The queen's heart turned upside down, her eyes were red, she folded her hands with her husband, and bowed her head and said: "The emperor's holy grace, the concubines should live up to the king." ”

Hongli smiled: "It's so serious that I don't feel comfortable, I still love to listen to you count a few times, it's not it, it's affectionate." ”

In July and August, the emperor spent dozens of days to precipitate the anger in his heart, and indeed found out that Hongyan was drugged by the queen mother, but there was no direct evidence to prove that the queen was acquiescing rather than ignorant. Hongli felt that the relationship between husband and wife for twenty years could not be shaken after all, he cared about An Yi to be so heartbroken, he hoped that his tolerance would make his wife wake up, since he didn't know about this matter, he finally chose to swallow it.

"I'm going to be a grandfather, it's not serious." The queen pressed the sour feeling in her heart and said sincerely, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

Hongli said: "When we know the destiny of heaven, Yongcong will also grow up, when he gave birth to the emperor's grandson, I am just the age of being a grandfather, and now it is too early, I am still young." ”

The queen smiled lightly: "At that time, I didn't know if I could have the spirit of the emperor's mother." ”

At the mention of his mother, Hongli's face changed slightly, and the queen also felt bored, but the emperor soon said something else: "In late September, the climate is pleasant, I want to visit Wutai Mountain, I want to serve the emperor and go with me, but I think you want to stay in the palace to take care of Yongcong, you may not be willing to go with you, if you don't go to the mother, you will naturally not go, I thought, it is better not to take the emperor to go." ”

The queen figured out her husband's thoughts and smiled faintly: "Do you want to say that you want to take Hongyan with you?" ”

Hongli was poked in the center of thought, and smiled reluctantly: "I want to, but she will definitely not go along." ”

The queen felt a little cold in her heart, but everything was really in front of her, she couldn't make mistakes again and again, and read Hongli's kindness to her, but after a moment of entanglement, the emperor said: "You can't let go of Yongcong, she can't let go of the Buddha, I'm afraid I can't take you away." ”

"You told me, I am naturally thoughtful for you, but Hongyan is a living person, if she really doesn't want to go, you can't tie her up? If you are reluctant to get on the road, you will definitely not be able to have fun, so you might as well consult with her. The queen smiled gently, "If Hongyan is willing to drive, there is me in the emperor's mother." ”

Hongli was happy in his heart, but he asked his wife for such a favor, he knew that he felt guilty, and he didn't dare to be very proud. But thinking that Hongyan has suffered so many grievances, she has always lived in the shadow of the Queen Mother in the palace, even if she takes her out for a walk for ten days and half a month, the sea and sky outside, and the pure place of Wutai Mountain, can comfort her physically and mentally.

The queen said: "I am not comfortable on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't miss the good day, the emperor should go to Yanxi Palace." ”

"I see." Hongli responded, thinking that it was the full moon of the eighth elder brother that day, so he said to the queen, "Concubine Jia is pregnant and gave birth, and I have many negligences, but if her temperament is not so restrained, I am afraid that she will harm others and herself." This time the full moon is happy, so I will give her some face, and I have named the eighth elder brother Yongxuan. ”

The eighth elder brother has a name, which is the will of the Mid-Autumn Festival during the day, the banquet is placed at night, and the concubines are idle during the day. Concubine Jia was unhappy with her preferences, and learned a new method of eyebrow drawing, and modified her plump cheeks due to childbirth.

Everyone dispersed at lunchtime, and the emperor gave the imperial meal at that time, and called Concubine Jia's face to shine, and the fourth elder brother also got out of the study early, and was sitting at the table at the moment eating with a mouth full of oil, puffing out his cheeks and complaining: "The study in the Forbidden City is really stuffy, and I still want to go to the garden." ”

Concubine Jia said with a cold face: "When I don't know that you only know how to play, what kind of place is the study in the Forbidden City, it is the ...... of the emperors of the past dynasties" She coughed a few times dryly, and nodded a finger on her son's head, "You give me a good life to study, otherwise you will be careful of your skin." ”

The fourth elder brother complained: "I am much better than the third elder brother, Huang Ama came to the study yesterday, I happened to be familiar with the book, Huang Ama did not praise me but did not discipline me, but called the third brother to scold him so bloody, Yongqi was scared and cried." ”

Concubine Jia added vegetables to her son and asked, "Did the emperor Ama scold Yongqi?" ”

The fourth elder brother was unhappy at this time, and said indignantly: "Huang Ama not only didn't reprimand him, but also hugged Yongqi to coax him, and then took Yongqi and Fu Ling'an out, and didn't care about us." ”

Concubine Jia's chopsticks hung in the air, and she felt cold when she heard it, Hai Jia's family used to be tossed by herself in a low voice here, how could she have thought that she would have a long face today by relying on a son, the emperor is really strange, could it be that the fifth elder brother was born in twenty-four months, how can he be so indifferent to Concubine Yu herself, but he loves their children so much.

Concubine Jia put down her chopsticks and asked with a serious face: "E-niang asks you, Yongqi is really smart when he studies?" ”

The fourth elder brother swallowed the food in his mouth and said embarrassedly: "Yongqi has already read the same book as Erchen." ”

Concubine Jia was furious: "Is it that in a few days, he will drive you away?" ”

The fourth elder brother couldn't wait to get under the table, his oily hand was on the side, as if he was ready to flee at any time, and said cautiously: "Eniang, Yongqi is smart, I'm stupid." ”

In Yanxi Palace, there is also a royal meal given by the emperor, naturally it is not in the Old Summer Palace that hundreds of dishes were sent, only one or two pieces were sent to Hongyan's favorite, and I knew that Concubine Yu was also there today, and sent a few Mongolian snacks with her, so that Concubine Yu was also happy.

Originally, Ruyin was going to come, but the queen had a small banquet in Changchun Palace, and Ruyin had to accompany the eldest lady and the third lady, otherwise she would be more willing to come to Yanxi Palace to be more comfortable.

Yongqi stood on the ground and memorized a poem, Hongyan just peeled a shell of crab meat, mixed it with ginger vinegar and summoned Yongqi to eat in her arms, Concubine Yu saw Hongyan patiently feeding, and said with a smile: "As soon as he sees you, he sticks to you, and eats by himself when he is at home, and he has to be fed when he is so old, so he is coquettish to you." ”

"Yongqi likes Ling Niangniang." Yongqi still has a little milky voice, and he is like this when he endorses, but he is very smart and has a very good memory, so he often endorses with a milky voice, cute and clever, how can he not please the emperor.

"Yesterday, you were still crying and asked Huang Ama to send it back?" Concubine Yu's eyes were full of love, how could she not be proud on such a day, and said with a smile, "Yesterday, the emperor went to the study to ask for homework, reprimanded his brothers a few words, and scared him, but the emperor was annoyed that he sent him back to Jingyang Palace, which scared me half to death, and I thought Yongqi was in trouble." ”

Hongyan hugged the fifth elder brother, "We Yongqi are so well-behaved, how can we get into trouble?" ”

Yongqi frowned and said, "Auntie, Huang Ama lost his temper yesterday and scolded the third brother for crying, so I cried." However, Fu Ling'an did not cry, and Fu Ling'an said that Lord Fucha did not allow him to cry. ”

Hongyan often listens to Ruyin talking about Fu Heng's education of his son is too strict and rigid, and it is true, Yongqi and Fu Ling'an are of the same age, they are still very young children, but they are already accompanied by poetry and books, and their childhood is not half childlike.

Concubine Yu said: "Then you should learn from Fu Ling'an, why is a man so good to cry at every turn?" ”

Yongqi crouched in Hongyan's arms, and said delicately: "Ling Niangniang said, I am still a child." ”

Hongyan smiled apologetically at Concubine Yu, feeling guilty that she had spoiled the fifth elder brother, how could Concubine Yu really mind, but told her son to eat the meal and play elsewhere, so greasy and crooked, Hongyan couldn't eat in peace.

The child was not determined, and when he was full, he flew away, Cherry and Xiao Lingzi came to take the fifth elder brother to play, and the small kitchen re-steamed a cage of crabs and sent it, Concubine Yu persuaded: "This thing is very cold, you have to be careful, and the emperor is too, knowing that you like it, you can't take care of your body, and send you so much." ”

Hongyan said with a smile: "What the emperor means is that the concubines are careful everywhere in order to get a child, this can't eat that and don't dare to touch it, it's not interesting to live, it's better to let it go, it's rare to taste it fresh during the festival, and I don't touch it on weekdays." ”

Concubine Yu didn't say more, separated a fat crab with Hongyan, and talked about the palace at will, Concubine Yu suddenly said: "I heard that the emperor is going to visit Wutai Mountain in September, do you know?" ”

Hongyan bowed: "I heard about it a little, but the emperor didn't mention it, and the concubines didn't ask." ”

Concubine Yu said: "It's not important, what matters is that the queen mother shouldn't go for the seventh elder brother, and the queen mother won't go either, is the emperor going alone?" ”

Hongyan stopped and was stunned, and then poured ginger vinegar into the crab shell, and responded: "Niangniang's meaning is understood by the concubine, what you said a month ago, and now the concubine also understands." If the emperor intends to take his concubines this time, he must refuse. When you go, you have a good time, but when you come back, it will be difficult. ”

Concubine Yu saw that Hongyan understood her mind, so she no longer said the same thing, but talked about her own business, and her eyebrows were worried, and said: "Yongqi is still so young, the truth I teach him can't be too deep or too shallow, I think I'm doing my best, but there are always times when I can't take care of it." He has a smart head, and when he learns it, he likes to show off, and the emperor naturally likes it, but he is so big, so he compares his brothers to him, how will he be good in the future? ”

Hongyan found out how difficult it is to be an emperor, he likes the woman he likes, and he loves his beloved son, but he will be pointed at behind his back, and even cause trouble. She Wei Hongyan is favored and jealous of the sixth palace, and the fifth elder brother is favored and is bound to be squeezed out by her brother and their mother, how can a cautious person like Concubine Yu deal with it carelessly.

"It's a pity that I can't say such things to the emperor, and I just realized that you told me that day, is it possible that the emperor likes Yongqi, and I still don't let him like it?" Concubine Yu didn't care about food, put down her chopsticks and said, "Yongqi is my life." ”

Hongyan handed the crab meat she had peeled to Concubine Yu and smiled gently: "Niangniang, the concubine also loves Yongqi, just as Niangniang loves Buddha." ”
