But Hongli was sleepy after all, and after this sentence, he fell asleep without waiting for Hongyan to answer, and Hongyan listened to his steady and even breathing, and was soon taken to sleep. On the way to Changchun Palace to pay respects, she remembered that the emperor asked her if she would follow the queen out of the city to worship silkworms in March.

The gift of pro-silkworms is that the queen and the concubines order the women to sacrifice the ancestors of the silkworms, raise silkworms and weave silk together with the peasant women, and the day when the red face went to the Xianfu Palace to salute, the emperor has ordered the pure concubine to go with him, and the concubines and concubines in the palace want to accompany them, but the red face is only a humble constant, not necessarily able to accompany it, the queen has not mentioned it so far, and the emperor's tone last night, I don't know whether I want her to go or don't want her to go.

Today, the six palaces gathered, talking about the miscarriage of Shu Concubine, the queen told everyone to be careful of the body, not to be careless about the imperial heir, and instructed the hospital to ask for peace for the palaces, the beginning of spring is a good time to stretch the muscles and bones to regulate the body. But the queen was a heart, but it caused others to be mean, when everyone dispersed, Jia Concubine stood outside the gate of Changchun Palace and sneered in public: "The queen mother is also instructed in vain, who of us has the luck to conceive the emperor's heir now, except for Shu Concubine, the queen mother only needs to tell Wei Chang to be alone, in the eyes of the emperor now, where are we still like us?" ”

Concubine Xian never paid attention to this, and left quietly, Concubine Chun was also a cold person in front of people, but she was entangled by Concubine Jia, shouting him and asking: "The joy of the full moon of the sixth elder brother, even if it is fooled by the Lantern Festival, seeing that it is going to be a hundred days, I don't mention it to celebrate." My hard-working sister worked hard to give birth to an imperial heir, but in the end, it was too late for a little beauty to seduce people, I was really not worth it for the sixth elder brother. ”

Concubine Chun glanced at her, and saw that the concubines around her who were waiting for a few maidens to go first all looked at her with strange eyes, Concubine Chun was feeling strange, Hongyan was coming out of the door, and everyone's eyes were looking at her again, Concubine Jia sneered: "Naturally, the emperor treats his sister differently, and even Wei Chang has to accompany him personally when he goes to ask for peace, for fear that you will eat Wei Chang's presence." ”

As soon as Hongyan heard that she was talking about herself, Concubine Jia's charming eyes were full of jealousy and hatred, and she said that she was afraid that Concubine Chun would eat herself, and she was the one who wanted to eat herself alive. ”

Qianya is now quite decent, representing the queen's words and deeds, Concubine Jia does not want to provoke her to go to the queen to talk about her own no, what she wants to say, she sat on her shoulders and left, the pure concubine was only out of confinement not long ago, and there were warm sedan chairs to travel, and a few concubines were dispersed at the moment, and it was the turn of the nobles to leave.

It's just that there are not many people who go to the East Sixth Palace, and not long after Hongyan walked out, she met Yu Concubine waiting for her halfway, it is rare that there is a person in this palace who can talk well, she caught up with the first few steps, Yu Concubine smiled: "Go slowly, didn't the queen just say, let the sisters be careful with their bodies, don't be careless." ”

Hongyan was slightly ashamed, shook his head and said, "The concubine is not." ”

Concubine Yu sighed lightly: "It's a pity that Concubine Shu, the Queen Mother should talk to her in vain, fortunately, the sixth elder brother was born not long ago, otherwise it will not be peaceful." ”

She looked at Hongyan, thinking that she was now the first person outside the Middle Palace, and it was a topic of conversation everywhere, so she cheered up and smiled: "Concubine Jianiang is that mouth, you learned it in your early years, but you don't have much real ability, you see that I used to be in Qixiang Palace, and I didn't have anything to do with her." She said bad things, that is, she wanted to be cheap, don't take it to heart, you can't get along with yourself if you worry about her. As for the other sisters who are far away from you, you don't have to care about this so-called favor, one day you are in a high position, they will naturally get along with you. ”

Hongyan's heart was relieved, and he said: "Thank you Niangniang for explaining, although the concubines understand these truths in their hearts, but when they really come to the door, listening to those words, they will inevitably feel unhappy." Listening to your words, the concubine's heart is much more comfortable. ”

Concubine Yu said: "Not to mention that the emperor likes you so much, the future is immeasurable, even people like me will eventually come out of the way." She looked at Hongyan with deep meaning, as if she was worried that she would talk too much, but she really wanted to say, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, "I always think that as long as you take the right path, people will definitely have a head in this life. ”

Hongyan smiled knowingly: "Remember, concubines." ”

The two arrived first in Yanxi Palace, which should have been separated, Hongyan suddenly thought that since he came back, except for a few promised and official women who came to the door according to etiquette, there has not been a serious guest in the palace, and the night of the Lantern Festival attracted a thief, Yu Concubine has always treated her well, Hongyan said: "If Niangniang doesn't dislike it, it's good to rest in Yanxi Palace, I don't know if the fifth elder brother will wait for Eniang at home." ”

Concubine Yu said happily: "Just because you don't invite me, it's not good for me to come casually, in case I come and delay the emperor to come to see you, I won't be a person inside and out, but our Yongqi has always been thinking about Wei Chang's presence." She instructed Bai Li, "Go and bring Yongqi and tell her that Wei Changzai is going to play with him." ”

And the people of Yanxi Palace saw the guests, and they were always popular with Yu Concubine Niangniang, all of them served diligently, tea, melons and fruits were placed on a table, and it didn't take long for the fifth elder brother to be brought in, Cherry and Xiao Lingzi teased the fifth elder brother to play, and Hongyan came to the door from time to time to advise: "You have to be careful." ”

And Concubine Yu has already carefully looked at Hongyan's residence, compared to when she lived in the palace in Jingyang Palace, Hongyan was obviously more carefully arranged here, the door of Yanxi Palace opened and closed several times, every time she heard that she was going back, the result was empty, and Hongyan only returned after the concubine left for more than half a year, and this house was dotted countless times in the past six months, all of which were the queen's intentions.

The queen attaches so much importance to a woman who should have been a thorn in her heart, if it is not to fulfill the emperor's wishes, there should be another article in it. But Concubine Yu knew in her heart that there was no need to be so clear, the important thing was that the emperor liked to be red-faced, and he was once a pillow person, and the emperor was a little affectionate and focused, and he knew it in his heart.

"Niangniang, you use tea." Hongyan stepped forward to send the freshly brewed tea to Yu Concubine, and Yu Concubine recognized the aroma as a tribute tea also used by the Queen Mother in Ningshou Palace, and did not say anything about gold and rare things, but promised that people who are often in this position really can't touch these.

"Is this the tea rewarded by the emperor, or the tea rewarded by the mother?" Concubine Yu asked.

"It's the tea that Fucha Fujin gave to his concubines." Hongyan said truthfully, "If you like it, there are still some unopened ones, and the concubines will send someone to Jingyang Palace." ”

Concubine Yu waved her hand and drank tea before smiling: "Fucha Fujin is really rich, and he has a heart." This is the royal tribute tea, I am afraid that if the emperor rewards it to Lord Fucha, or the queen mother rewards her, she will use it to entertain you with guests with full dignity. Or when the emperor comes up, he can also like to drink. ”

Hongyan smiled and said: "The emperor doesn't use tea much, and the guests ......" She showed a helpless look, "It is the honor of the concubine that Niangniang is willing to appreciate the light today." ”

Concubine Yu gently stroked the pattern on the lid of the tea bowl, and wanted to say something, but seeing her chubby son running in from outside and crashing into Hongyan's arms, he was not polite at all, and Hongyan saw that the fifth elder brother was sweating, for fear that he would catch a cold, so she called the palace maid to bring hot water and carefully wiped his sweat for him.

Concubine Yu didn't speak or interfere on the side, waiting for her son to come to her for a long time, he teased the child and asked, "Does Yongqi like Wei Changzai?" The little guy was a little shy, and ran to hug her skirt under her knees.

Concubine Yu once said to the concubine that Hongyan is different from others, not that she can be together if she wants to be almost wooed, but now she is polite to herself, maybe she still thinks about the good old days, but she is afraid that if she takes a few more steps forward, she should retreat.

"Yongqi, don't scratch Wei Chang's embroidery on the robe." Concubine Yu said, let the nurse come and hug the fifth elder brother, she got up and said that she was leaving, and said with a smile, "It's time to disperse, you know." ”

Hongyan couldn't stop him, and personally sent it to the gate of Yanxi Palace, the fifth elder brother was still reluctant to leave, Hongyan coaxed him very patiently, and when he hugged the fifth elder brother, he suddenly heard Yu Concubine say beside him: "I also want to come and talk to you often, but there are many rights and wrongs in the palace, and I am not afraid that they will chew their tongues, but I am afraid that my sister will think more about my intentions." I got close to the concubine, and I was talked about for more than ten years, but when the concubine was just a concubine, I got along with her, and after I became a concubine, thanks to the concubine's mother, we are still as close as we were back then, but in the eyes of others, it may not be so. ”

Hongyan once followed the queen's side, and heard with her own ears that she saw the helplessness and sadness of the former Hai nobles, and even the queen recognized and was willing to help, Concubine Yu would never be a bad person, the concubine Niangniang reminded that even if Hongyan did not show the dew, the emperor's grace alone was enough to make others want to slap her up, and she had to take care of all kinds of human relationships.

"The concubine really likes the fifth elder brother, if the mother does not dislike it, please bring the fifth elder brother to play from time to time, if the concubine allows, the concubine is also willing to go to Jingyang Palace often to sit." Hongyan responded euphemistically to Concubine Yu's words, "It's just that the mother often serves in front of the Queen Mother, and the concubine is afraid that she will cause you trouble." ”

Concubine Yu smiled: "Serving the Queen Mother is filial piety, and the intimacy of sisters is affection, so let's say it." ”

She took her son from Hongyan's arms, and the good mood was reflected on her face, and she wanted to say something, but when she saw the figure of Manager Wu coming to this side, she smiled and said: "In the future, my sister will often go to my place, you see that I haven't left yet, and Manager Wu will come to pick people up." ”

Hongyan turned around and saw that Chief Manager Wu came in a hurry with two apprentices, it must have been the emperor who wanted him to pass on something, and Concubine Yu didn't wait for him to step forward, so she took the fifth elder brother away first.
