Hongyan frowned deeply, worried about Hejing, and said: "She has loved the queen mother since she was a child, and she hated herself when she was a child for not being a boy, and she learned to ride a horse and shoot archery like a boy all day long, thinking that in this way she could protect the queen and make the queen happy." After what happened to me, her hatred for me also contained all kinds of emotions, in the end, she still felt sorry for her mother. ”

Ruyin sighed: "For the princess, her mother is irreplaceable, and the queen's position is naturally irreplaceable, but the emperor is in a hurry to choose someone and make arrangements, and she will definitely not be able to get over it." ”

Hongyan said helplessly: "The emperor also has difficulties, he wants to explain to the queen mother, give an explanation to the civil and military officials, the emperor is in his prime, how can the courtiers let the emperor's middle palace be empty, the early years are the same, the later years are the same, but the later years make people feel emotionally passable." ”

Ruyin said: "But I don't know if Hejing is dissatisfied with the imperial concubine, or not with anyone, if you do it, sister, will she agree?" ”

Hongyan shook his head: "Even if He Jing can agree with me, even if even the Queen Mother nods, I don't want to be a queen." In the past, when Emperor Huixian's concubine was alive, what she hoped most was to return to the palace when she was just a concubine, even if she was a little Chang Zai Xiao in the palace, she was satisfied. I understand this anxiety and trepidation now, and I can see the queen's tears and sorrow. Ruyin, don't laugh at my lack of interest, I used to be sad because of the difference between my wife and concubine, and I was helpless in the face of the queen's mother's open and secret showmanship, but now I feel that being a concubine may not be bad, at least I can endure it calmly, since I am a concubine, my heart is born shorter, and I will not care about many things. ”

Ruyin can't understand this kind of thought, she is the only one of Fu Heng, a couple in her life, and the words of the big poet of their Nalan family are also the happiness that Ruyin guards in this life, but for Hongyan, it is the most unattainable thing in her life.

Ruyin said: "The Fucha family and the Nala clan are old friends, and these days they are even more enthusiastic, and they are also full of hope that our Fucha family can jointly support the imperial concubine, but the family has not yet found out the matter of the little brother, and they are not willing to invest too much energy and emotion rashly, so they will deal with it lukewarmly for the time being, and see what happens after that." Fu Heng and I naturally support my sister wholeheartedly, no matter whether my sister is a queen or not, in our family, my sister must be the first, no matter what trouble I encounter in the future, my sister should not be afraid, we are outside. ”

Hongyan knew that although she had many ups and downs along the way, she could meet one noble person after another, whether it was the concubines and her father-in-law, as well as Ruyin in front of her, she didn't know how to say her words of gratitude, she only took Ruyin's hand silently, but was laughed by Ruyin: "Let's hold hands and look at each other at every turn, like a little lover who has just opened up, it's really embarrassing." ”

Hongyan said deliberately: "People are sincere to you, and the lady's words are really sad." ”

Ruyin really blushed and said angrily: "My sister is not serious." ”

There was laughter between the two, and Concubine Shu heard it outside, so that Chunmei Cherry was optimistic about the Buddha, and she flashed into the door and blamed: "I used to say that I was ignorant, but now look at the two of you, even if it's July, you shouldn't laugh so presumptuously, it's not good for people outside to hear it." ”

Hongyan smiled and said nothing, Ruyin said: "The queen mother may not care about the condolences of those people, she must hope that we can live well." But it is really time to be more restrained, when the palace will have a big feast and lanterns, then you really don't have to care. ”

Concubine Shu sat down on the side and asked Hongyan: "Does the emperor give the little brother Jia Guifei a full moon or a hundred days?" ”

Hongyan shook her head: "The imperial concubine's orders are from Jane, and the little brother's body is also ......" The kind of bad words, Hongyan couldn't say it, and said instead, "Anyway, the queen mother and the emperor mean not to do it, and when the time comes, I will prepare things with Concubine Yu and send them to Qixiang Palace, and there are always rules for celebration." ”

Concubine Shu glanced at Hongyan, then at Ruyin, and said: "There is something I have wanted to say for a long time, but I know that I don't have that qualification, and you still bother me when I look back." ”

Hongyan was puzzled, but listened to Concubine Shu say: "We are both in the concubine position now, and Sister Yufei is shoulder to shoulder, she doesn't care who is high and who is low, but Hongyan, you have worked with Sister Yufei for so long, and you have entrusted the Buddha to her to take care of, but you still call her 'Niangniang, Niangniang', is it appropriate?" Call out to her sister, she must be overjoyed. ”

Different titles, do have different feelings, the queen loved to hear Ruyin call her sister before her death, and she looked forward to Fu Heng calling her sister, Hongyan has always respected Concubine Yu, and kept her distance because she didn't want to cause trouble for each other, but she didn't have any worries about Concubine Yu in her heart, but she had always been like that, and she was naturally used to it. Concubine Yu herself didn't say anything wrong, and Hongyan didn't feel inappropriate when she heard her call her sister.

"One day, you will change your words quietly, and if you take a closer look at Sister Yufei's expression, it must be very different." Concubine Shu smiled and said, "I was able to live on the edge of Jingyang Palace, and it was my blessing to be taken care of and enlightened by her." ”

Everyone knows that Concubine Yu is good, and even more so that the fifth elder brother is good, Ruyin said that the people of the Fucha family also value the fifth elder brother, but the emperor's current attitude is obviously that he doesn't want to hold the fifth elder brother too high, as if giving them the honor of mother and son, it is better to choose a good master for the fifth elder brother, and it is not too late to train the child to become a talent first.

Concubine Shu also said: "The imperial concubine has not been out for many years, although it is not as good as you and me, and it is not treated badly by the emperor, it seems that we are the fate of the whole way, and there is no hope." I don't think the emperor may be interested in this, and he can cultivate the fifth elder brother with peace of mind. ”

Unintentionally inserted willows and willows, Concubine Yu used her kindness and friendliness to exchange for more protection for her son, and the two who were bent on seeking a future for their children ended up with more gains than losses.

Concubine Jia is still in confinement, this time the childbirth tossed her enough, Brother Jiu is also weak and difficult to support, although she is domineering and arrogant, she is still sincere to her child, these days for Brother Jiu is sad, and it is not good to give birth to and nurse in confinement. On this day, Concubine Chun came to visit her, and saw that the mother was haggard and pale, and she herself was a person who had come over, so she couldn't help but persuade: "My sister can't do this, the most nourishing body and the most hurtful body in the confinement period, but you have to be careful." ”

Concubine Jia naturally has enough dignity in front of people, not to mention that she is now shoulder to shoulder with the Su family, and the emperor is obviously better for her, Concubine Jia is not enough, and it is more than enough to bully the pure concubine, and said with a smile: "I just thought that I couldn't get up to salute my sister when I was lying down, but I didn't remember that my sister is also a concubine now, and the emperor's grace is vast, so don't blame my sister for being rude." ”

Concubine Chun sat down on the side and smiled: "Our sisters of more than ten years, do you still care about these?" I'm here to congratulate you on adding another little brother, there can be three princes under your knees in this Forbidden City, don't say that the emperor is the only one in his life, counting forward, it is also rare, my sister is so blessed. ”

Concubine Jia glanced at her proudly: "The blessing is in front of me, I know it very well in my heart, and I don't need my sister to mention it again." ”

Concubine Chun said: "On the day you gave birth, I was outside the palace gate, but unfortunately I met the emperor, and the emperor said that there are many people here, and I should not come over again, so I couldn't come to help, don't be surprised." ”

Concubine Jia rubbed her forehead and said, "Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling were here that day, so naturally there was nothing to do with my sister." Saying that, he was embarrassed and apologized, "Sister, don't be angry, I didn't mean that." ”

"What do you mean?" Concubine Chun smiled bitterly, "It's just that I've fallen out of favor, even if I'm in the position of a concubine, in the eyes of the emperor, it's probably not as good as a promise to always be there." ”

Concubine Jia's eyebrows raised and she sneered: "You said it yourself, I didn't say anything." ”

The person in front of him said, "Do you still want to talk about this, it's an obvious thing." ”

Concubine Jia looked at Concubine Chun carefully, what she said at this time was obviously not the noble and cold Concubine Chun in the past, it could be seen that she was here to show favor to herself, and when something like that happened to the third elder brother, she really had no hope. Concubine Ling Shufei's side, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat, so she wanted to win herself over? She retreated to the next best thing, and still planned to find a better reliance.

Concubine Jia secretly thought in her heart, she was not necessarily worse than Concubine Ling Shu, she had three sons by her side.

"Concubine Yu has been out of the palace for a while, and a few days ago I heard that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not harmonious, and the chickens and dogs in the house are restless." Concubine Chun smiled bitterly, "We all know the personality of Concubine Yu, it is difficult to be happy with the prince, she was originally the hostess of the family, but now she has to serve her mother-in-law, and she has to look at her mother-in-law's face." ”

Concubine Jia said: "Concubine Yu wants to see the face of the Queen Mother in the palace, and Concubine Wen Hui is pressing her, I am her, I would rather go to my son's mansion to be a prestige, who would dare not respect herself." ”

"But sister, have you thought about it, we, the women of the emperor, have been rich and noble all our lives, and we won't take a second look at the gold and pearls in front of us." Concubine Chun's expression looked sad and pious, as if she was saying something heart-wrenching to Concubine Jia, "People outside say that I fell the little princess and am a ruthless mother, but then again, the princess is a hundred times stronger than following me with a favorite concubine like Concubine Ling, you see what kind of situation I am in now, it is not as good as Emperor Huixian and Concubine Huixian who were sick at that time." ”

Concubine Jia didn't wear makeup in the confinement, but she had a good skin, her slender eyebrows were black and unpainted, and she was towering high at the moment, looking at Su Shi puzzledly: "Sister is here, what do you want to say to me?" ”

Concubine Chun looked at her and said: "I have no hope, but the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, the future is bright, the imperial concubine has not come out for many years, it can be seen that there is no heir, so who should the Qing Dynasty fall on in the future?" Sister, in the future, I will definitely call you the Queen Mother. ”
