143 I can't live without you
Hongyan has imagined countless scenes of reunions with the emperor, she dresses herself carefully every day, and looks forward to Hongli coming to see her every day, but this is her deepest thoughts, and she can't even say about the concubine and cherry. I didn't expect this day to finally come, but in this small kitchen full of fireworks, Hongyan panicked, and asked: "I can't come, why is the emperor here?" ”
"So you don't want to see me?" Hongli smiled, he hadn't seen him for a year, but his red face had never disappeared in his heart. Whether it is the court or the harem, he has done everything that will make the queen mother happy, today, he just wants to do something that can make him happy, he said, "Last year's birthday, we broke up unhappily, today I came to ask for a bowl of longevity noodles to eat, I will leave after eating noodles, I promised the imperial grandmother not to disturb you, I can't break my promise." ”
"The emperor is obviously here, and he still says something to break his promise." After a year's absence, she thought that when she saw the emperor again, she would be as nervous and overwhelmed as if she had met a stranger, but she didn't expect to open her mouth with such a sentence. After speaking, her heart was beating wildly, what was she pretentious, her heart was already happy like a flower, the long-awaited thing came true, she clearly wanted to rush up and stick it to his chest, but she still muttered a few boring words.
"I'm hungry." Hongli sat back at the table, with such a gentle and affectionate gaze, as if this whole year had never existed, and they had been separated from each other for a year, and they didn't need any preparation and running-in, and they continued to pick up as soon as they met.
Hongyan turned around to prepare noodles, today is her birthday, the small kitchen has already prepared silver silk noodles, she is now in Yingtai every day to prepare the concubine's meal, everything is handy, a moment to send steaming shou noodles. Carefully sent to the emperor, Hongli immediately picked up the chopsticks and started his hands, last year's scene is vivid, seeing the emperor eating so deliciously, Hongyan really thought he was dreaming. She lowered her head and leaned closer to take a closer look at the Emperor, as if to confirm if she was too longing and hallucinating.
Hongli smiled deeply, raised his hand and touched her face lightly: "What are you looking at?" Then Hou Zai looked at Hongyan carefully, I haven't seen him for a year, the emperor has not changed much, but the people in front of him are getting more and more beautiful, but it's a pity that he saw Hongyan in the kitchen, and he didn't see what Fu Heng saw at the beginning of the year.
"I will definitely come to pick you up, but I don't know if I should look forward to that day, it's very contradictory." Hongli became more calm, a few chopsticks to eliminate a bowl of noodles, compared to eating in the palace more than a dozen people around the circle, put down the chopsticks and wiped his mouth with the cuffs, where is there an emperor's dignity, but this is very compatible with the red face who is busy in the kitchen, he raised his hand and signaled the red face to approach.
Hongyan's heart fluttered, just now she turned around with a bowl of vegetables and saw the emperor at first glance, she wanted to rush up, at this moment she saw Hongli open her arms, just hesitated for a moment and pounced, and Hongyan's strength also made Hongli understand her mood, how worried Hongyan was that Hongyan was already dead, and how worried that Hongyan would be as unresponsive as wood when he saw him. Now that his soft and warm body was embraced in his arms, he finally felt that it might not be a bad thing to send Hongyan here.
Before coming, Hongli thought of a lot of things to say to Hongyan, but the two snuggled up to each other and couldn't say anything, he almost felt that Hongyan was going to fall asleep in his arms, and couldn't help but say, "You have nothing to say, you have to say to me." ”
Hongyan rubbed his head: "This will be satisfied." ”
Hongli couldn't help it, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, wanting to go further, the person in his arms smiled so sweetly, and said narrowly: "The emperor came secretly, there are many people here who have never seen Tianyan, the emperor is not afraid of being discovered, and if it is not good, even if this place is surrounded by water, the concubines can't wash it away." ”
"Nonsense. There is no one here, who can you learn these words with, ......I haven't seen you for a year" Hongli couldn't help touching Hongyan's body, looking at her cheeks crimson, he still tried to restrain himself, but he couldn't put it down and kissed again, and when they couldn't bear it anymore, Hongli gently brushed the emanation in her ears for her, and said pitifully, "I'm fine, you have to be better, I will definitely come to pick you up." ”
Hongyan nodded, seeing that the dishes on the side were almost no hot, she had to say: "The emperor is leaving, the concubine Niangniang knows that it's nothing, let others see it and pass it back to the Forbidden City, this year the wife is peaceful, and the concubine can calm down and learn a lot of things." As for the future, I am willing to work with the emperor, everything is according to fate, and there is nothing more important than peace and well-being at the moment, but I ask the emperor to take care of the dragon's body. ”
Hongli smiled and said, "You too." ”
But Hongyan said again: "Also, the emperor should not forget the concubines." ”
This sentence made Hongli's heart bloom, he initially thought that Hongyan had lost trust in himself, and after being hurt again and again, he would rather leave forever. The anger and sadness that turned around and left at that time were clear at this moment, but he felt even more guilty about it, no matter what, Hongyan's feelings for him were far better than his feelings for Hongyan, he was the only one for Hongyan, but Hongli still had so many women.
And this whole year is used to precipitate the feelings in his heart, Hongyan also fully understands that he has already fallen into love for the emperor, not only because he wants to return for his kindness, but also because he has the ambition to be angry with anyone, falling in love is falling in love, no one can deceive his heart. She didn't know how long she could be with the emperor, maybe she would never see each other again after this time, even if it was in a dream, Hongyan had to be worthy of this relationship, and she finally removed herself from the position where she owed so many people.
The emperor didn't entangle, calculating that the holy car would soon return to the Forbidden City, if he didn't appear, the world would be in chaos, and he couldn't cause trouble for Hongyan, if he couldn't even be peaceful here, he still calculated what to take Hongyan back in the future.
Sending the emperor away, Hongyan's heart that was instantly filled began to become empty again, until she could no longer see the figure, she shook her head, turned around and continued to prepare a few side dishes, and finally found a little eunuch and sent her to Qingyun Palace.
Talking with the father-in-law in the palace, Concubine Wenhui also came over, seeing Hongyan returning, and his father-in-law stepped forward to ask for peace, Hongyan asked Cherry to stop and asked, "Father-in-law is coming, is he not leaving?" ”
He said with a smile: "The slave still has to leave, and some things in the palace still need someone to watch." ”
The two concubines glanced at each other, but they didn't break it, and they also saw the strange look on Hongyan's face. Mama Yuzhi was curious about what she was talking about just now, and said: "The Queen Mother likes the fifth elder brother so much, but she didn't raise her by her side...... No, it's Concubine Yu's child who is raised by her side. ”
He explained to his father-in-law: "After raising it for a few days, it was sent back, and the Queen Mother was not unhappy, and Concubine Yu often took the fifth elder brother to Ningshou Palace, and it was still as good as before." ”
Cherry couldn't help muttering on the side: "Why did the emperor seal Jia Concubine, such a bad person, he actually became shoulder to shoulder with Concubine Xian." ”
Hearing this, Cherry immediately hid behind Hongyan, although the child has grown up a lot in a year, he is still young, and he has no scruples about talking and doing things in Yingtai, but he is more free than in the Forbidden City, she saw that her grandfather was unhappy, so she said timidly: "I won't say it again." ”
He father-in-law knew that his granddaughter was loved by the masters, and he was not in a hurry to teach her the truth at this moment, but when he mentioned Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu, he shook his head slightly: "The higher the position, the prince under his knees, and now the situation in the palace is very different from the early years, and the concubines are still the cleanest here." ”
Hongyan hugged the cherry, and when she heard her father-in-law say this, she knew that the emperor must have new troubles now, but for some reason, she was not afraid to go back because of this, but if she didn't have a chance to return, it was also a good thing that she didn't have to mix with them in public.
In the Forbidden City, the holy car returned from ascending, the emperor naturally appeared, Fu Heng explained some things, and he didn't notice anything unusual, but Hongli said: "The queen said that your Fujin is about to be born, you are waiting at home these days, there is nothing important here for me, and it is not too late for you to take over other things after she gives birth." Your sister is very worried that you came to report the good news earlier. ”
Fu Heng thanked him, and after the emperor entered the Qianqing Gate, he retreated, but he did not leave the imperial city, and he was still explaining today's affairs with his colleagues, and an inner servant hurriedly came to him, and said anxiously: "The adult's family came to spread the word, saying that Fujin is about to be born, please return to the house immediately." ”
"Why are you going to give birth today?" Fu Heng was nervous, and others urged him to hurry back. When he left the imperial city, and at the same time there was news sent to the inner palace, I heard that my younger brother and sister were about to give birth, the queen was happy for a while, but suddenly realized that today was the Double Ninth Festival, it was Hongyan's birthday, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and thought in her heart: How many lifetimes is this fate?
Let's say that Fu Heng rushed home, they have moved their family into the new house, the new house has the magnanimity that the children of the nobility should have, he and his wife are no longer crowded in a courtyard with their subordinates, the magnificent main courtyard is bigger than the small house in the past, he returned in a hurry, there were more than a dozen maids and women standing inside and out, and they were not crowded.
He rushed straight to the delivery room, and the subordinates stopped him and said that it was not appropriate, saying that the lady of Nalan Mansion was coming soon, and the eldest lady of the family also went to invite them, but Fu Heng asked them to get out of the way, and he didn't bother to explain, so he broke in.
Ruyin has been tortured so much that she is angry, the first-born person, there is no elder in the family, she suddenly said that she was going to give birth, and her husband was not around, she was suffering in fear and hesitation, and the moment she saw Fu Heng, she broke down and cried.
Fu Heng didn't know what she should do at all, she grabbed Ruyin's hand in a panic, Ruyin finally calmed down after sobbing for a while, and a burst of pain struck, and as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, she was knocked down.
"Ruyin...... Fu Heng's heart swelled inward, and said, "You can't have anything, I can't live without you." ”
Ruyin opened her eyes suddenly, she had heard these six words before, but Fu Heng didn't say it to her.
