After the tenth elder brother died, Concubine Qing stayed by Concubine Shu's side all day long, but she was just a weak woman, she was tired and fell asleep on the beauty couch last night, and woke up this morning with an extra quilt, but Concubine Shu on the couch was nowhere to be seen.

Hongyan put on her clothes and went to the east hall and asked Qing Concubine: "What about Chunmei, why didn't you guard her master?" ”

Qing Concubine trembled and said: "Chunmei is out to look for it now, she was not on duty last night, and the little palace maid on duty was also asleep." She couldn't help crying, "Sister, will something happen to her?" ”

There is a blessed sea in the Old Summer Palace, the bottom is not visible, when she went out on the way to the queen, she guarded the queen, it was a sleepy queen who went out and fell into the river, the queen did not want to die, but Concubine Shu ......

"Don't cry, it's important to find someone first, she can't get out of the garden, as long as she is still in the garden, she will definitely be able to find it, she is weak like that, how far can she go?" Hongyan grabbed Qing Concubine's hand and said, "Sister will be fine, you stay in the east hall, if she comes back by herself, you can guard her well." ”

Hongyan shook around Concubine Shu's dormitory, the things on her dressing table did not move at all, and she did not turn out beautiful clothes to wear, as if she ran out in her bedclothes, she was not afraid of freezing on a hot day, but it must be very embarrassing, the dignified concubine, swaying outside in bedclothes, even if she can be found safe and sound this time, but anyone who has seen her will definitely be talked about in the future, how can she afford it.

When Hongyan left, she brought a set of clothes that Concubine Shu wore on weekdays, the Old Summer Palace was full of good scenery, and there was no place that Concubine Shu particularly liked on weekdays, so she went out aimlessly to find it, it would only be a waste of time, Hongyan sent her subordinates to different directions, and she herself took the clothes and went to the lotus pond.

Last summer, the tenth elder brother just toddled, they took the tenth elder brother to shuttle in the lotus pond by boat, the little guy actually remembered the good there, this spring to see the hundred flowers blooming, on the milk said "boat", Concubine Shu hugged the tenth elder brother, the Buddha taught him to say "on the boat" and "lotus" The scene is still in front of him, but the child did not have time to take a look. Hongyan was afraid that Concubine Shu would throw herself into the river to seek death, so she only remembered this memory, anyway, there was no direction to find, so she broke here.

The lotus pond is covered with lotus leaves, if you really rush into it, you can't float, Hongyan's heart is pounding, and the palace maids and eunuchs who are scattered along the lotus pond are looking for it, she is dragging Concubine Shu's clothes in her hands, and the sweat in her palms almost soaks the clothes.

"Niangniang......" suddenly heard Xiao Lingzi's shout, Hongyan immediately ran towards him, and saw a small boat left the shore, stuck between the dense lotus leaves and did not move, there was a person in it, the oars had long since drifted away, Hongyan said angrily, "Get the boat over, go to find someone, where are the people guarding here?" ”

Xiao Lingzi took a few little eunuchs to jump into the water and swim over, tossing for a long time before pulling the boat closer to the shore, and the eunuchs in charge of the lotus pond guarded came at this time, one by one they didn't know what to do, Hongyan was too lazy to settle accounts with them, and jumped on as soon as the boat stopped. Sure enough, Concubine Shu, who was wearing bed clothes, was crooked inside, as if she was asleep and fainted because she was too weak, Hongyan saw that her breath was stable, so she put on her clothes first, and when she smoothed out the green silk for her, the sleeping person woke up.

"Hongyan? Where am I? Concubine Shu looked at the cramped cabin in a daze, as if she remembered what happened last night, and immediately burst into tears, Hongyan held her in her arms, and she cried bitterly, "My child, my child has no ......"

Hongyan also wanted to cry, but now she is Concubine Shu's support, she must be strong. Seeing that Concubine Shu was unable to calm down for a while, he ordered the palace people to go back to the Tiandi family to deliver news in the spring first, and then found the eunuchs who supported the boat, so as to avoid their sin of leaving their posts without permission, and let them rock the boat into the middle of the lake.

The boat gradually moved away from the shore, there was no noise and noise, only the sound of the oars paddling could be heard, the sun gradually warmed, there was a thin mist on the lake, like a paradise in the quiet, Concubine Shu gradually calmed down, she leaned weakly in Hongyan's arms, the sparkling waves on the lake made her unable to open her eyes, squinted slightly, and her haggard face could not see her former beauty.

Hongyan said: "You want to come here and fulfill the child's wish, don't you?" Sister, you don't want to die, do you? ”

Concubine Shu's throat was dry, and she coughed lightly a few times before saying, "I don't know, maybe it's good to die, I don't know what it means to be alive now." ”

Hongyan gently straightened out her messy long hair with her fingers, and said gently: "Are you willing to be Yu'er, you can't be her mother-in-law, you don't want to find a good mother-in-law for her in the future, with your aunt who is noble Concubine Shu, who dares to bully her?" ”

Yu'er is the daughter of Fu Heng and Ruyin, when the child is still in Ruyin's belly, Concubine Shu is going to be a daughter-in-law, and after getting a little niece as she wishes, she is even more loved as a daughter-in-law, and she is full of hope that his tenth elder brother can marry Yu'er as a blessing in the future. Now Yu'er can also walk, and she can staggering with Brother Shi, but the little brother is suddenly gone, and Yu'er will not even remember that there was such a person in her life in the future.

Concubine Shu cried again, her thin body trembled, and she said with a red face: "Ruyin will bring Yu'er to you tomorrow, if something happens to you, what if Yu'er loses her aunt as a backer, what will happen if she is bullied by her mother-in-law in the future?" Being alive is better than anything else, how old are you, Concubine Jia can give birth to an eleventh elder brother at the age of thirty-eight, don't you want to have another one? ”

Concubine Shu shook her head and said weakly: "I don't want to have any more children, the two children have no fate with me...... The third one will definitely not end well, I must have done sins in my previous life. ”

"Sister, you can complain or cry, but you must live well, promise me not to do stupid things." Hongyan had tears in her eyes, "Do you know, the queen is in so much pain, she wants to live, and there will be hope when she lives." ”

"I know......" Concubine Shu didn't even have the strength to cry, raised her head to look at Hongyan, stretched out her hand to caress her cheek, and a thousand words melted into the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes.

The boat docked after half an hour, they saw the emperor standing on the shore from a long distance, and the side was already preparing another boat, probably not waiting for them to come back, the emperor was going to chase by boat, the boat docked, Hongli personally got on the boat, and hugged Concubine Shu from Hongyan's hands, they looked at each other, didn't say anything, Hongli hugged Concubine Shu ashore, and said to her: "Next time I want to enjoy the lotus, I will bring you, but you have to take care of your body first." ”

Concubine Shu was in the emperor's arms, but her heart was indescribable, she didn't dare to force the emperor to be as sad as herself, but the emperor couldn't let her go no matter what she did, although the embrace at the moment was reliable and stable, but she didn't have half a nostalgic heart. just tilted his head into the emperor's chest naturally, not wanting those palace maids and eunuchs to see their embarrassed appearance, so they were carried by the emperor all the way to the sedan chair and returned to the world together.

Concubine Shu was found safely, and there was a false alarm, saying that Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu went to enjoy the lotus, and they were inevitably criticized, but fortunately, Hongyan brought her clothes, and no one saw her more embarrassed side. The emperor showed great tolerance for this, and neither pursued the people around Concubine Shu nor the people in the lotus pond, he and Hongyan both hoped that this matter could be spent peacefully.

After Concubine Shu took the medicine and fell asleep, guarded by Concubine Yu, the emperor came to the red room to rest, the eight-year-old Buddha has been slim, and obediently sent warm tea to Huang Ama, and said: "Huang Ama, don't be greedy for cold in summer, you drink warm tea and rest, it will be cool soon." ”

She climbed to the emperor's side and held a fan to dispel the heat for her father, but Hongli hugged her daughter over and kissed her again and again, "Huang Ama is not hot, Fo'er will go to play by himself for a while, Ama and Eniang will talk." ”

Hongyan called her daughter to her and asked her to go to the east hall to accompany Concubine Yu, if Concubine Shu woke up, don't say what she shouldn't say. Buddha wrote down her mother's words one by one, bowed in a regular manner before retreating, watching her daughter leave, Hongyan remembered that she was at this age when she first saw Hejing, and in a blink of an eye Hejing was already a mother, but the child went to Horqin, and still refused to come back, the emperor broke his daughter's heart on the way to the south, and how could Hongyan understand a few letters.

Hongyan couldn't help but say: "Hasn't the emperor been going to the grassland recently?" ”

Hongli understood what she meant, and said, "I can't be idle this year, I'll go on a trip next spring, and I'll go and bring Hejing back." ”

Hongyan said: "The queen mother left this daughter together, and the emperor will hurt more, don't worry about her." ”

When she said this, she couldn't hold back her tears, Hongli got up and sat down beside her, and gently comforted: "For the sake of Concubine Shu, you also have to cheer up." ”

Hongyan turned his face and said: "It would be nice if the emperor was more attentive, the concubines know that you are busy, especially when you are so busy that your feet don't touch the ground, but Sister Shu is too pitiful, would it be good for the emperor to accompany her more?" ”

The emperor for the women around him, put it in his heart like Hongyan, only the love between men and women is like Concubine Shu, among which the emperor understands and understands Hongyan, in fact, even Concubine Shu understands that the emperor has done a good job today, but the reaction given by Concubine Shu naturally illustrates the relationship between each other, which is subtly different.

"It's not that I don't bother, you also saw it, Concubine Shu doesn't want to see me." Hongli explained.

At this time, Chief Manager Wu was outside asking if he could come in, the emperor was angry, his tone was heavier, and Chief Manager Wu was also helpless, and said embarrassedly: "Long live Lord, someone in Ningchun Hall came to ask, what happened to Concubine Shu." The Queen Mother said, if you have time, go over, if you don't have time, the Queen Mother will make a decree first, and set the day for Dai Jia's entry into the palace. ”

Hongli said angrily: "When do you have to mention this matter? ”

Mr. Wu: "Your Majesty, in March, you promised the Queen Mother that as soon as the queen mother gave birth, she would set a date." ”
