Mama Hua thought about it carefully, shook her head and said: "The noble people don't care about it in their hearts, so they think that the clearer this matter is, the better, but there are many people who care, if it is really the person next to the queen's mother, do you think it is appropriate for us to pick it out?" If she really angers the queen, she will have someone to vent her evil anger, and Jia Concubine will also suffer the consequences. ”

"Mama's words make sense, it's just that ......" Hai Guiren's expression was slightly gloomy, and he smiled, "Why don't I care in my heart, I just care, I just want to know what kind of person makes the emperor tempted, and understands what kind of person I lose to, so I can be convinced, right?" ”

In this way, Mama couldn't comfort her, but she thought that the emperor had hardly had any newcomers over the years, and since Concubine Xian was the last to enter the door, there were no newcomers who stayed by her side because of real emotion. Probably as I grew older, my blood and qi when I was young have just faded, and now I know more about the thoughtfulness and gentleness of the people around me, and those ladies are all budding flowers from their teens to be released into blooming flowers, knowing the true beauty of women, and the young ones don't love it very much.

At this time, there was movement outside the door, Hua Mama and Hai Guiren went to the window to take a look, and saw Jia Concubine leaving triumphantly, as if she had said something terrible in front of the Queen Mother, Mama and Hai Guiren glanced at each other, Hai Guiren said: "I'll go back and ask what she said, Mama looks at the attitude of the Queen Mother here, anyway, it's all those things, the best result is decent and beautiful, the Queen Mother is happy and the emperor is happy, and other people can not be sad, it can't be better." ”

"Speaking of sadness, Concubine Chun has been making trouble for a few days, and it's rare for the emperor to be so tough that he really doesn't even take a look." Mama Hua sighed, "What if something happens?" ”

In Qingyan, Kyushu, there was a doctor who came to diagnose the pulse of Concubine Chun, and she was depressed and caught a cold, although it was not a major symptom, but if it was not good, no matter how good her body bones were, she would be tormented and broken. But Shao Jingxuan except for Mr. Wu who came to greet him the next day, the emperor never came to see it, it was Mr. Wu who came, and every time he said the same thing, every word was perfunctory. Concubine Chun is such a delicate person, which makes her even more sad.

If it was a quarrel in the past, the emperor would be angry and punish her, and it would be fine for three or two days, but this time it dragged on for so long, and she was sick and didn't see anyone look back, and Concubine Chun's heart cooled down layer by layer. She understands that the old love has faded or even disappeared, it must be that someone else has replaced him in his heart, or he has never been true love, but just treats himself as a plaything, and now he is tired of it and can naturally be discarded.

But Concubine Chun only has Hongli alone in her heart, and she doesn't know how other women think of the existence of the emperor, she has always been her husband in her heart, and she is the only man she loves in this life. It is precisely because of this that she was unwilling to let go, and even said to Baoqin: "If I go like this, he will never forget it for the rest of his life." ”

Seeing that Concubine Chun's body is not as good as day by day, Shao Jingxuan clearly knows that she is indifferent, and the queen is also anxious in her eyes, if she is simply a sick and weak person like the concubine, although it is fate to die of illness, but the emperor and Concubine Chun stiffened in the front, and then the emperor who was sick for a long time just asked, if she has three long and two short, if it is passed out, it is a joke of the harem, and it is the ruthlessness of the emperor. And the cause of this incident was that the emperor suddenly changed his mind that night and came to live in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion.

Hongyan and Qianya followed Niangniang, and also saw her sigh from time to time, but Shao Jingxuan did not move, that is the attitude of the emperor, if the queen does too much, first, it seems to be blaming the emperor's ruthlessness, and secondly, the pure concubine may not appreciate it, the queen can only order people to take care of the concubine as she did in the past, and she has not set foot in Kyushu Qingyan, if something happens in the future, she and the emperor will take responsibility together.

The concubines in Qingyan in Kyushu saw the emperor's attitude, and the queen mother has always been dislike the concubines of the Han family, although she does not want the pure concubine to die, but although there is something wrong with the emperor in this matter, how can she be a concubine who is qualified to compete with the emperor, and she has not done it herself to this point. So no one cares, and in the middle of summer, the people who got the grace of a pot of lotus flowers moved into the courtyard, the courtyard was cold at this time, and some people even remembered whether the pure concubine could survive the days of returning to the palace.

After another three or four days, the patient has a yellow face and thin muscles, and he pours the medicine every day, but the heart disease still needs a heart medicine, and if he doesn't want to live, no one can stop him. Thanks to the third elder brother, he shouted every day, but Concubine Chun was unmoved, and Huqin gradually became disheartened, and she was prepared for the worst.

In the blink of an eye, in late July, all parts of the garden began to pack up their things and prepare to move back to the Forbidden City. On this day, Jiangnan Xingong's pen and paper were sent to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and the queen said: "Why don't you send it to the Forbidden City, let's have one more piece of luggage, let's put it directly into the box, I haven't had the heart to write and paint these days." ”

Hongyan took the palace maid to store it, turned around and saw the master standing under the window and sighed, then stepped forward and asked, "Does Niangniang think the house is too stuffy?" ”

The queen sneered: "If you want to ask me if I'm unhappy, just say it, and now I can learn to speak around the corner." She said impatiently, "The matter of the pure concubine, I have always been thinking about it, who can really hope that she is not good, but what is going on with the emperor this time, it is clearly something that he can end with a glance and a word, and it has been delayed for a long time, it is the first time in so many years, it is really strange." ”

Hongyan said: "The slave maid thinks it......" There was cowardice in her eyes, but she never hid it from the queen, so she said, "The emperor came to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion that day, so the pure concubine Niangniang was unhappy, and half of it was because of you." If the emperor indulges the temperament of a pure concubine, wouldn't he admit that it was wrong to come to Changchun Immortal Pavilion, so where will Niangniang's face go? The slave maid felt that the pure concubine Niangniang couldn't figure it out, not so much that she was competing with the emperor about this matter, but that it was actually Niangniang's business, and the emperor always had to take care of one person, so that person was naturally Niangniang. ”

The queen was stunned, she didn't expect Hongyan to say this, and after thinking about it, it was Hongyan who was so dedicated to herself that she would think of this, and she didn't even think about it carefully for herself.

Moreover, Hongli's temperament she knows, the most reluctant to be talked about shortcomings, like Jia Concubine is the mistake of his passionate impulsiveness when he was young, but even if he is full of guilt about himself, he will not admit it to death, and would rather keep a woman like Jia Concubine, who has no other place to like him except beauty. And the emperor's temper, when they were childhood sweethearts together, the queen knew.

"But it's not a way, I don't care what others say." The queen was worried, "Is it really going to die, I think he is iron-hearted." ”

On this side, the imperial doctor still came every day to diagnose the pulse of the pure concubine, and now the sick concubine's body is gradually getting better, after the imperial doctor left the pure concubine's side, he came to ask for the concubine's safe pulse, and said without hesitation: "Niangniang's body is getting better and better, and after a while of good recuperation, she can recover as before." ”

Rui Zhu smiled on the side and asked, "Then our mother, can we still have a little brother?" ”

The imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I can't come in a hurry, but if I keep getting better, there will always be a chance." ”

The concubine was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she made her face more and more soft, and sent Ruizhu to send the imperial doctor out, and soon Ruizhu returned, and the concubine instructed her: "You prepare something, let's go to see the pure concubine, you can't go empty-handed." ”

Although Ruizhu agreed, she couldn't help but say: "Now no one cares about the pure concubine Niangniang, and the lotus flowers in her summer yard are not willing to be seen by others. ”

The concubine sighed: "I am older than her, and my position is above her, even if this thing is done with all her face, if something happens in the future, we will not be honest, not to mention that she is so pitiful now." ”

Rui Zhu said happily: "After the mother is well, her heart is also higher, so it is good, and the adults have more face in the court." ”

The concubine's illness was involuntarily, she was timid and cowardly when she lingered on the sickbed, and she was even more afraid of the majesty of the queen mother. Now that God has blessed her body with better and better health, coupled with her natural beauty, her attitude towards people in case of trouble has naturally changed, but because she used to be friends with medicine all day long, she knows that it is not easy for a pure concubine, and she still has pity in her heart.

The group slowly came to the courtyard of the pure concubine, in the middle of summer, the courtyard was full of pink and elegant lotus flowers, but at this moment it has all been removed and nothing is empty, and there are still traces of the water tank on the floor tiles, which are even more desolate than the dead lotus leaves.

As soon as the concubine sighed lightly, a young girl came out of the room, wearing a decent palace dress, which was different from ordinary palace people at a glance, and the concubine was very familiar with her, and without waiting for anyone to come forward to salute, she smiled and said: "Hongyan girl, this is to visit Concubine Chun for Niangniang?" ”

Seeing the concubine coming, Hongyan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said respectfully: "The concubine Niangniang Jin'an, the slave maid is here to send things to the pure concubine Niangniang at the will of the queen." ”

Hug Qin in the door and follow out, and immediately invite the concubine into the house, the concubine wanted to ask Hongyan a few words, but she was invited, she only smiled and separated from Hongyan, but when she entered the door, she couldn't help but look back, and saw Hongyan still bowing respectfully and waiting, as if she was waiting for herself to enter the door before leaving.

The concubine is a person who is accustomed to seeing people's warmth and coldness, and the decent servants in the palace are equivalent to half of the masters, maybe Hongyan is still young, otherwise she would no longer have such humility with her status.

Hongyan saw that the curtain was lowered, and finally straightened up and left, there are mostly concubines in Kyushu Qingyan, Hongyan is not good at dealing with them, often comes and goes in a hurry and doesn't want to cause trouble, and walks out all the way, feeling more relaxed. Because of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion to go back to the palace, everyone was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, Hongyan was alone to send things to the pure concubine, along the path in the garden back to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, a cool breeze hit the face, a faint sweetness into the nose, her eyes lit up, and she looked for the fragrance.

At this moment, it is still in early autumn, the residual heat of summer has not dissipated, but the flowers have withered, only hibiscus and the like have not yet reached the top, and so the day is cooler, it is time to taste the chrysanthemum and enjoy the moon, and it is a spring and autumn in a flash. However, in autumn, Hongyan's favorite is not the elegant chrysanthemum, but the sweet cinnamon, whether it smells or makes it into food, it is a sweet taste, every time you encounter it, no matter how bad the mood will become sweet.

But the season has not yet arrived, and there are still some days before the fragrance of golden osmanthus, but occasionally one or two can't wait to pop up, so they seduce the people who are hungry for osmanthus.

Hongyan found the source of the fragrance, but the branches were too tall for her to reach on tiptoe, so she could only look up at the delicate flowers and smile, and then gave up. patted the dust on his robe, rubbed the mud on the soles of his shoes, turned around and was about to continue back to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and was surprised to see the emperor standing not far away.

Chief Wu and four or five little eunuchs followed, they bowed down one by one and bent around him, making the emperor look more and more tall and straight, he gently put away the folding fan in his hand behind him, and slowly paced towards Hongyan, who hurriedly retreated to the side of the road and saluted.

The emperor walked under the tree, raised his hand and touched the flower branch, carefully wanted to break the flower branch, Hongyan looked up, and couldn't help but say: "The emperor don't break it." ”

Hongli turned to look at her: "You don't want it?" ”

Hongyan hurriedly said: "If you want, just pick those flowers, the season has not yet arrived, and there are still many flowers blooming on this flower branch, if you break it down, it will be dead in late autumn." ”

Hongli couldn't help but smile slightly, so he only picked the petals, and after Mr. Wu carefully took them, he handed them to Hongyan, and said with a deep smile: "Girl, you have to put it away." ”

But Hongyan said: "Niangniang has been bored these days, I want to show Niangniang, smell the sweet smell, and be in a good mood." ”

Manager Wu shrugged his eyebrows and stepped aside, while the emperor asked, "Why is Niangniang upset?" ”

Hongyan felt that she was talking too much, pursed her lips and didn't know how to say it, the emperor motioned for her to get up, took a closer look and turned her eyes away unnaturally, as if concerned: "The queen is unwell?" I didn't hear her talk about it last night. ”

"Your Majesty, it's actually ......" Hongyan quickly read what she wanted to say in her heart over and over again, thinking of the pitiful appearance of Concubine Chun, and thinking of the queen's frowning, she hung her head and said softly, "Concubine Chun has been ill for a long time, and the queen is very worried." ”

Hongli snorted and didn't say anything, thinking that Zuo was still those words, but Hongyan said: "But what Niangniang is worried about is not the pure concubine, but the emperor, who is upset for the emperor, if the emperor is considerate of the queen, please also ask you, please remove those troubles for the mother." ”

Manager Wu frowned, peeked at the emperor's expression, saw that he didn't move, and thought that this was bad, so he scolded Hongyan: "Don't go back to Changchun Immortal Pavilion soon, Niangniang is waiting for you." ”

Hongyan saw that she was driven away, and she wanted to run away when she turned around, but was called down by the emperor, Hongli said: "You go back and tell the queen, I know." ”

"Know what?" Hongyan was now full of just wanting to run, but when he said it, he understood first, and he laughed happily, as if he had met a great good thing, Zhou Zhou was saluting the emperor, "The slave will go and tell Niangniang." ”

She saw that the emperor and Wu Gonggong no longer kept herself, so she really ran away, she held the golden cinnamon in her hand, the fragrance came from her, the sweet breath drilled into people's hearts, Hongli used a folding fan against the nose, and instructed Wu: "After the flowers are full, pick them off and send them back to the Forbidden City, and put them in the Changchun Palace." ”
