"This hairpin, is the concubine taking it for the emperor, or is the emperor taking it back?" Concubine Shu shook the things in her hand, her eyes were tactful, and she called Hongli love or hate, and responded, "What do you want, I will depend on you." ”

Concubine Shu said: "I thought that the emperor would bring the beauty back, but I guessed that it was the owner of this hairpin, and the concubine could also send it back as a personal favor." But the emperor didn't bring anyone back, and he couldn't help but feel that the owner of this hairpin was pitiful. She handed the hairpin to the emperor and said, "Long live Lord, everyone sleeps and relaxes, it's time to talk about what you have seen and heard on the road, and the palace will be lively when you turn back." ”

Hongli took down the hairpin and reproached: "You are all a person who is a mother, you are not allowed to have so many hearts, you must have a good birth and raise ten elder brothers in the future, don't let him learn badly." ”

Concubine Shu smiled: "Ten elder brothers naturally follow the emperor to school. ”

Hongli knew what she was talking about, and it was hard to blame her, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed her face and said, "What do you want, how can I not follow you, why bother making such trouble?" ”

"The concubine is afraid that the emperor and Concubine Ling's sister will have a disagreement, if she really sees this hairpin and hides it in her heart and doesn't say it, a small thing will become a big grievance in the future, the emperor likes the scenery of Jiangnan, how can he only go this way?" Concubine Shu said, "In the future, the concubine and sister will go down with Hu Nan to open their eyes, don't worry about your sister when the time comes, and she is not happy to go with you." The emperor doesn't have to come to coax the concubines, the concubines now have ten elder brothers, and they are satisfied, which still makes the concubine's sister pitiful. ”

Hongli became more and more uneasy, this time he went south, read all the spring, repeatedly had to restrain himself and was tempted by the beauty repeatedly, and even indulged in the spring on the way back to Beijing. Although it is not the first time to go out of Beijing for a tour, it is the first time that I have walked so far and gone for so long.

That's Jiangnan where even a grass and a tree are delicate and lovely, and there is no one like An Yi around him who can control him, and the people he cares about don't follow, the queen mother and the queen don't care, and the concubines are not qualified to talk too much, those officials are like tricks to find fairy-like women, or enchanting or charming, compared to the concubines in the palace, they have seduced all the men's thoughts. Hongli's mind was hot, and when he woke up, he couldn't hold it anymore.

"The concubines are going to rest, they can't talk to the emperor more, the emperor should go elsewhere." Concubine Shu smiled softly and called Chunmei in, "Go and tell Concubine Ling that Long Live Lord has passed." ”

Hongli raised his eyebrows, got up and stopped: "I myself have passed, you stay and take care of Niangniang." ”

The emperor pinched the hairpin in his hand, and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back, Concubine Shu saw with her own eyes that the hairpin was broken in the emperor's hand, which showed that it was not an important person's thing, but how to mix in the emperor's reward, the emperor must also be curious in his heart, maybe someone wanted to deliberately provoke the relationship between the emperor and Concubine Ling. She discussed it with Hongyan, and did what Concubine Shu said, Hongyan just saw it but didn't say anything, and saw how the emperor gave her an explanation.

In the palace of red faces, Concubine Yu quietly retreated because the emperor arrived, and the Buddha was still in the excitement of playing all the way, she was already able to clearly describe the things she encountered on the road to Eniang, and said delicately: "Eniang, let's go out to play together next time, Fo'er thinks about Eniang, and on the other hand, she thinks it's fun outside and doesn't want to come back." ”

Hongyan teased her: "Then do you want to have more Eniang, or do you want to play more outside?" ”

"Of course I miss my mother." Buddha hugged Hongyan's legs, "E-Niang, I want to sleep with E-Niang tonight, and Fo'er wants to sleep with E-Niang." ”

Hongyan looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty, my daughter's wish must be fulfilled." ”

Hongli coughed dryly: "I know, I just came to see you, I have really worked hard for you in the past few months." ”

Hongyan said with a smile: "The garden is so idle that people are bored, where is it hard, every day to accompany the concubine and Sister Shu to joke, speaking of it is the first time I have time, I have visited all the scenery in the Old Summer Palace, but I am at ease." She looked at the emperor carefully, Hongli took this trip, the whole person seemed to be youthful, it can be seen that the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are more people, she knew that the emperor was indulging in intemperance, and she was worried that he would return with a weak appearance, so it was okay, anyway, she didn't see it, anyway, those women didn't come back.

"When you come back, everything is ready, even the ink in my study is moist, it can be seen how careful you are." Hongli said, "Hard work is hard work, don't be modest." ”

Hongyan hugged her daughter, looked up and down at the emperor, and asked the Buddha, "Did the emperor take you to play?" ”

The Buddha nodded again and again: "Huang Ama took the Buddha to climb the mountain, go boating, and go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and the son made a wish." Huang Ama said that he couldn't tell it, Eniang, don't ask me. ”

Hongyan put her ear to her daughter's chest and smiled: "E-niang, listen to it, maybe you can hear it." ”

The little girl was afraid of itching, giggled and wanted to run away, and wanted to run to Huang Ama's side, but suddenly remembered something, turned to her mother and said, "But my sister is not happy, I see my sister crying secretly." ”

This time and Jing also went south with Hu, it was the Queen Mother who wanted to take it with her, and if He Jing followed the queen to Mount Tai together, he would not be unable to see his mother for the last time. But what happened at that time was so coincidental, and if he Jingruo drove with him, the child in the womb would not be able to be saved. It's still sad to think about it now, Hongyan pressed her mind down, and coaxed Buddha and said: "Sister must miss your little nephew, in the future, when the little nephew grows up, let's go out together, with the little nephew by her side, my sister won't cry." ”

Buddha believed it, and ran to his father and said, "Huang Ama, it's good to take me out next time, Buddha likes to be outside." ”

The mother and daughter sent the emperor away together, Chunmei came to pick up the little princess in the middle of the middle, saying that Concubine Shu missed her, Hongyan reminded her daughter not to make noise, so she asked Chunmei to take people away, and turned to the emperor and said: "There will be an early dynasty early tomorrow morning, not to mention a day or two of rest, don't approve the excerpt tonight, let the hospital send a bowl of calming soup, drink it and go to bed early." ”

Hongli frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say: "I originally wanted to rest here with you, since my daughter ......"

Hongyan smiled softly: "The emperor doesn't feel sorry for his concubines, so he said that I worked hard, didn't he?" The concubine went to the queen mother first to say goodbye, and the queen mother reminded the concubine to be a little measured, don't let you get tired. ”

Hongli was displeased: "The emperor said these words to you? ”

Hongyan said: "The concubine thinks that it should be." ”

The emperor wanted to make some things clear, but Hongyan looked like he didn't care, and he didn't know where to start, so he finally left the world under Hongyan's persuasion. This night alone in Shaojingxuan, there was no woman to accompany him for a long time, and he couldn't sleep peacefully all night, and the next evening turned over Concubine Ling's brand, but Mr. Wu came back with a sachet and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling Niangniang is uncomfortable, and I just ordered the Internal Affairs Office to temporarily remove the green head card, and it will take five or six days to ......."

Hongli has been away from Beijing for a long time, and he doesn't remember what day Hongyan's moon letter is, since she said that she is uncomfortable, of course she can't force it, so for five or six days after that, there is no one around to accompany her, as if she is really pure-hearted and has few desires.

On this day, Cherry finally got reliable news from Manager Wu, there was nothing strange in those people who prepared things for the emperor to send to the palace, and after careful investigation, he learned that Princess Hejing once stopped them and asked what to send to Concubine Ling Shu, just because the emperor sent things to the palace almost every other day, the specific day is not clear, but it is very similar to the day when the hairpin came, Cherry said with certainty: "Except for the princess, no lady has ever interfered in this matter." ”

Hongyan asked Cherry not to say it to others again, and she couldn't mention it to Concubine Shu again, if it was really Hejing, Hongyan seemed to understand why Fo'er said that she saw her sister secretly shed tears.

In the blink of an eye, it has been half a month since the emperor returned to Beijing, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the concubines are too lazy to go out. And the tenth elder brother is full moon, Concubine Shu is reluctant to hold a banquet to celebrate because of the hot weather, saying that it is better to wait for a hundred days to celebrate, and the weather is cool in autumn at that time, and her body is better.

But Ruyin still wanted to enter the palace to congratulate her cousin, and brought a lot of things, Concubine Shu teased her: "I really came to show the arrogance of the Fucha family, dare to love the lack of these things in our Nalan family, and I want you to make up for it." ”

Ruyin said with a smile: "Sister said this kind of thing again, I know that your body is well, there is nothing to worry about, but my sister still listens to me, it is not easy to raise a son, I have a good one for you, you can quickly take it, and if you ask me in the future, I will not give it." The Fucha family is arrogant, and I really don't need to show off. ”

Hongyan was disgusted on the side: "You don't have rules to speak now, and it's not good for the children to listen to it." ”

Ruyin told them what she had seen and heard along the way, in fact, it was almost the same, Hongyan had heard others say it these days, but Ruyin mentioned one thing and said: "Although I avoided Jinan Mansion this time, I remembered one thing, sister, do you remember the orphan named by the queen?" ”

Hongyan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the child she met in the nunnery before the queen died, and said, "I remember that the queen gave the name of the boat she was on to the child, called Qingque. ”

Ruyin said: "Exactly, I told Fu Heng about it, and he specially sent someone to the nunnery to ask, but the child was taken away that year, because there was an agreement, the people in the nunnery refused to say who adopted it, but just told us to rest assured, saying that the child must have been taken away by a good person." ”

Hongyan said: "I also forgot about this matter completely, if I had thought about it earlier, we would have brought that child here." ”

Before the words fell, Cherry hurriedly came from the door and said nervously: "Mama Hua sent someone to spread the word, saying that the emperor and the princess had a quarrel in Ningchun Hall. Niangniang, go over and take a look. ”
