Concubine Ying said again and again: "The concubine was also confused for a while, I thought that such a big scene, and the nobles would not disobey the queen mother's face even if they were reluctant in their hearts, even if she came to tell the concubine that she refused to dance, she actually sent someone directly to Ning Chun Tang." Otherwise, the Queen Mother doesn't know, so if she doesn't jump, she won't jump, and now she has caused trouble herself, but she called the concubine not a person inside and out. ”

Hongyan sighed in her heart, and said on her face: "If you discuss this matter with her in advance, then whether to dance or not to dance is a matter between you, and the Queen Mother will never know." It was yours from the beginning, no, and now it's all on the nobles, okay? ”

Concubine Ying was stunned for a moment, although she was not convinced on her face, she knew in her heart that she was not good, and now she was looking forward to Ling Guifei being able to persuade her to dance with the nobles, she didn't dare to refute, she lowered her head and muttered: "Concubine Xin, she is reliable and meticulous, as if she can do anything, the concubine doesn't want to lose to her, she wants to do something that can make the Queen Mother happy, but she didn't expect ......" She pleaded eagerly with Hongyan, "Niangniang, can you help the concubine, as long as you are willing to dance with the nobles, there will be no trouble." ”

Hongyan said: "Do your best, I'm afraid that if you can't do it, you will even resent me." ”

Concubine Ying waved her hand in fear: "Don't dare, concubines don't dare." ”

Hongyan smiled and said nothing, she knew in her heart that since Concubine Xin could instigate the Queen Mother to say that she deliberately went against the Queen Mother and did not let Ipar Khan dance, then now that Ipar Khan agreed, it became her own thing in the six palaces, Concubine Ying thought that the old lady would be happy when she saw dancing with the nobles, but she didn't know that she was really dancing with the nobles, so she was angry. But it's good to be angry, after the 70th birthday, whether the Queen Mother wants to find Hongyan, or Hongyan should find the Queen Mother, it's time to do so.

Soon after Concubine Ying left, Hongyan took her daughter to Baoyue Tower, and sent someone to pass the word in advance, and the two met to get straight to the point, Iparkhan said that it was not that she was unwilling to dance for the Queen Mother, and she no longer danced for many years after entering the palace, and her body was already stiff, her past life, even if she was twenty-seven years old, she still had to practice and dance every day, and her father and brothers were afraid that she was fat and afraid that she would not be flexible, even if she was raised to the age of thirty, she would have to meet the emperor with the most beautiful posture.

But now, the emperor treated her lightly, if he was resting in Baoyue Tower, if there was no cloud and rain, the two of them said a few words and rested, and occasionally ordered music to dance, but also musicians and dancers to help the fun, it was made for people outside. The emperor never even let her dance again, nor did he mention the graceful and enchanting dancing when they first met.

Hearing Ipar Khan say this, and even mentioning the private matters when he met the emperor, Hongyan understood that Hongli had not lied to her, and what kind of attitude the emperor had towards other women in the palace, Hongyan had the mentality that out of sight was pure, and she believed what Hongli said, but she didn't see it anyway. I didn't expect the scene in this Baoyue Building to be true.

"I did my best, and there was a birthday dance in the back department, which was very simple." Iparkhan said, "When the time comes, you can invite the dignitaries present to dance together, I don't know if the Queen Mother would like to see such a scene, it seems to be contrary to the rules of court etiquette." ”

"When the holy car goes out on patrol, there is a bonfire dinner outside, and occasionally there are scenes of kings and ministers dancing together." Hongyan recalled that he went out on patrol with the car, recalling the fun of dancing hand in hand around the bonfire in the Mongolian steppe in the past, and couldn't help but wonder, "There is no such thing in the palace, so I didn't say yes or no, when the time comes, you can act when you see the opportunity, as long as the emperor nods, what else can't be done." Be sure to be lively and festive. ”

Iparkhan agreed to Hongyan's going, but Hongyan said: "If you don't agree to this matter, I won't force it, but another thing, after the birthday banquet, ......" she preemptively said, "I promised you, Iparkhan will definitely do it, what do you need me to do after the birthday banquet, please feel free to command." ”

Hongyan got up and bowed reverently, "Thank you." ”

Iparkhan stood up and shook his head repeatedly: "You are willing to forgive me, but I will never forgive myself in my life, I should have saved the children, I should have saved them at that time." ”

As soon as Yonglu's matter was mentioned, Hongyan's heart ached, which must be a lifetime of regret and pain, but she tried to calm herself down and persuaded Ipar Khan: "The one who is really wrong is the one who does evil, although I also resent you, but I can't hate the wrong person." After the birthday feast, the matter that should be resolved is settled, and you and I should not mention this matter again. My son will never come back, but I want to live well for the children who are still alive. ”

Leaving Baoyue Tower, Hongyan passed by the place where Yonglu drowned, Hongli once asked him if he wanted to renovate it, otherwise he would touch the scene every time he passed, but Hongyan remembered the dream of meeting the queen, and she was afraid that when the queen and the children wanted to come to see her again, they would not find their way back.

On the way, Xiao Lingzi came in a hurry and said, "Niangniang, Concubine Xin Niangniang is waiting in the spring of the Tiandi family, saying that she wants to see you." ”

"What's the matter?" Hongyan didn't want to see Concubine Xin at all.

"I said it was for the birthday banquet, and I want to ask you." Xiao Lingzi replied.

Hongyan looked around, the heat had not yet receded, and there was no place in the garden to cool off, Xiao Qi took Eniang's hand and said, "Eniang, I want to go to see my grandmother, the mung bean cake in my grandmother's house is the best." ”

"Little gluttonous cat." Hongyan nodded her daughter's cheeks, then took her to Pinghu Qiuyue, and said, "Why don't we accompany our great-grandmother to dinner, now that the days are long and the nights are short, the great-grandmother is very difficult to pass the time." ”

In this way, Concubine Xin waited for two hours in the spring of the world family and did not see the return of the concubine, although there were eunuchs and palace maids holding umbrellas and fans for her, it was still difficult to withstand the extreme heat to cover her prickly heat, and she waited hard not to really see the red face, it was clear that Ling Guifei would not see her, this was nothing more than to show the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother knew how "powerful" Ling Guifei is now. ”

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother had dinner, she saw the person whose cheeks were so hot that her cheeks were red and her head was sweating, and she said coldly: "Why bother to give her face, my birthday banquet, I am not allowed to have anything to do with her, I can live for 20 more years." ”

In the days that followed, Hongyan took care of his children with peace of mind, when the emperor came to rest, the two said intimate whispers, looking back on more than 20 years, it was the most relaxed at this time, there was no trouble about the affairs of the six palaces, and it would not stand alone with all kinds of inconveniences, even the emperor felt so comfortable, he was happy for a while, and even the government affairs moved to the world and a spring. Outside is busy, but the imperial concubine is hiding in the cool palace and is at ease, this seemingly unfair thing has caused countless jealousies, and it really understands that the status of the concubine can be shaken.

Since the establishment of the harem by the current emperor, from Empress Fucha to the current Empress Nala, how the former Queen Mother suppressed the noble concubine, and how the later pure concubine Jia Guifei was unsatisfactory, in order to stabilize the status of the middle palace, the person in the position of the concubine is either unfavored or powerless, so that the concubine is indeed a special case. And she has been entangled with the Queen Mother for so many years, and the Queen Mother has not done anything to "exhale and raise her eyebrows", which in itself is a shame for the Queen Mother. In addition, the old lady is getting older, and she is more and more instigated by rumors, although the scenery of the heaven and earth family is infinitely better in spring, but everyone knows that the relationship between the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling has not improved for many years.

Looking at the current queen, although the emperor gave her the same glory and dignity, everyone understands that Queen Nala cannot speak on the same day as Queen Fucha, at first the queen herself wanted to live in the Jiexiu Mountain House, but a year has passed, and there have been rumors in recent days that the emperor has the intention to weaken the power of the middle palace and trap her in the Jiexiu Mountain House, so that the concubine has the potential to spoil the concubine and destroy his wife.

But at the center of the rumors, the queen herself doesn't care about it, outsiders have watched the queen and Concubine Ling have repeatedly disagreed in the past two years, but in essence, there is no conflict and contradiction between the two, the queen is just dedicated to guarding her own secrets, and she must not let Concubine Xin publicize this matter.

However, the world often says that if people don't know unless they do it, the queen has been careful all her life, but in the end she was seen through by the pure concubine, and was informed by the concubine Xin and threatened her with this, and now she herself is not aware of it, and the person who should not know is moving towards the truth step by step. And even in the face of the emperor's and the queen mother's reprimand, the queen died as soon as she died, but she never thought about how to answer her son's question one day.

On this day, in the study, Yongying was severely taught a lesson by the fourth elder brother because he was suspected of stealing in the concubine's house, and the child was afraid that he would be laughed at and pointed out, so he went back to the study after recovering from his injury, and worked harder than ever. Now the children in the study, the words of the eleventh elder brother are the best, and the twelfth elder brother has been unconvinced, so on this day he changed the handwriting that he often practiced at home, and came up with a post, planning to compete with the eleventh elder brother.

Now that Yongxuan had finished writing, he washed his hands triumphantly, and Fucha Demin put it away for him so that he could send it to his husband. But he looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but unfold the paper again, and the twelfth elder brother came back and asked, "Is there a mistake in writing any words?" ”

Demin shook his head: "I am very familiar with this handwriting, and I can also write it." ”

Yongxuan didn't believe it and asked: "How can you write, this is my handwriting of the emperor's mother, do you see my mother's handwriting?" ”

Demin felt strange, so he laid out another piece of paper, and wrote a Tang Lu poem silently, the handwriting was very similar to Yongxi's, and Demin's handwriting was obviously more flamboyant and powerful.

Even the Twelfth Elder Brother said, "It's really similar, where did you learn it?" ”

Demin said: "This is my grandfather's handwriting, my grandfather's handwriting of Fucha Fu Qing, if you don't believe it, I will bring my grandfather's ink treasure to you tomorrow." ”

"Your grandfather?" The twelfth elder brother frowned, looked at Demin's handwriting, and then looked at his own handwriting, and was a little unhappy for a while, and said in a ball of the written words, "That's it, wait until I go back and ask Eniang, and then I'll tell you, how can it be so similar, did your grandfather learn my Eniang's words, or did my Eniang learn your grandfather's?" ”
