"She's still the same as before, but this kind of person who hangs everything on her face, it's easy to deal with." Concubine Yu smiled softly at Hongyan, and left after saying this, after all, there is a difference in status, and now Haijia's family is also a superior existence in this palace, if she doesn't leave, other nobles will always dare not move.

In the main hall of Changchun Palace, the queen sits on the head, the concubines and concubines sit down according to the order, although Hongyan is not a newcomer, but has not been in the palace for a long time, and now he has only come back to naturally have a few thoughtful gifts, and after everyone is seated, he salutes the queen, the concubine, etc., the complicated rules in the palace are like this, the queen looks quietly, and today is also considered to give face to the six palaces. Hongyan's future does not stop here, he has done a thoughtful job today, and he will not be talked about in the future.

With the queen on top, the concubines are unwilling and will not show their faces, and Concubine Jia, who walked in front of Hongyan with a disdain outside the palace gate just now, said enthusiastically at this moment: "Sister doesn't have to be polite, you have worked hard to serve the concubine in Yingtai, and now you have to take a good rest when you come back." ”

Concubine Shu was holding a tea bowl to drink, and was choked by Concubine Jia's laughter, and the beauty covered her mouth and coughed in a gaffe, which provoked Concubine Jia to give her a fierce look. And when Hongyan came to her to salute, Concubine Shu just nodded politely and didn't say anything.

The queen saw everything in her eyes, she didn't care if it was true or false, and said a few words on the scene, and said that the New Year was coming, and everything in the palace was busy, and then talking about the birth of the sixth elder brother and the concubine's illness, they were all trivial and ordinary things.

Everyone saluted and said goodbye, but the empress got up and said, "Concubine Yu, you take Wei Changzai to Chuxiu Palace to ask the noble concubine for peace, let the noble concubine take care of her health, if you can attend the banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor will be very happy." ”

Concubine Yu received the order, and after going out, she waited for Concubine Xian Jiafei to leave in a warm sedan chair, so she came to receive Hongyan and smiled kindly: "Chuxiu Palace is behind, let's go over." ”

In addition to the queen, the first person around the emperor to deal with Hongyan is Yu Concubine, in the past, the sea nobles helped Hongyan, and Hongyan also spoke up for her in front of the emperor, but for various reasons, they did not have a deep relationship with each other, but Yu Concubine has always regarded Hongyan as her nobleman in her heart, and it is after having Hongyan that her life has surprises. Whether she was used by the emperor as an excuse for the harem, or deliberately to make the queen mother happy, Yongqi was really born, it was her own flesh and blood, with Yongqi, everything in the past does not have to be taken into account.

"Let's go around and around, meet again, and we will be together for a long time in the future, you are really a blessed person." The two walked on the palace road, Concubine Yu motioned for Hongyan to be side by side with her, and she said gently, "When you left the palace, I was pregnant with Yongqi, one was inconvenient, and the queen mother was angry, and I was not good to send you off at that time." Fortunately, you are following the concubine and going to the comfortable and quiet place in Yingtai, but I always feel that there is a little less favor, I am afraid that you will misunderstand, but I feel that it is hypocritical to say it. Now that you have come back safely, I no longer have that heart, looking forward to the future sisters and sisters getting along, we Yongqi is like his emperor Ama, he can't take his eyes off the beautiful people, he likes you very much. ”

The person who said this is very comfortable, Yu Concubine is really the most popular person in the palace, the same thing is said by different people, there can be a world of difference, at least Hongyan has always had a good impression of Yu Concubine, and the fifth elder brother She also saw it, such a cute little doll, no wonder the queen mother beware of the baby like a baby.

"The concubine Niangniang is not in good health, but in fact, her heart is depressed and can't be dispersed, everything that should be said is done, she doesn't let go of herself, and others have no way. In the early years, you used to bring meals to the queen every day, do you remember what she looked like, and she is still like that now. Yu Concubine said, with a red face into the Chuxiu Palace, here the courtyard is cold and almost no one comes, although the Chuxiu Palace is magnificent, there is no sign of half of the loss of the concubine, but she is indeed a forgotten person in the corner of the Forbidden City, recently many things have been entangled with the Gao family, and the concubine was almost scared to death by herself.

After entering the door, Hongyan saluted and said a few humble words, Ruizhu gave the master's gift to Wei Changzai, the concubine half leaned on the couch, her spirit was pale, and only when Hongyan bowed and left, there was a little fascination in her eyes. She hopes that she can be like Hongyan, simply liked by the emperor, not because the family suddenly changed its fate, her illness has not been better since she suddenly became a side blessing.

When Hongyan walked out of Chuxiu Palace, he faintly heard the cry of the baby, which should be the cry of the sixth elder brother from the Xianfu Palace, and Cherry stepped forward and said, "Niangniang told you not to go to the salute, let's not go." ”

Hongyan said: "Cherry, don't you think it's strange, I'm not enough to attract all the attention in this palace, but the birth of Concubine Chun's child was ignored by everyone, and the queen mother has always treated the prince equally, but yesterday and today, she almost didn't exist here." Concubine Yu just walked by and glanced at the gate of Xianfu Palace, and she also looked thoughtful. ”

Cherry said: "It's better to find your father-in-law and ask if anything has happened in the past two years." ”

Hongyan said to herself: "Isn't it the same as back then, she has an unpleasant quarrel with the emperor again?" The pure concubine also has a real personality. ”

In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Yu didn't go with Hongyan, she waited for the concubine to take the medicine, and wanted to wait for her to sleep before leaving, and when the concubine saw them coming, she remembered what she had mentioned to Concubine Yu before, and asked if she wanted to be friends with Hongyan, Concubine Yu said frankly: "I have this heart, but she is different from others, her heart is transparent, if I am in a hurry to show goodwill, she will retreat." I thought about it, everyone is more easy-going, that is, if we can talk, we can meet and talk more, if she is far away from me, I will not rush to slap her, at least let her respect me a little. ”

The concubine agreed with Concubine Yu's thoughts, and mentioned the Xianfu Palace not far away, mentioning that she gave birth to a sixth elder brother, and the concubine told Concubine Yu: "The emperor's interest in her is really light, but she has a good life and has an heir, you have to pay attention to her and protect Yongqi well." ”

Concubine Yu understood in her heart that people like Concubine Chun were not suitable for intercourse, and said to the concubine: "I still hope that you will get better and be able to protect Yongqi with your concubine." ”

Outside Chuxiu Palace, Hongyan went all the way to the East Sixth Palace along the palace road in the north, passing by the Imperial Garden, and couldn't help but look down at the lapis lazuli bracelet on her wrist, which was torn off by Jia Concubine here that day, who would have thought that she had pulled out her affection for the emperor. Now that the other half of the beads are gone with the concubine, Hongyan hopes that she is alive and well, and the concubine can be seen, and she also hopes that the concubine will have a spirit in the sky to bless her.

Hongyan puffed up his chest, took Cherry and Xiao Lingzi and a few others, and continued to walk towards his home.

However, Yanxi Palace is in the southernmost part of the East Sixth Palace, and Zhong Cui Palace is closer to the Imperial Garden, Hongyan returns to her home, and has to pass through Zhong Cui Palace, Chengqian Palace and other places, the East Sixth Palace now only lives in a few concubines, it is not as lively as the West Sixth Palace, originally I didn't meet anyone along the way, but Shu Concubine seemed to be waiting for her here, and when she passed Zhong Cui Palace, she stood around the corner with the palace people.

Hongyan has saluted countless times since early in the morning, and her knees are a little weak, but she still straightened her etiquette and stepped forward to see Shu Concubine, Shu Concubine did not embarrass her, but just circled around Hongyan, looked her up and down, and said in her mouth: "Ruyin will tell me about you when she sees me, I heard that you have become sisters?" My mother said that Ruyin is a white-eyed wolf raised by our family, and her elbow turned out, all because Wei Chang is with you. ”

Hongyan smiled generously: "Fu Jin is not elbow to turn out, Fu Jin in front of the concubines, they only talk about you, Fu Jin is wholeheartedly looking forward to the future after the concubines return to the palace, they can communicate with Niang Niang a lot, and they can take care of each other in the palace, and Fu Jin She will feel at ease outside the palace." ”

Shu Concubine is no longer a little nobleman who entered the palace at the beginning of the year, and she is one year older than Hongyan, she has experienced a few years of warmth and coldness in the deep palace, and she has learned to grow a heart and eye in the world, but the character soaked in her bones is difficult to change, listening to Hongyan say this, she knows that it is true that she and Ruyin are intimate, and she is envious and jealous in her heart, so she can't help but put it on her face, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that we can't get along, Ruyin is also stupid, how can a person like Wei Changzai who is favored by the emperor have spare time to communicate with me?" ”

Hongyan knew Concubine Shu's personality very well, and she didn't want to argue with her for the sake of Ruyin, so she smiled generously: "As long as Concubine Shu doesn't dislike it, allowing the concubine to visit Zhongcui Palace from time to time is a blessing for the concubine." ”

But Hongyan worked so hard to reconcile the relationship between them, but some people were worried about her at this time, the emperor had not dispersed the early dynasty, and he had already sent someone to Yanxi Palace to say that he would come over for dinner at noon. The little eunuch of Yanxi Palace just started to be on an errand, and he only knew that doing everything well was diligent, so he couldn't wait for the master to come back, three or four people came out to inquire where the master was, and one of them saw Hongyan here from a distance, and immediately ran to tell him happily, saying that the emperor was coming in the morning, please go back early to prepare.

In front of the most favored person in the palace in the past few years to say this kind of thing, Concubine Shu's face immediately changed, and Hongyan also felt very embarrassed, seeing her turn around and leave with a snort, she couldn't help but sigh, seeing that the little eunuch was really ignorant when he was young, so he had to wait for the opportunity to tell them what to do.

But thinking of seeing the emperor again for a while, the lingering charm of last night is still wrapped around her body, and her mood is quickly getting better again, nothing makes her happier than seeing the emperor again, since she is back, she will enjoy all this happiness that belongs to her generously.

A few days after that, the words "special room and special favor" are not only the private chatter of the pure concubine, it has become a fact for all to see, in recent years, Shu Concubine's favor has flourished, and it is less than half of the Yanxi Palace, the emperor seems to have been suppressed for several years and is now all released, and he loves the beauty in the Yanxi Palace with all his heart. The red-faced people are generous in front of them, low-key in the back, and none of the rules that should be left behind are left behind, she was trained by the two concubines around Kangxi Ye in Yingtai, and she learned the rules passed down by her ancestors, and she couldn't make any mistakes.

She will also go to Shoukang Palace to visit Concubine Wen Hui, walking on the palace road, the dignity and humility she should have are no different, and no one can find out who she is not.

On the day of the new year, the queen mother held a banquet in Ningshou Palace, only the concubines and elders in the palace got together, and the queen mentioned the matter of pro-silkworm at the banquet, hoping that the emperor could set up a silkworm altar, so that she could follow the example of the ancient virtuous queen and sacrifice to the silkworm.
