"It's not good to be a concubine, bother you with these things, you are happy, everything is long live." Hongyan said loudly, but the concubine signaled that Hongyan didn't have to work so hard, and asked her to take the note she wrote down to a charcoal basin and burn it, watching those things turn to ashes, Hongyan's heart was also settled.

"It's all a matter of time, a child is a child after all, how can it never change if he leaves the palace and goes out to be immersed in the world." The concubine asked Hongyan to help her to the window, and saw Xiao Qi and Ke'er playing outside, she smiled and said, "Since you said to the Queen Mother that because the emperor can have today's Wei Hongyan, then you should also remember the days to come, unless Hongli is gone, he will be your heaven." Hongli wants Yongyan to be the crown prince, you have to support your son, if other princes want to compete, naturally the emperor will stand in front of you and have nothing to do. But if the emperor values other princes, then you should put your mind right, unless Hongli is no longer alive at that time, you are qualified to gain power. But you also have to weigh it clearly, you can have no scruples when the emperor is gone, which also means that you have no biggest backer. ”

Hongyan listened to every word in her heart, if she thought about it with her heart, she might be able to figure out these truths, but she couldn't figure it out, and the concubine said to her: "Concubine Yu is attached to you and raised her son to adulthood, but she is not enough for Yongqi to rely on, you are also a backer for Yongqi, if Yongqi wants to subvert you one day, he will also lose a backer." Now you don't have to worry about how to face Yongqi, when the children come, you will be polite, and you don't have to worry about the children when they go, it is Yongqi who thinks about how to face you, at least everything at the moment, your use value to him is far greater than the meaning of hostility. ”

"The concubine doesn't want Yongqi to be hostile to the concubine for the future, as you said, the concubine has expectations for Yongyan because the emperor has a promise, if the emperor still values Yongqi, the concubine will naturally support him. I'm afraid ......" Hongyan looked at the concubine, but she wasn't sure if the concubine could hear what she said, and if she intermittently misunderstood, she would have to explain again.

But the concubine didn't seem to hear it at all, there were only two children playing in her eyes, while saying serious and heavy words, there was a smile in her eyes, seeing that Ke'er almost fell but was saved by the palace maid in time, the concubine breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Hongyan looking at herself intently, she smiled: "Don't be afraid, it's not time to be nervous, so in the next ten years, let yourself live a little easier, do you have to worry about hard work all your life?" ”

With such a wry smile, the Queen Mother touched her cheek distressedly and said: "For a little concubine, there are so many things, you waited a year to clean her up, although you have your style of doing things, but in the future, you still have to be more decisive." Naturally, don't let the concubine in the palace come out again, it's incredible to think about it, and do so much evil under everyone's noses. It is precisely because everyone thinks it is impossible that they will not think too much and will not doubt, and you will have to pay attention in the future. ”

Hongyan nodded and agreed, at this time the children who were tired of playing in front of the door came in, Hongyan asked them not to pester the grandmother for fear that the concubine would be affected, but the concubine said that the children were lively when they came, and she was afraid that the children would think she was old and didn't like to be close to her. But Hongyan still has something to do at hand, and she can't stay for a long time, so she can only leave the children in Pinghu Qiuyue.

Heavy snow for several days in a row, the deepest snow in the Old Summer Palace is said to be able to bury people in, this is not a fun thing, there are many local houses outside that are crushed by snow, the people are cold and hungry, the emperor is in a bad mood for a few days, Hongyan does not dare to let the children play in the snow in front of the door, for fear that Hongli thinks that his children do not know how to think about the suffering of people's livelihood. And these are the thoughts she spent by the emperor's side that others didn't know.

At this time, he walked along the palace road swept out by the palace people, and the little eunuch who followed behind him was planted in the snowdrift on the side of the road because he stepped on the thin ice, and the soles of his feet slipped and planted himself in the snowdrift on the side of the road, and a human figure was stretched out on the soft snow, Hongyan and Cherry both smiled, and Hongyan asked him to hurry back and change into clean clothes, don't wait for the snow on his body to melt and get wet. Xiao Lingzi was not at ease, and said that the road ahead was afraid that it would be more difficult to walk, so he took a few people back first, and wanted to carry the sedan chair, and asked Hongyan to take the cherry and the palace maid to walk slowly.

The master and servant supported each other and moved slowly, Cherry said that if the emperor knew that Hongyan would not go out in a sedan chair, he would have to complain when he turned back, and Hongyan warned her: "You are not allowed to talk too much, once or twice is fun, and if you are more, you are not afraid that the emperor will think I am too pretentious?" I want to go around by myself, not to make him feel sorry. ”

Cherry smiled: "The emperor is not afraid of your hypocrisy, the day before yesterday I asked the slave maid if you know if you have anything you want, and I can give you a surprise when I turn around." ”

Hongyan said curiously: "What did you say?" ”

Cherry shook her head: "Where can the slave say, you don't lack anything." ”

While talking, she heard the movement of someone falling, Hongyan thought that the little palace maid behind her had fallen again, and turned around and said, "You guys hold each other and watch your feet go." ”

But the people behind her were fine, but Cherry also heard the movement of someone falling, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen, and they heard the sound of pulling snowdrifts. Cherry suddenly became nervous, and while protecting Hongyan, she asked the others to look around. It wasn't long before a little palace maid covered in snow was carried out from the snowdrift, and Cherry relaxed her vigilance.

The little palace maid looked at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old appearance, her nose and cheeks were so red that she couldn't tremble, she was so distressed that she asked Cherry to hand over the hand stove in her arms, and asked: "On a snowy day, why are you wearing a single outside, this time you are sick, but you can die, where are you the palace maid?" ”

"Slave, slave and maid......" The child was so stiff that he couldn't say anything. The red-faced palace maid came over from the place where she fell and said to Hongyan: "This little palace maid seems to be collecting snow, and the two buckets on the ground are full of snow, and I don't know where to send it." A big hole had been dug out of the snow over there, and the snow had collapsed before she was buried. ”

Hongyan felt that the little palace maid was going to freeze to death if she went down again, and it happened that Xiao Lingzi brought someone to carry a warm sedan chair, so she asked people to put the palace maid into her sedan chair.

"Send someone to ask, where is the palace maid, let the steward come to see me, the emperor has worked hard to prevent the people from freezing to death and frostbite, does the palace have to kill first?" Hongyan has gradually taken back the matter of the Six Palaces recently, and in the past two years, she has been stirred up by Concubine Ying and a few people, and many of the rules that she had done before have been loosened, just to use this matter to reorganize the rules, Cherry knew the master's intentions, and immediately went to do it.

Concubine Shu heard that Hongyan had picked up a palace maid and came back, so she came over to join in the fun, but the child was really too cold, not to mention frostbite on his hands and feet, and at this time he began to have a high fever, his cheeks were burned red, and he was delirious. Concubine Shu came to Hongyan and said: "Look at the difficulty, don't stay in the house, if it's gone, it's going to be the New Year, how unlucky." If nothing else, isn't Long Live coming to you? ”

Hongyan was measured: "I don't even know where she came from, wait for the steward to come, and then let her go." ”

Concubine Shu smiled: "Although it is burned to a daze, it looks good, if it is really saved, don't stay by your side, and go back to leave trouble." ”

Hongyan knew what Concubine Shu meant, and said angrily: "You don't have anything serious, don't say what to set aside, since they have entered the palace, they are all members of the emperor, but they have not entered the eyes of the emperor." ”

Soon after, Cherry found the person above the palace maid, who was originally an errand boy in the imperial dining room, and without waiting for Hongyan to interrogate the people in the imperial dining room, Cherry inquired about it first. It was this little palace maid who was excluded and bullied, and asked her to wash the dishes but did not give water, and the sea of Fuhai froze, and she couldn't even use the river water, so she could only pick snow and turn it into water, and she almost froze to death.

The things that should be explained, the things that should be punished, Hongyan didn't have a soft heart, and the palace maid naturally couldn't stay in the heaven and earth family, but Hongyan was worried that she would not get good treatment after she was sent back, so she asked Taiyi He to send someone to keep an eye on it, and this matter passed in the evening.

In the blink of an eye, the day before Laba, Imperial Physician He personally came to tell Hongyan, saying that she had continuously poured dumb medicine on Concubine Xin, and she couldn't speak anymore, just in case she would give her another dose of medicine. At that time, she listened expressionlessly, she never thought that one day, she would do such a thing. Is it evil to punish the wicked?

On the day of Laba, the sixth palace went to Ningchun Hall to ask for peace, the queen mother was still in good spirits, and the matter of Concubine Xin did not give her too much blow, and she still had the same attitude towards Hongyan, but seeing that the queen and Hongyan were reconciled as before, it was inevitable to feel curious. Hearing that Hongyan picked up a palace maid a while ago, he asked Mama Hua: "Do you know where it is?" ”

Mama didn't think much about it, and directly responded to what she said: "It's the palace maid in the imperial dining room, and the mother sent someone to heal her, as if she was already well." ”

Sure enough, as Mama Hua said, after the palace maid returned to the imperial dining room, she was directly taken by the head of the imperial dining room, afraid that the concubine would ask at any time, and she was afraid that the people below would bully her again. Today, Laba presented Laba porridge, and also specially sent her to the spring of the heaven and earth family, Hongyan heard that it was the palace maid she saved that day, and said incredibly: "You are so soon, it can be seen that you are young and strong, but don't be reckless, raise more days, don't be lazy to eat the medicine given by the doctor." ”

Hongyan asked Cherry to find two padded jackets for her, and when Cherry brought it, she smiled and said, "What's your name, I'll go to the imperial dining room to explain things in the future, and I'll look for you." ”

The palace maid said respectfully: "The slave maid's surname is Wang, and the father-in-law in the imperial dining room is called the slave maid Yong'er." ”

Hongyan raised her eyes and took another look, although this Yong'er still had chilblains on her hands, but the person was indeed in spirit, and her red face was not frozen, but naturally good-looking blood, she remembered that Concubine Shu said that she was a good-looking child.
