, but I want you to be thoughtful, and I don't want you to be an unsung hero. But at the moment, the Queen Mother is still wary of you, she will come to you in a bad way, live up to your kindness, if one day the Queen Mother treats you well and values you, everything will be different. ”

The emperor did not shy away from saying in front of him that the queen mother was not, although it was not a nasty word, but he was so considerate of his own mind, how could Hongyan not be moved, and there was a smile on his face, it can be seen that Hongli was not very happy to say: "I am rich in the world, and I still want you to help me solve these things?" ”

Hongyan smiled innocently: "The concubines are all the emperor's, and the concubines' money is naturally also the emperor's money, and what else do they share with each other." ”

The emperor liked it, stretched out his hand and rubbed his daughter's cheek and said, "Fo'er, your mother is becoming more and more able to speak now, isn't it." ”

But Hongyan didn't forget to remind: "This is the words of Concubine Yu, the emperor should not forget the credit of Concubine Yu." ”

Hongli bowed: "I know in my heart that if I treat Yongqi well, I will treat her well, and she understands in her heart." ”

Later, the emperor discussed with the queen, and how they solved it I don't know, but listening to the words conveyed by Concubine Yu, the emperor did send a lot of things to Ningshou Palace, but where did those things come from, and there was no account in the palace. I am afraid that the queen will give some of the dowry she prepared for her daughter to the queen mother, in the words of Concubine Yu: "Anyway, it is all for the princess, and the queen is not wronged, and she is respected by the emperor." ”

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, the excitement of the New Year gradually dissipated, and the New Year was spent busily, and in February, the Korqin Borzigit clan entered Beijing. On the day of arriving in Beijing, Sebuteng Balezhur wore python clothes and received orders from the Qianqing Sect to perform the ceremony of three kneeling and nine knocks, and will enter the palace before the initial date, eight horses and one camel, which is called the 19th ceremony. On the initial day, the palace will hold a banquet in the Baohe Hall and Ningshou Palace, and the Efu family will pay tribute to the things needed for the banquet according to the rules, so before that, Hongyan and Concubine Yu have the opportunity to meet with the Efu family to determine the banquet.

So before the wedding, even the queen avoided seeing her son-in-law, but Hongyan had the opportunity to see and respect her sweetheart, after a long absence, the bride to be married became more and more beautiful and stable, but a fiery heart has never cooled down, and now she is only separated by a wall from her future husband, compared to the distance of thousands of mountains and rivers, she can't hold back the mood of seeing each other.

On this day, Hongyan got up in the morning and put on makeup, dressed in court clothes and wanted to wait for Concubine Yu to meet with the clansmen of the Borzigit clan, and the emperor specially sent another grandmother who combed her hair to dress up Hongyan, and at that time, Cherry came in from outside, whispered to Hongyan, and Hongyan couldn't help laughing: "Are you still outside?" ”

Cherry smiled and said, "Here, the slave doesn't dare to come forward to greet her, for fear that the princess will be embarrassed." ”

Hongyan got up and looked in front of the mirror, then walked out the door, and sure enough, as soon as she went out, she saw Hejing's figure wandering in the corner of the wall, as soon as she saw herself, she was about to hide, Hongyan hurriedly followed her and called her, held her hand and asked, "Why don't you enter my door, how long has it been?" Look, my hands are cold, and it's still cold in February. ”

The clever cherry at the back hurriedly picked up the hand stove, Hongyan covered the princess's hand warmly, and said gently: "Wait a minute, I will definitely show you a good look, whether you are taller, fatter or thinter, whether it is darker than last year, I will show you well." ”

He Jing's face turned red, don't turn his face and pretend to be hard: "I don't know what you're talking about, who are you going to see, and what does it have to do with me." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Then I don't care about anything." ”

He Jingyi was in a hurry, his eyes were full of pity in the autumn waves, so that Hongyan looked straight and soft-hearted, and affectionately crossed his arms and said: "Good princess, there are still things you don't wish, you go to play with Buddha for a while, and Concubine Yu and I will be back soon." ”

As she spoke, she pushed He Jing into the door, and He Jing took her hand shyly and said, "You can come back earlier." ”

Let's say that on the day of the initial appointment, the forehead entered the banquet with 90 seats, 81 sheep, and 45 bottles of wine, which were handed over to Guanglu Temple and organized the palace banquet. In addition to the emperor and prince, there are also princes, Manchu and Han ministers, scholars, princes living in Beijing Horqin and people with top belts in the Eyu clan. Its banquet is secondary to the Ministry of Rites to write a red-headed card, and ask the emperor to appoint it. In addition, the ceremonial department and the music club will also draw a picture of the banquet etiquette with yellow mounting paper, so please take a look. On the day before the initial ceremony, all the people who attended the banquet and the officials of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Guanglu Temple, Hongjia Temple, and the Ministry of Rites gathered in the inner court to perform the ceremony.

There are rules to follow inside and outside the palace, there are people in the palace who are good at handling and managing this matter, and there are also ministers in the court who have experienced several generations of royal marriages, and there are also elders in the Fucha Fu Heng clan who know the rules here.

But Hongyan and Concubine Yu are both first-time experiences, the two are cautious everywhere and careful in everything, not rude in front of the prince of Horqin, impartial in the six palaces, fair and transparent, clear accounts, the two have cooperated tacitly in the past six months, and handled everything very properly, the emperor and queen are in their eyes, the six palaces are in their eyes, and the queen mother is even more in their eyes.

On this day, the prince of Horqin planned the matters of the initial date, Hongyan and Concubine Yu Yizai carefully looked at the changes in the future forehead, and sure enough, it was the age of the long body, and the tall and mighty Sebuteng Balezhur who came last year was now even more heroic, although the complexion was dark, but the appearance was handsome, and the eyes were kind, and he was a reliable appearance.

Hongyan returned, naturally there were many things to say to Hejing, and Concubine Yu went to Ningshou Palace to return to the Queen Mother and the Queen. What Concubine Yu didn't expect was that the Queen Mother asked her about Concubine Ling.

However, the Queen Mother seemed embarrassed to ask Wei Hongyan directly how she was, and the topic went around and around to get the point, but Concubine Yu already understood what the Queen Mother wanted to know, and told her what she could say without waiting for the Queen Mother to ask directly. is nothing more than how Hongyan works hard, how smart and careful, and more importantly, she is low-key, even if she is clearly more open than Concubine Yu in front of the emperor and queen, she also shows respect for Concubine Yu everywhere, and there is no half of arrogance.

The Queen Mother listened, frowned slightly, and asked Concubine Yu: "In your eyes, is there no place where she is not?" ”

Concubine Yu thought to herself that if she admitted it, wouldn't she say that the Queen Mother had always had nothing to do for many years and deliberately provoked the concubines, so she responded euphemistically: "The concubines and the concubines get along, but they are just doing things and talking about common things, you also know that the emperor is indifferent to the concubines, and there is no conflict of interest between the concubines, and the good is not much better, and the bad is not too bad." When the concubine and the concubine get along like this, they really don't think there is anything wrong with her, natural people have many faces, and the concubines can't see everything. ”

But what Concubine Yu didn't expect was that the Queen Mother asked her: "I heard that the concubine has a lot of money in her waist and has a private gold and silver exchange with the Fucha family. ”

Concubine Yu was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand the Queen Mother, there is no gold and silver from Concubine Ling's hands, the Queen Mother is in charge of those things, and the concubine and Concubine Ling are just hands." ”
