Concubine Xin handed her the tea tray in her hand, stopped in front of Hua Rong and said, "I think the queen is not looking for you, but for me, you can take this tea, if there is something in the mother, she will definitely call you again." I'm here to recuperate, but I'm always getting better, isn't it? Sharing the worries of the queen is the most important thing I should do. ”

Hua Rong watched Concubine Xin turn around and enter the door, and it didn't take long for her to come over and close the door again, and from the last smiling face she saw through the crack in the door, Hua Rong felt that she would never forget it. Although the queen's affection for Fu Erye often makes Hua Rong helpless, but in addition, the more than 20 years in the deep palace are still calm and stable. The queen erected a high wall for everyone, whether it was a woman's jealousy, or a partisan struggle involving the courtiers, she never cared, and she didn't even want to take on the future of the family, she has always lived in her own world, except for Fu Erye, she doesn't let anyone get close, and she never disturbs others.

But this concubine Xin broke in so strongly, and she didn't leave, compared to every trouble before, she really understood what real helplessness was at this moment.

Hua Rong called the little palace maid to take away the tea tray, and turned around to see Huiyun standing under the eaves not far away, she had been frozen to a pale face, and she didn't know if her sluggish expression was something in her heart or she was frozen stupid. Hua Rong fixed his mind and ordered: "According to what the queen said, clean up two rooms for Concubine Xin and send her gift to the Xiushan house." ”

In the Old Summer Palace, the warm sedan chair of the concubine is leaving from the mountain house, the doors and windows of the warm sedan chair are tightly covered with thick cotton curtains, even if the wind and snow are raging, the wind can not penetrate inside, I don't know whether the charcoal basin under the seat is too hot to make people feel impetuous, or the red face itself can not be calm, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the curtain, but only pulled out a gap, and the biting wind poured in.

And from that gap, Hongyan saw that the four or five eunuchs in front of her were circling around someone, and the cherry who followed the sedan chair had already seen it, she sent the little eunuch to run closer to explore the scene, and soon heard Cherry come to the window and say: "Niangniang, it was the twelfth elder brother who was there, and somehow ran out of the study, and the little eunuchs who followed were persuading the twelfth elder brother to go back quickly." ”

"It's not nonsense on such a cold day." Hongyan muttered, and after a little hesitation, he ordered the sedan car to stop.

There was already snow on the ground, Hongyan cautiously walked over there, and the little eunuchs who were turning around saw someone coming, they became more and more nervous, and their sharp eyes recognized that it was Concubine Ling, so they came forward to salute. Hongyan ignored them, and saw that the twelve elder brothers smashed a snowball at the little eunuch who was chasing him, and he was followed by a child of the same age, who knew that he was a noble child by looking at the dress.

"Elder Brother Twelve, it's so cold, be careful that your hands are frozen." Hongyan stood still, and Yongxuan had already seen her coming, and seemed to be a little disappointed, the child behind him followed and said a few words, and the two walked towards Hongyan together to salute.

Although the child is naughty, in the end he is educated, and he is polite and thoughtful, saying "Guifei Niangniang is auspicious", and said with a kind face: "Twelfth elder brother, the wind is very anxious at this time, rolling up the snow particles and fascinating the eyes, choking when he opens his mouth, and he is trembling when he speaks, which is not fun at all." When the wind stops and the snow accumulates, you can bring them to a snowball fight, even if you roll in the snow without being afraid of freezing, that's interesting. ”

Yongxuan didn't know what he was muttering, and when the little eunuchs with him saw that Concubine Ling was helping to persuade them, they all hurriedly followed up and said: "Little master, the slave will send you back to the study, today is Mr. Ji's lecture, if you are late, the minions' butts will bloom." ”

Hongyan shuddered when she saw the children who were following Yongqi, as if she was frightened by the words of the little eunuchs, and the Mr. Ji in their mouths should be Master Ji Yunji, the teacher specially selected by the emperor for Yongqi in the past. When he was young, he was proud of his talents, and later experienced the ups and downs of life to smooth out the edges and corners, and now he also has the truth of how to behave in the world, and being a gentleman is very serious, Yongqi has always respected him. Thinking that it should be what the queen wanted, the emperor let this Mr. Ji continue to teach the twelfth elder brother, when Concubine Shu chose Mr. for the eleventh elder brother, the emperor was not willing to bother.

"Whose child are you?" Hongyan was interested in the strange child, and asked gently, "Is it the new companion of the twelfth elder brother?" ”

For example, Fu Ling'an was Yongqi's companion, these noble children were selected to enter the palace to enjoy the same education as the prince, but they would also pay the price, the prince made a naughty mistake or did not do his homework well, they would be implicated to some extent, the punishment would be light or heavy, and the punishment would be dragged out to beat the board.

"This is Fucha Demin, the new companion chosen by the emperor's mother for me, and I only came to the garden yesterday." Yongxuan said this, pulled the child forward and said, "Ling Guifei Niangniang, he is Fukangan's nephew, he is the same age as me, it can be seen that Fukangan wants to call uncle." ”

Listening to the child's self-report to the family, and listening to the introduction of the twelfth elder brother, Hongyan knew that this Fucha Demin was the grandson of Fu Erye, and the heirs of the Fucha family were prosperous, and Hongyan couldn't remember everyone no matter how much she recognized, not to mention that these were all Fu Erye's grandchildren. But the queen actually chose Fu Erye's grandson to be her son's companion. I don't know if Fu Heng knows about this, because he hasn't had time to tell himself yet, or if they don't care at all?

Hongyan saw that the twelfth elder brother's hand catching the snowball was red from the cold, stuffed his sleeve cage into him, and bent down to dust off the snow on him, and said gently: "Twelfth elder brother, go back to the study earlier, it is the wax moon in a blink of an eye, until the first month, there are many days to play, and then take our seventh princess and ninth princess together, okay?" ”

Hongyan didn't blame the twelfth elder brother for sneaking out, nor did he tell him any big truths, but in this case, the child was more acceptable, the twelfth elder brother was very polite, thanked Hongyan for the sleeve cage he gave him, and promised to go back to the study immediately, Hongyan let him sit in his sedan chair, the little guy repeatedly excused himself, and ran away with Fucha Demin.

Watching the child run away alive, Hongyan showed a faint smile, Cherry came to persuade the master to go back to the sedan chair earlier not to freeze, but Hongyan read softly: "I didn't expect Yonglu to grow up, Yonglu doesn't know how fun a snowball fight is." ”

Cherry's nose was sour, and she persuaded: "The master should go back earlier, don't ask the fifteenth elder brother to cry and find Eniang." ”

Hongyan sneered: "How old is he, where do you know how to find a mother, now if you have milk, you are a mother, and I can't feed him." ”

The master and servant walked to the warm sedan chair, and happened to see Concubine Xin's people sending her soft to Kyushu Qingyan to the Xiushan House, they thought they were afraid of Hongyan, and they bypassed it from afar, just when they didn't see the concubine, Hongyan was too lazy to compare these little things, but she couldn't ignore the existence of Concubine Xin, she had already said in front of the queen that she must send Dai Jia's family away.

Cherry helped Hongyan to get into the sedan chair, and sighed: "It's just such a concubine, why is it so troublesome, the pure concubine at the beginning, didn't mean to send it away." ”

Hongyan said: "I felt very early on that Concubine Xin seemed to be repeating the path of the pure concubine, but it was very different along the way, just like in front of my eyes, I didn't know where to start." ”

She knew in her heart that if Concubine Xin really threatened the queen with Fu Erye's affairs, the queen's scruples did not need to be said, even Hongyan would be worried, what was really the matter, now Fu Erye's grandson can still enter the palace as a companion, and he can also have a bright future, and if something happens, I am afraid that there will be nothing.

In the Jiexiu Mountain House, Concubine Xin stood in front of her room and waited for someone to bring things over, and most of the people on the queen's side were quiet, and they were carefully selected by the Nala clan. They all listened to Hua Rong's orders, and Hua Rong told him not to disturb Concubine Xin, and not to meddle in the affairs of Concubine Xin's house blindly and diligently, so the people who delivered things came in and out at this time, and they were all busy with Concubine Xin's own people.

The queen gave a total of two rooms, or in the northwest corner of the Jiexiu Mountain House, whether it was the queen's intention or Hua Rong's deliberate doing, Xin Concubine didn't have the heart to calculate whether she could bask in the sun or not avoid the cold, if you want to talk about feng shui, where the queen of the middle palace is, what else is bad? For now, she can protect herself from being sent back to the Forbidden City, and she will be satisfied.

In the warm pavilion of the main hall, the queen listened to the little eunuch in the study say that Yongxuan ran out to play in the snow, her brows were tightly locked and worried, and she ordered Huarong to prepare ginger soup and send it to the study, and repeatedly told the little eunuchs to follow Yongxuan well, but she was not angry to fight or kill, and naturally the queen had never had such a violent temper.

Hua Rong said that the ginger soup had been delivered, and a clean cotton robe was sent for the twelve elder brothers to replace, and the queen said worriedly: "It would be good if I could go there in person, but I am afraid that if I go, I will make a mess of the study." ”

"Rest assured, the slave has sent a reliable person." Hua Rong said with a smile, "The age of following the Twelfth Elder Brother is too young, and it is not reliable in the end." ”

The queen said helplessly: "But that little thing, I don't like to let the older ones follow, and I can't do it." ”

Thinking about the child, the queen had a happy smile on her face, but now the Jiexiu mountain house can no longer be completely quiet, at this moment, there are palace people to tell you, saying that all the things of the concubine have been delivered, and the two rooms in the northwest can't be piled up, and the palace maid and the little eunuch who followed have nowhere to place, the smile on the queen's face is scattered, and she pushed Hua Rong and said: "You go to arrange it, why do you still want to ask me?" ”

Hua Rong sent the palace people down, covered the door and asked the queen in a low voice: "Why should the master be subject to Concubine Xin, no matter what she knows, let, we will end up with her." ”

The queen shook her head again and again: "What if?" What if what she said is true, she died clean and simple, and Fu Qingge's first life of meritorious service was innocent? ”

When Hua Rong listened carefully to what the queen said about Concubine Xin, maybe it was not the person concerned, maybe it was people like Concubine Xin, Hua Rong firmly believed that Concubine Xin was bluffing, and persuaded the queen: "Why should the master pay attention, if Concubine Xin doesn't die well, she can't even save her own life, who still works for her, the so-called person or those people, don't you obediently close your mouth and ask for a way to live?" ”

The queen looked at Hua Rong in a daze, and asked with a wry smile: "Hua Rong, if something happens to me, what will you do?" ”
