"Amma, what should I do?" Hongyan was sad for a while, and she didn't dare to really cry, but her face was full of nervousness.

In Wei Qingtai's opinion, his daughter didn't seem to realize the sin of seducing the emperor, but was afraid of such a thing, and she was too ruthless to the queen. It must be that she has no intention of the emperor in her heart, and the queen is the most important person for her.

"I hid from the emperor for a while, but I was told by the emperor and my mother." Hongyan said again, "That time was because I said something that was out of proportion, and I was scared, and both the mother and the emperor knew it." But if I hide from the emperor after that, if they think it's strange, how can I explain it? ”

Wei Qingtai frowned: "You can only stay by the queen's side every step of the way, don't have any misunderstandings about the melon fields and plums, in fact, I also heard that someone saw you talking to the emperor on the road, but it was dozens of eunuchs and palace maids on the side, I thought it was nothing, who knew that people with a heart would think more." ”

Having said that, Wei Qingtai understands that his daughter is unintentional or not necessarily the emperor is unintentional, his daughter is beautiful, the emperor is suave and romantic, and the women in the palace are all his people, but he wants it or not. But the girl is the person next to the queen, if the emperor really has this intention, he doesn't care about the queen's feelings?

"Niangniang likes to send me to do something important, and I don't always want to excuse myself." Hongyan was in a very low mood, and it was hard for her to show it on her face today.

"Child, the body is not afraid of shadows, Ama asks you, do you have such thoughts in your heart?" Wei Qingtai asked.

"How can there be, my mother treats me so well, but I can't think like this if I have a little conscience. Don't say that they are talking nonsense, even if my mother forces me, I will not obey. The red face and eyes were shining, and every word came from the bottom of his heart, "Amma, my daughter can't do such a thing, how can you doubt me?" ”

Wei Qingtai was very distressed, pulled his red face to the side, and said in a loud voice: "Ama doesn't mean this, Ama thinks, since you don't have the idea of non-separation, then you will be an errand by Niangniang's side as before, otherwise you have the heart to avoid it, but make others think that you are weak-hearted." If the mother misunderstands because of this, it is even more difficult to explain, you are still the same as before, and there is no other better way now. ”

Hongyan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, there is really no better way now, she can't hear a few gossips and take it seriously, maybe those little eunuchs are not only aimed at her, but another person also has this kind of rhetoric? After listening to her father's instructions, Hongyan reminded herself again and again not to think wildly, explained the errand, and went back to Changchun Palace.

But the queen is with her every day, her complexion is not good or her spirit is not good, she can see it in her eyes, she feels haggard when she gets up this morning, and when she comes back and sees her face clearly crying, when others are not there, she asks her: "What's the matter, I went to the Internal Affairs Office, which one can't bully you?" ”

Hongyan had already had a plan in her heart, and responded: "Niangniang forgives her sins, it was the slave maid who met with Amma, and when she said that Eniang missed the slave maid, she couldn't help but redden. ”

The queen sighed: "It's not easy for you, but you can still see you Ama from time to time, Qianya and their family are not in the capital, and they can't see each other for a few years." is to be a queen, and it is not much different from you, it is rare to see your family, but they kneel under your feet, and the taste is even more uncomfortable. ”

The scene under these words soon appeared in front of the queen's eyes again, the next day at the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet, the Fucha clan came to salute, the queen looked at the familiar faces of the past, now only separated by steps, wine table, as if thousands of mountains and rivers are so far away, what family affection, has long disappeared.

During the banquet, the queen's silk handkerchief was wet with wine, but someone kept coming to greet her, and she couldn't leave, so she told Hongyan to go back to Changchun Palace to get another piece of silk handkerchief. Originally, it was good to send the palace maids and eunuchs under him to run errands like this, but the queen's silk handkerchiefs were all stored in the cabinet, and others could not easily touch them, and only Hongyan had the key to the cabinet.

She left quietly, and a palace maid was inconspicuous, and no one should have cared, but soon after, the emperor also left the table, but he was walking with several princes, and there was nothing strange about it, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, it is different.

In the seat, Liyun pretended to pour wine for the master, and whispered in her ear: "Master, the emperor and that red face are gone, who knows what to do." ”

Jia Concubine has been grounded in Qixiang Palace for a long time, it is rare to have a state banquet today, the Queen Mother doesn't want to look bad on the scene, after all, she is the biological mother of the fourth elder brother, so she is allowed to attend, but she doesn't know how to release people, and even let out the trouble, at this moment Jia Concubine is asking Liyun: "Those words, have you dispersed?" ”

Liyun smiled proudly: "At least the princess must be able to hear it, but I don't know if the queen really doesn't know, or pretends to be confused." ”

When the nobles of the Houhai saw the concubines and servants whispering, they knew that they couldn't have good things, and their eyes turned to other places, the queen was busy dealing with the foreign women, but the concubine stared at the empty dragon chair. And the other pure concubine was also whispering with the palace maid next to her, An An looked at the drama on the stage, only Concubine Xian was alone, and Hai Guiren smiled bitterly, but now she is the most detached.

Hongyan took the silk handkerchief and rushed back to the Qianqing Palace, just as she met several princes walking in front of the door, they were talking to each other about the family and the country, Hongyan didn't understand, she just wanted to go back to the table. Turning around and being surprised to see the emperor coming out of the side hall, her heart was pounding, and she quickly stepped aside, secretly thinking that the emperor must not talk to her, but she was afraid of something, and the emperor stopped when he walked to her.

"I haven't seen you laugh today, is there something going on in Changchun Palace?" Hongli frowned slightly, although it was a coincidence that he met Hongyan, but he did have something to ask, from yesterday evening to today, he didn't see Hongyan again, the little girl who was happy to see everyone seemed to disappear suddenly, Hongli felt very uncomfortable. But he couldn't ask deliberately, but he occasionally met at this moment, and there were no idle people around, so he said it.

Hongyan's chest rose and fell due to the hard breathing, but if she didn't gasp, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she didn't know where she got the courage, so she responded: "I've been busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet these days, and the slave maid is probably tired, the emperor ...... It's okay in Changchun Palace, haven't you been by your mother's side for the past two days? ”

Hongli saw that she was so nervous, something must be wrong, for fear that Hongyan would be bullied by someone, but he really couldn't say it. And Hongyan looked at the emperor, recalling that when she was in the garden, the emperor occasionally met her, and would say something similar, and even asked her to take care of her body so that she could serve the mother, but she didn't feel strange at all before, why was she so uncomfortable now, was the emperor's words wrong, or was she thinking crankily first?

Hongli glanced at Mr. Wu, and hurried away, looking up sharply as if he had met an amnesty, Mr. Wu was smiling at her: "Are you okay?" ”

Hongyan shook her head: "The slave is fine, I have to go back to my mother." ”

Manager Wu was obviously much more natural than the emperor, and said with a smile: "Be careful, don't let the lady drink too much." ”

The two places dispersed like this, Hongyan returned to the banquet, and the queen saw that her face was flushed, and she was disgusted: "Who is in a hurry to urge you, run so fast, go down and take a breath and come back." ”

Hongyan refused to leave the queen at all, and after a few words, the queen saw that she was fine, so she didn't force it.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet dispersed, the emperor rarely went to Changchun Palace during the festival, Tete turned over the brand of the pure concubine, and others were waiting to see the joke of the pure concubine again, calculating whether the emperor would go to the Changchun Palace halfway, but tonight the pure concubine left the emperor in the Xianfu Palace, and there was no movement.

In the Changchun Palace, the queen drank a few more glasses of wine today, very tired, and the emperor repeatedly missed the appointment with the pure concubine for her, even if she was humble tonight, she still had this heart, and she didn't care where Hongli went tonight, and after coming back to wash, she had to rest.

Hongyan was pestered by the princess to go to her room, and she was a little happy with the princess, the two knelt down to the mother and left, and went out to see Wang Gui coming, Wang Gui beat the princess, but his eyes when he looked at Hongyan were a little strange. And Hongyan was dragged by the princess and kept walking forward, and she didn't care about the princess's side.

In the room, the queen combed her hair in front of the mirror, and when she saw Wang Gui coming, she sank her face impatiently, and now that there is no treasure, it is Wang Gui who tells her some things from time to time, although it also makes her impatient, it is much better than before.

"Qianya, go to the small kitchen and tell the bird's nest tomorrow morning not to put too much rock sugar." The queen commanded, and Qianya also understood that this was to break her up and go to the small kitchen for a while, but she would not come back at this time.

When everyone retreated, the queen herself held an ivory comb and gently combed her hair, and asked, "What's the matter, from the Xianfu Palace?" ”

Wang Gui's face was full of entanglement, and he bowed down deeply and said: "Niangniang, the slave is guilty of death, but some words are true, the slave heard that she was ...... red."

On this side, in the princess's bedroom, He Jing stood on the bed after washing up, Hongyan was dressing her in bedclothes, she looked down and saw two soft balls on Hongyan's chest, and then saw that she had nothing, and couldn't help laughing: "When can I be like you, when can I be like Eniang?" ”

Seeing the princess staring there, Hongyan blushed and said, "It's good that the princess grows up." ”

He Jing didn't believe it, and said: "But Qianya is a few years older than you, why doesn't she have it?" ”

Hongyan was helpless: "The slave maid doesn't understand, the princess is so smart, she must know more than the slave maid in the future." ”

"But when I grow up, I'm going to get married, and I don't know what kind of person my forehead is." The princess was young, but she thought about things so far, she sat down, and said with a little sleepiness, "I don't want to leave E-Niang at all, now I can come to Changchun Palace to be with E-Niang every day, I have to laugh at night dreams, I wish I would be like this for the rest of my life." Otherwise, if even I am gone, when Huang Ama doesn't come, what will E-Niang do alone? ”

Hongyan put down her bun for the princess, gently pulled up her hair, and said in a good voice: "The princess should go to bed early, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

He Jing lay down, but took her hand and said, "What about you?" Do you have to leave the palace when you are old, can you stay in the palace with me for the rest of your life like those grandmothers? If you promise, I will give you whatever you want. ”

But the child was very sleepy, and before Hongyan answered, her eyes were already confused, Hongyan gently patted her, and her heart turned upside down. She didn't have time to think about the future, she didn't know how to go through this pass in front of her eyes, as if there was nothing abnormal around her now, but she couldn't face the guilt in her heart, she obviously didn't do anything, but she seemed to be sorry for the queen.

At this time, the princess's nurse came over and said politely: "Hongyan, the mother seems to be looking for you, so leave it to us here." ”
