Baiguan stopped in front of the long bridge and watched the emperor walk over, and there was a young lady waiting on the other side of the bridge. After she made a big salute in a righteous manner, the emperor and her both went to the inner palace, and the backs of a pair of people seemed to be a real match, and everyone knew that it was a promise to live here with Concubine Shouqi. Among the crowd, Fu Heng was also among them.

Three days after that, the emperor personally paid tribute to the Emperor Concubine Zigong of Shouqi, but after that, everything was simple from the funeral, and in May, the concubine was posthumously honored as the emperor's ancestor Hui Huang Guifei, and the emblem of Concubine Wen Hui was sealed, and it was decreed that Concubine Wen Hui would recover and return to the capital immediately.

However, there is no fixed number of days when Concubine Wenhui is healthy, and the funeral of the old concubine did not make them bother much, but they were enthusiastically looking forward to the return of Wei's little beauty, but it was empty, she still lived quietly in Yingtai, and the emperor was not only not in a hurry to take her back, but even had almost no visits on weekdays. On the contrary, after the funeral of the concubine, it was announced that for the first time since ascending the throne, she served the Empress Dowager Yishengjing and the Mausoleum, watching the scenery of various places along the way, hunting and hunting, and the only one who accompanied the Yongling, Fuling and Zhaoling was the queen.

When leaving the palace in July, the queen and the queen mother called Concubine Xian to her, and entrusted the affairs of the six palaces to her alone, including the pregnant concubine, and asked her to go to Xianfu Palace from time to time to pay attention.

In this way, when Concubine Chun gave birth to the third elder brother, the palace was busy with the affairs of the first emperor and no one took care of her, and after eight years, she once again became the hero of Aixin Jueluo, and the emperor actually took the queen mother and the queen to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers.

In the end, it was the former side Fujin and the current concubine Xian to take care of the pregnant concubine, she couldn't say what she was suffering about, and she had to accept it in the face of Concubine Xian's concern.

There are rumors in the palace that there are still concubines above Concubine Xian and Concubine Chun, and it is because of the concubine's poor health, but she can also be allowed to co-manage the six palaces with Concubine Xian, but it is almost as if she does not exist. In the leak case of Layue last year, the two people involved in the case, including Erong Anfa Juntai, were still walking in the study, but Zhong Yongtan, who was close to the Gao family, died in prison, and he died before the emperor could convict him.

Whether the emperor secretly executed this person, or the Gao clan killed him for fear of revealing more secrets, there were different opinions inside and outside the palace, if it weren't for the death of Concubine Shouqi diluted this topic, the concubine was worried every day in the Chuxiu Palace, and the emperor treated her now, it was not as good as before. The concubine often said in front of Concubine Yu that she would be burdened by the family sooner or later, and this life would not last long.

So look at the current situation of the Sixth Palace, Concubine Xian has been assisting the queen since her early years, and now she is not in the main palace and she will pick up the beam alone, although Concubine Chun is in the concubine position, it is difficult to say that she is pregnant now, but I am afraid that she has no children in her belly, and the queen mother will not hand over these things to her.

Privately mentioning who is higher and who is lower among concubines, Concubine Chun understands very well: "Once the concubine is gone, it should be the concubine who is respected." This sentence was not unusual, but what made Baoqin tremble when he heard it was: "But if the queen is gone, I don't want to give it to her easily." ”

It's just that Concubine Xian doesn't care about all this, because Concubine Shouqi's funeral is simple, Fu Qing did not rush back from the Orkun River, and after Concubine Xian's hope of seeing him was disappointed, she was very interested in everything.

This time she was appointed to stay in the capital to manage the six palaces, and she accepted it in a daze, and only when the emperor and queen mother left Beijing did she suddenly understand what she was going to do. Fortunately, there is no big deal in the palace, but every few days she has to hand the fold out to inform the emperor and the queen mother of the situation in the palace, and she has to come to Chuxiu Palace from time to time to visit Concubine Chun.

It seems to have returned to the old palace again, when the family was busy and no one cared about the pregnant Su Gege, and the side Fujin Nala clan became her dependence. It's just that the two people with a huge disparity in status at that time are now in the emperor's concubine position, and Concubine Xian is still the same as in the past, but Concubine Chun will already be the mother of two children.

Thinking of the old love, Concubine Xian is the only person who can be treated by Concubine Chun in a friendly way, and Concubine Xian's peaceful and demure temperament, she doesn't need to bother to say too much whenever they meet, they just simply chat a few words, sit for a while and disperse.

It's August in a blink of an eye, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is not presided over by the emperor and the queen mother, the palace is deserted, but a few concubines walk around, when the concubine comes to visit the pot-bellied pure concubine, there are other concubines are also there, everyone has seen the ceremony and sat down, the people here continue the topic of Fangcai, someone said: "I heard that this time the official transfer, involving a wide range, the queen's brothers added officials to the knighthood, the youngest brother Fucha Fu Heng was promoted to the right servant of the household, and he will go to Shanxi to be the governor in September, The Fucha lord, who was far away in the Orkun River, was also going back to Beijing. ”

The concubine should not be talking about the government, but this kind of thing that has been spread, occasionally gossip, as long as no one pursues it, it is nothing, the pure concubine is idle and listens, but when she heard this sentence, she saw that Concubine Xian's eyes lit up. This person, who seemed to be indifferent to anything, actually showed a rare expression, at least Concubine Chun had known Concubine Xian for so many years, and it was the first time she had seen her such a shining gaze.

After the dispersal, Concubine Chun stood in front of the door and watched the sisters leave, Concubine Xian was in a hurry, obviously in a hurry to do something, hugged the qin and asked the master to rest, but Concubine Chun asked: "Do you remember, on the fiftieth birthday of the Queen Mother, you told me what you bumped into?" ”

Baoqin shook her head, she couldn't remember it for too long, and asked her master: "What does Niangniang remember?" ”

Concubine Chun frowned slightly, and asked Baoqin: "That day, you bumped into the second master of the Fucha family and Concubine Xian together, although the second lady of their family was also there, but you said that they were walking one after the other, looking very embarrassed, and the expressions on the faces of the second master Fu and his wife were very strange. Do you remember? ”

After being mentioned by the master, Baoqin remembered it, recalled the situation at that time, and said: "Especially the second lady's expression, as if she had met a plague god. ”

Concubine Chun showed a faint smile on her face, she was already a victor, touched her round belly, there was a smug look in her eyes that could not be concealed, and she whispered: "This is easy to do." ”

The holy driver returned to Beijing from Shengjing, because of the service of the Queen Mother, the progress was slow, only in November just arrived at the suburbs, when it was already snowing heavily, but Shengjing had already entered the middle of winter, the capital compared to the south, but did not feel how cold and difficult.

The queen mother and the queen get along day and night these days, the queen personally serves the queen mother all the way to life, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often talk at length, and untie the knots that have not been solved for many years.

Hongli watched his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get closer and closer, and a big stone fell in his heart, and as the team arrived in the capital, he had to think about another person in his heart.

Hongli was even worried that he no longer cared about Hongyan as much as before, whether his affection for her had faded, but as soon as the frame arrived in the capital, the strong desire to see Hongyan made him understand that it was not that Hongyan was light, but that Hongyan had grown up and was calm, and Hongyan himself was enough to reassure him.

The day before entering the city, the queen came to the emperor's carriage alone to see him, but asked him to take time to go to Yingtai tomorrow, Hongli was a little surprised, but the queen smiled: "After entering the palace, you go again, there are many rights and wrongs, it is better to go quietly tomorrow to see if she is okay, and then agree with Concubine Wen Hui on the day of returning to the palace, and then take it back at once, why drag the mud and water to let others have so much gossip." Hongyan is a meritorious hero who takes care of the concubine, and he should be rewarded for his merits to make others envious, how can it be their turn to make irresponsible remarks, they are idle in the palace and pampered, but they have never done anything serious. ”

Hongli knew that the queen said so much, it was nothing more than to take care of his mood, and the more considerate his wife was, the more guilty he naturally became, but An Yi had changed a lot in the past six months, and when she took the initiative to open her heart to the emperor on the way to Shengjing, Hongli felt that the queen was working hard for something.

He didn't want her to be reluctant, but seeing that she was sincerely happy every day, when she was with the emperor's mother, it seemed to return to the situation when they were newly married, Hongli was unwilling to dispel her enthusiasm and heart, and silently guarded all the way to the present, and finally saw the elimination of mustard between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and become harmonious as before.

"Go ahead, awkward, did you get angry with me less when you were young?" The queen had an idea in her heart and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for Hongyan to come back and be my left and right arm, and I will treat her well." Hongli, the past is over, and I can't be willful anymore. ”

The next day, the holy car entered the city, the queen accompanied the queen mother, and the mother only sat in the imperial chariot when the emperor was good, who knew that he had already entered the city in advance to go to Yingtai, and then calculated that the time when the holy car returned to the Forbidden City would rush back, at this moment the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were calculating the day of the pure concubine's delivery, and the emperor had arrived in Yingtai.

The snow-capped fairy island, quiet as no one's land, has already been sent by the head of Wu to dot the spot, as soon as the emperor arrives, someone will lead him to the place where Wei promised, Concubine Shouqi has passed away for more than half a year, the sad atmosphere on the stage has long been dispersed, but Hongli doesn't know whether the sadness in Hongyan's heart can be lightened.

This will say that Hongyan is taking cherries and Xiao Lingzi to build a snowman near Penglai Pavilion, which is the place where they agreed that the emperor will no longer secretly come to see Hongyan, but from a distance, only Hongyan is wearing a fragrant Dayu standing in front of the snowman, Xiao Lingzi is holding an umbrella on the side and waiting, a string of lapis lazuli in Hongyan's hand is very eye-catching, she is silently praying with her hands folded.

Hongli was about to step forward, but saw another cherry running back, the little palace maid was wearing a bright pink jacket, jumping up and down to Hongyan's side, they whispered a few times, Cherry replied shyly, but Hongyan was very happy, and took off his coat and wrapped it in Cherry.
