When Concubine Jia saw the emperor talking to her, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly called the fourth elder brother to her and told him to study well. Although the fourth elder brother is not smart, he is also a likable child, in the end, he is his own flesh and blood, how can Hongli not like it.

The Queen Mother sat on the side and watched, recalling the death of the second elder brother in the past, she was worried that the thin heirs of the emperor were not conducive to the inheritance of the clan, and now there are seven princes, large and small, and the seventh elder brother is a descendant of the middle palace, which can be described as a prosperous heir. Silently chanting the Buddha, sure enough, God blessed Aixin Jueluo and blessed her Hongli, looking forward to the early end of the Jinchuan Campaign, and only wishing the country and the people peace.

Seeing that the eighth elder brother and the seventh elder brother and her daughter were together, the pure concubine under the seat frowned slightly, but she didn't dare to show a strange expression, so she had to ruthlessly turn her gaze away. But the Queen Mother mentioned her at this moment and said, "Isn't it time for the sixth elder brother to go to the study?" Pure concubine, you are full of poetry and books, can you enlighten the sixth elder brother? ”

Concubine Chun had to get up, and her eyes fell on the three children playing together, and her heart was pounding, but she was uncomfortable, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she was just afraid, and others also felt that Concubine Chun was depressed because of the pain of losing her father, where did she know that Concubine Chun had other thoughts in her heart.

When the emperor saw her like this, he remembered the pain of her father's loss, and did not feel embarrassed, but said: "I have chosen a good enlightenment teacher for Yongying, and after the spring of next year, I will send Yongying to the study, you pay attention to teach him some rules, don't go to the study and cry endlessly, don't affect the other brothers to study." ”

Concubine Chun received the order and said yes, after thanking her, she heard the laughter of the children, raised her eyes and saw that the seventh elder brother and his daughter were feeding the eighth elder brother to eat, and even the eyes of the queen mother and the emperor were attracted to it, everyone looked at the three children with a smile, only the pure concubine had a tense face, or hugged the qin couldn't help but remind her and asked: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Chun relieved herself and saw Yongzhang Yongying sitting far away on her seat, so she instructed Baoqin: "You go to see Yongying, don't let him get close to other elder brothers and princesses." When she said this, the slender armor almost pinched into the flesh, and the Buddha was her blood and bones, if there were three long and two short......

Although the pure noble concubine was uneasy, the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve was finally completed, and when the banquet dispersed, the emperor turned over the sign of Zhongcui Palace, which was regarded as an explanation to the Empress Dowager, lest the Empress Dowager think that the emperor was partial to Yanxi Palace. After the emperor left, the concubines left in order, Concubine Jia came out with the eighth elder brother in her arms, and saw that the concubine was holding the little princess's hand and was about to walk back, so she pretended to be polite and said: "It's cold, let the princess sit in my sedan chair." ”

Hongyan saw that the eighth elder brother was already sleeping on Concubine Jia's shoulder, and it must be inconvenient to take another child, not to mention that even if the eighth elder brother was awake, she would not let Fo'er go with Concubine Jia, so she just said politely: "Niangniang, please go first, Ningshou Palace is not far from Yanxi Palace, Fo'er is greedy and greedy, just take a walk." ”

Concubine Jia because her son had a good time with the princess tonight, and she was treated with a good face, and she tasted such sweetness, even if she didn't like the red face, she also had the heart to take advantage of the little princess, so she said: "Let Fo'er play with Yongxuan more in the future, the princess likes our little brother very much." ”

Hongyan smiled politely, did not agree or shirk, Concubine Jia saw her attitude, and did not want to pull down her face, turned around and left with the sleeping eighth elder brother.

"Fo'er, shall we go back?" Hongyan took her daughter's hand, bent down and asked her, "Is Buddha sleepy?" ”

The little girl rubbed her eyes, obviously a little sleepy, Hongyan opened her hand, she took advantage of the situation to come up, the nurse saw this and wanted to come up to hug, Hongyan smiled and said: "Wait I can't hold it, you will come and hold again." ”

Everyone watched Concubine Ling leave with the little princess in her arms, thinking of the emperor's love for the princess, and the praise she received for thinking that the princess was well-raised, originally this woman who could not give birth to a child should have endured countless ridicule and ridicule, but it was as if God had arranged to give birth to such a mutilated child, so that she could make merit.

At this time, Concubine Chun had already returned to Xianfu Palace, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked Baoqin to mix soju with water to wash her hands and wipe her body for Yongying, and asked her to add Ai Ye to smoke the house in the stove, and did not let others interfere, only let Baoqin do it alone. Baoqin arranged everything, she was already frightened, this time the master didn't tell her anything, it was Mrs. Su who arranged everything outside, and the concubine must have already made a move now.

Concubine Chun repeatedly told her: "These days, don't have anything to do with the people of Qixiang Palace." ”

Huqin said: "But the third elder brother is in the study, and he always has to meet the fourth elder brother." ”

Concubine Chun shook her head and said, "Yongzhang has had chickenpox, don't be afraid." When Yongzhang comes back, you will wash and change clothes for him, and don't let him get close to Yongying. ”

Baoqin's eyes widened, looking at the master in astonishment, and a cold smile appeared on the lips of Concubine Chun: "Who would have thought that the queen would let the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother play together, I am also a gamble, if these children have a bad life, it will be no wonder to me." ”

"Mother, mother, but the princess ...... tonight" Huqin covered her mouth, not daring to say any more. She didn't know what her master had done, did she want to harm the eighth elder brother and avenge Concubine Jia's humiliation? But what about the seventh elder brother and the princess?

"She's not my daughter anymore." Concubine Chun's eyes were red, and she said frantically like bloodthirsty, "It's God who helps me, it's Amma's undead who refuses to let them go." ”

In Qixiang Palace, although Concubine Jia failed to invite the emperor to Qixiang Palace tonight, compared to the cold face before, the emperor was finally much more polite to her, she sat in front of the dressing table after bathing and changing clothes, smeared the rose paste that Liyun bought from outside the palace on her face, and said lovingly: "I can afford a rash on my face a few days ago, thanks to your thing, I can see the emperor refreshed today, otherwise I will have to apply a lot of rouge powder, and be said by the little slut of the Nalan clan." ”

Liyun was in good spirits, and she didn't have the strength to answer her master's words, Concubine Jia looked up and saw her like this, and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten or drunk, why are you drunk, let's rest early." Before the Chinese New Year, I will go out of the palace again, get me some, and I will take them to my family. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid explained the matter of the eighth elder brother, so she went to rest." Thinking that Liyun is in a hurry on weekdays, she is like half a master in Qixiang Palace, but in the middle of today's banquet, she felt weak and had a headache to crack, thinking that she was suffering from the wind and cold, and looked forward to drinking a bowl of ginger soup and going to bed early.

This frightened Concubine Jia a lot, and hurriedly asked people to carry Liyun back, but before she could make up her mind, the palace maid ran in a panic and said: "Eighth Elder Brother has a fever, Niangniang, Eighth Elder Brother has a rash on his body." ”

In Zhongcui Palace, the emperor just lay down, and was gossiping with Shu Concubine, and the palace people outside the door spread the word, saying that the eighth elder brother had a fever, because the people in Qixiang Palace did not mention the rash, the emperor asked the imperial doctor to take a look, but Shu Concubine advised: "The emperor just went to take a look, otherwise Concubine Jia will think that the concubine is bad, and will not let you care about the little elder brother." ”

Hongli only said: "Her temperament may not be unintentional, and let the imperial doctor take a look, if there is something, it will not be too late for me to go." ”

It's rare that the emperor is by his side, how can Concubine Shu be willing to let go easily, and she won't mention it again after being polite, and her soft voice makes the emperor go to Gentle Township.

But in the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door outside the hall, and at this time, the emperor had just fallen asleep after the cloud and rain, and Concubine Shu turned over and went to the door to reprimand: "What's the matter?" Concubine Jia again? ”

Outside the door, an anxious voice said: "Concubine Shu, it's news from Changchun Palace that the seventh elder brother has a fever." ”

Concubine Shu's heart tightened, the eighth elder brother didn't care, how could the seventh elder brother not take it seriously, and hurriedly called the palace maid to come in and light the candles, she ran back to the bed and woke up the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the seventh elder brother is sick, you go to Changchun Palace to have a look." ”

Hongli was confused in his dream, but he still said that the eighth elder brother, and when he heard clearly that the seventh elder brother was sick, he immediately turned over, Shu Concubine hurriedly dressed him, and the emperor left like a gust of wind. Chunmei sent the holy car back, and said strangely: "How can it be so coincidental, the eighth elder brother and the seventh elder brother are all sick." ”

However, it was not only the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother who were sick, Liyun of Qixiang Palace fell, the eighth elder brother's nurse also fell, and even a palace maid in Ningshou Palace suddenly had a high fever.

The next day, the emperor unprecedentedly dismissed the early dynasty, and there were no people from the Fucha family in the courtroom, and other officials wanted to go to the inner palace to inquire about the news, only to learn that the seventh elder brother had pox, and the eighth elder brother also had pox, but at the moment I don't know whether it was smallpox or chickenpox, and the emperor and empress had been watching in Changchun Palace all night.

In Yanxi Palace, Hongyan slept with the Buddha last night, she fell asleep because of eating wine, or was woken up by the cherry, sleepy-eyed learned that the seventh elder brother was sick, and immediately woke up, and the cherry saw that the little princess was safe, Amitabha Buddha said: "Fortunately, the princess is fine, just now the queen mother decreed, the six palaces are not allowed to leave the palace gate without permission, the slave maid inquired, it seems that the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother have acne rash." ”

"Chickenpox?" Hongyan's heart jumped suddenly, but chickenpox and smallpox, looking at the same symptoms, but the former can still save a life after careful treatment, and the latter is resigned to fate and has no cure. She didn't dare to say such a terrible word, and her heart was even more excited, and she hurriedly touched the Buddha who was still asleep, and saw that her body was just ordinary warm and not hot, so she was a little relieved.

But when the Buddha is full of energy, she wakes up before dawn every day, and it is really strange to be so sleepy today, Hongyan suddenly became uneasy again, and asked Cherry if she could still announce that the imperial doctor would come in, and she took off the Buddha's clothes, and carefully examined her body, and when a red rash appeared in front of her in the crook of her arm, Hongyan felt that the sky was collapsed.

"Cherry, tell me quickly...... Hurry up and announce that Doctor He, Buddha also has a rash. Hongyan was tense all over, and there were bursts of cold sweat on her back, what was going on, why did the children have an accident overnight?
