278 Happiness and Enmity (Three Watches
The atmosphere between mother and son was very embarrassing, but before that, Hongli had endured one thing after another, after all, those things were just an entanglement between the Queen Mother and Hongyan, and Hongyan endured it, and he would forget it.
But this time, the people of Niu Hulu's family went to investigate this kind of thing, once they were stabbed out, it was not whether the concubine was corrupt or not, but the ministers of civil and military affairs who had dealings with the royal family would be worried about whether their private property would be investigated, and the queen mother didn't expect such a serious consequence at all, and the people of her uncle's family were extremely stupid.
The emperor told the queen mother everything that should be said, and said to his mother patiently: "Even if Eniang is suspicious, it is for me to be thoughtful for the six palaces, how can I complain about you for many things, but people outside will not think so, once they are also involved, your position will be embarrassing." If the emperor has anything to do in the future, she must discuss with her son, and the court and the harem are inextricably linked, so she has to be cautious. ”
The Queen Mother is indeed at fault, she really doesn't know what's at stake here, although the emperor's protection of Wei Hongyan made her feel uncomfortable, but at the moment she was speechless to refute, so she could only respond coldly: "I know." Then he remembered the dowry and asked the emperor: "An Yi asked you to send those here, because I am not as good as her here?" ”
Hongyan's matter, the emperor was in a hurry, so he involved the queen, and he was going to talk to his mother here, and then go to explain to the queen, at this moment when asked about the dowry, he and the queen had already talked about it, and said: "An Yi is a daughter and respect, but you are the grandmother of all children and grandchildren, all of them are the queen's mind, left and right are given and respected, whoever gives it is the same, and I hope that Eniang will not misunderstand the queen's sincerity." ”
The Queen Mother said with a cold face: "I'm just asking, don't let An Yi misunderstand me." ”
Hongli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then patiently accompanied his mother to say something else, and sat for half an hour before leaving, but when he left, he instructed Mama Hua, who sent him out, and said: "In the future, when people come to the family, what they say and do, Mama will pay attention to tell me that the Queen Mother is simple and easy to be provoked, and those idiots will only make her happy, regardless of the severity." ”
Mama agreed, and after seeing the emperor go out, she said that she was driving Yanxi Palace, but when she turned around, the Queen Mother asked her where the emperor went, and Mama only said that she didn't know, and what the Queen Mother kept talking about was that Wei Hongyan actually got the benefit of Concubine Shouqi.
When the emperor arrived at Yanxi Palace, Hongyan checked the list with the people of the Internal Affairs Office in the main hall. After the princess's wedding feast is held, she will leave the palace and go to the princess's mansion, where Wang Fujin, Baylor, Mrs. Beizi, the wife of the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the wife of the internal manager will all be dressed outside the palace to wait. In Luan Yiwei, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the official officer, the internal manager, the military guard, the military academy, and dozens of people in the army must also be carefully selected.
Hongli didn't let people disturb Hongyan, stood outside the door and listened for a long time, the people over there saluted and said goodbye, and Hongyan urged: "The palace maid who has been decided to enter the palace with the princess will go to Changchun Palace tomorrow to wait, and the queen will take a look at it herself." Tomorrow Concubine Yu and I will go to check the utensils and dishes used in the preliminary ceremony, and you are all ready. ”
The people inside responded, holding a large stack of folds out, at first glance the emperor was outside the door, and he was so frightened that his legs were weak, Hongli asked them to retreat quickly, and Hongyan heard the movement and greeted him, and his eyes were bloodshot, but he smiled gently: "Why are you here now, do you have lunch, the concubines and others have to go to Changchun Palace to return to Niangniang, and lunch is also used there, the emperor might as well go to Sister Shu to rest." ”
The person in front of her doesn't know anything, she doesn't know that she was drugged, she doesn't know if she is splashed with dirty water, she only focuses on the things in front of her, and pays regardless of the return, but in the end, except for her own distress, no one will say that she is good.
"Then you are busy, I will lead the Buddha to Zhongcui Palace to sit." Hongli said this, but couldn't help but take Hongyan's hand.
"Niangniang asked the concubine to take the Buddha to Changchun Palace to play with the seventh elder brother." Hongyan said embarrassedly, "Don't be unhappy, the emperor has been busy for a while, and the concubines are waiting for you at home every day." ”
Hongli lovingly covered her hand in the palm of her hand, and there were many words that she didn't know where to start, so she just said: "Take care of your body, don't work too hard." ”
And before they separated, the chief manager of Wu got a message from the front, saying that Lord Fucha asked to see him outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor said: "It's just right, I want to see him too." He left Yanxi Palace happily, without entanglement. Another person sent a message to Concubine Yu, saying that her good emperor had written it down, and hoped that she would not tell Hongyan for the time being, so as not to chill her.
Let's say that Ruyin is outside the palace, urging various matters for the queen and Hongyan in the princess's mansion, but when I came to check the blue cloth pergola required for the wedding ceremony in the courtyard of the princess's main house today, I was absent-minded. When Fu Heng left home in the morning, she asked her to wait for her husband to pick her up in the princess's mansion, Ruyin didn't know what was going on, and regretted that she couldn't protect Hongyan's private property and secrets, and she couldn't lift her spirits for everything.
When Fu Heng saw the emperor coming to pick up his wife, he saw Ruyin sitting in a daze from a distance, and the others were busy building pergolas, setting up anti-kun, low tables, and plates for the ceremony, but she didn't look at it next to her.
When everyone saw Lord Fucha coming, they stepped forward to salute, and when Ruyin saw her husband, her heart was half full, but when she came to her side, she heard him gently sneer: "What are you doing here in a daze, you have to watch everything carefully, and if you go back and make a mistake, how can you explain it to the queen?" ”
Ruyin said aggrievedly: "I really don't have the heart, and I don't know which one has gone wrong after investing so much money, and I ...... turn back."
But Fu Heng didn't wait for her to finish, and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to smash their signboards." ”
Ruyin exclaimed: "Do you know which money bank it is?" But, how can you smash other people's signboards, you are a member of the imperial court, if you can't do it, let's just ask them what's going on. ”
Fu Heng smiled domineeringly: "This is a matter of the emperor's acquiescence, I am just doing things according to orders." The emperor said that he couldn't let others know that it was Niu Hulu's family who was investigating, and asked us to make a big deal and lead the topic to us, but it was just a few days' right and wrong, just ask if you care? ”
Ruyin shook her head again and again, she didn't care about gossip, and immediately wanted to go with Fu Heng. Fu Heng took her hand directly and walked out, how many people looked at it in their eyes, and felt that the young couple was so affectionate, and when they got to the door, they even shared a horse and rode a horse to find trouble in the bank.
Ruyin loves Fu Heng the most, thinking that she waited hard from spring to autumn to marry Fu Heng, who has never met, but on that day she heroically took her out of the sedan chair and rode away, such a special and unusual wedding, which has been talked about so far, but it is Ruyin's greatest pride in front of people. Today, Fu Heng took her to the door to find fault, she hid behind her husband and looked at those people who lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, and felt more and more that Fu Heng was as powerful as a mountain, and afterwards Fu Heng told her how he explained this to the emperor, Ruyin even felt that her husband was open to the heart of his heart, and he was not even afraid to face the emperor directly.
Of course, the emperor listened to what Fu Heng said, but also through the mouth of Ruyin, Hongli couldn't imagine what would be between Fu Heng and Hongyan, Ruyin and Hongyan were like biological sisters, the emperor would naturally think about everything on Ruyin, and even let Fu Heng go back to thank Ruyin, after the princess's wedding, he and the queen would give Ruyin a reward.
That day, Fucha Fu Heng took his wife to Qianzhuang to smash the signboard, and it soon spread throughout the capital, causing many people to come to the door to ask for clarification, Niu Hulu's family shrank behind, and the emperor sent someone to order them not to be involved in the matter of ordering concubines.
The next day, Concubine Yu and Hongyan came to check the utensils used in the initial banquet, and when gossip, Hongyan didn't care about money, so she didn't expect that she was involved, but said with a smile: "Ruyin is really getting more and more domineering now, I heard the eldest lady say that day, if she hadn't been alone with Lord Fucha, she would have wanted to hand over the affairs of the mansion to her." Guess what Ruyin said, she said that she was the only one in the small family, and everyone listened to her, but when she went to the mansion to be in charge, she had to look at the face of the person, and the three ladies were not easy to deal with, and she didn't do anything to give her a house for nothing. ”
Concubine Yu looked at Hongyan's expression, she really didn't seem to know anything, and she didn't know whether to worry about her or worry, so she said: "Fortunately, Ruyin's heart is as careful as a hair, and she notices such a thing, otherwise the foundation of the family will be known clearly, and it will be a shame." It can be seen that we can't just close the door and live our own days in the palace, we must guard against villains everywhere. ”
Hongyan said: "The treasure treasure next to the queen mother in the past told me that I not only have to serve the master, but also beware of villains. But there is good and evil in this world, we can't live uncomfortably for the evil of others, if we can't run like Ruyin to kick the jar and smash the signboard to get revenge, then we can only ignore it. If you really be careful everywhere, it will become hard work to live for those people, and it is really not worth it. ”
Concubine Yu smiled bitterly: "But I don't know that you have a bodhisattva heart, but others regard you as a demon and a monster, sister, but how long do you have to be a heart, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, do you think that I have been in the palace all these years, and I really rely on a good person?" ”
Hongyan agreed with a smile, unwilling to brush Concubine Yu's kindness, but she herself understood why this "laziness" was, she always felt that the emperor sheltered her in everything, and Hongli sheltered her from the wind and rain, and she didn't need to go to anything by herself, and Concubine Yu's words also alerted her, if one day the big tree behind her could no longer let her rely on, and she would have to rely on herself.
At this time, a batch of utensils was removed, and another batch was sent up, Concubine Yu and Hongyan noticed that something was wrong with their eyes, Concubine Yu stepped forward and pointed to a lacquer and asked: "Where did this come from, when did the palace become so unparticular?" ”
Hongyan looked at the people around him and saw someone shrinking up.
