Tong Guowei has never clearly chosen a position among the elder brothers, and the princes and courtiers all know about this. Queen Xiaoyi is gone, the identity of the fourth elder brother's adopted son is already embarrassing, and now Princess Wenxian has died, and the last bond has been completely broken, and there is no reason for mutual trust between the Uncle Mansion and Yonghe Palace. Since Tong Guowei wants to find a suitable person to maintain the dignity of their relatives, he really has to make a careful and solemn choice.

Yinxi understands that they may not choose themselves, but at the moment, it seems that they may not choose the fourth elder brother again. Shun Anyan's face still has scars that have not faded, which is the hatred left by the fourth elder brother, if it will not be eliminated for the rest of his life, they will meet again in the future, and it will be impossible to avoid bringing up the old things again.

"Since it is Lord Tong's intention, please thank me for it." Yinxi accepted this favor, after all, with his own strength, it was impossible to find out enough evidence to subvert the Hesheri clan within the time limit set by his father, and the uncle of the country came to help at this time, and Yinxi had no way to convince himself to refuse.

Shun Anyan smiled bitterly: "Babel, I am no longer a concubine, the laws of the Qing Dynasty, once the princess dies, we will be nothing." ”

Babel frowned slightly and comforted him: "Jie Wai, no matter how others criticize you, I will not misunderstand your affection for Wen Xian." ”

"Thank you, Babel, but there's no point in talking about it now." Shun Anyan looked sad, bowed down and said, "Since my grandfather's matter has been completed, I have to go back to report to my grandfather." ”

The eighth elder brother said yes, but a stirring in his brain stopped Shun Anyan and said, "Since Lord Tong asked you to send these things, do you have anything else to say?" I mean......" When the words came to his mouth, Yinxi was a little hesitant after all, but seeing Shun Anyan's calm expression, he was relieved and asked, "Did Lord Tong say that what impact this incident will bring, the emperor has the intention to suppress Suo Etu's party to the end, since it is entrusted to me, this matter will definitely have a result, but I am worried that the result will affect the prince, and I don't know which step is most appropriate." ”

Shun Anyan came to approach the eighth elder brother by the emperor's will, but the emperor did not teach him what to do, but he is a smart person, and the eighth elder brother is even more intelligent, the evidence of the crime he sent to Suo Etu is a show of goodwill, and the sentence that the eighth elder brother is asking now is also a gesture of goodwill, but the eighth elder brother can accept the things he sent, but he can't accept the kindness of the eighth elder brother at will, and he can't make the eighth elder brother feel that he is rushing to slap him, and his affection must be cultivated slowly, and if he is Shun Anyan himself, he will not easily trust one, even if he is not an enemy, But people who are not on the same side as themselves in the first place.

"Grandfather didn't say anything else, but sent me something, and Babel forgave me for my foolishness and not thinking about it, even if you asked me what I meant, I couldn't say it for a moment." Shun Anyan humbly said calmly, "Although I am no longer a concubine, I have been dealing with many etiquettes after the princess's death, and my grandfather's sudden explanation of this matter also made me feel very sudden." Since you have this question, when you go home to tell your grandfather at this time, you can ask for Babel. ”

Yin Yu said: "No hurry, no hurry. ”

Shun Anyan left in a hurry, with many years of experience as a guard, he knew what to do not let people find out his whereabouts, Yinxi didn't have to worry about someone being suspicious of them, but he looked back and saw the two thick volumes of incriminating evidence on the table, he was weighing how much he took out and presented to his father. He believed that the Emperor Ama had already held all the evidence in his hands that was sufficient to subvert the Hesheri clan, and he could estimate what he could do, not so much as to give him a heavy errand, but to test his abilities, and if he did not do well in vain, he did too well, and his father would inevitably suspect who he was associating with behind his back.

Yin Yu aimlessly flipped through the records in the book, and when a light lit up in front of the door, he saw his wife coming and said gently: "It's a good ginseng soup, you can drink a little." ”

"It's been a little hot these days, so let's put it on for now."

"yes, I forgot." Ba Fu Jin smiled embarrassedly, reached out and rubbed the lid of the soup cup, and asked hesitantly, "Are you going to Zhang Gege's house in a while?" ”

Yinxi put away the things sent by Shun Anyan, and said to his wife: "It's the day you arranged for me, saying that Zhang Gege is in good health these days." ”

Bafujin sighed, stood there motionless, and stopped talking, Yinxi saw it in his eyes, understood what she wanted in his heart, stepped forward and held her cold hand in the palm of his hand, and said softly: "You have to cherish your body, for me, you are more important than children, what if you take your life next time?" ”

"But I ......" Bafujin was sad after all, and he fell on Yinxi's chest and choked up, "Even the crown princess was laughed at and couldn't give birth to the emperor's grandson, I'm afraid that you will be looked down upon, it's all my fault." ”

Yin Yu said lightly: "What are you laughing at, Huang Ama is not a son-in-law, isn't he still the emperor?" ”

The word "emperor" stimulated Bafujin, she raised her teary eyes to look at her husband, and once again made up her mind: "It's late, go to Zhang Gege's, don't ask her to wait too long." ”

However, since Zhang Gege was threatened by Concubine Hui and the eldest brother, she understood that the eighth elder brother's mansion was not suitable for children at all now, and she was afraid that once she became pregnant, she would become Concubine Hui's next target, even though Fujin sent her tonic medicine every day, even though the eighth elder brother spent the night in her house for many days every month, but before and after she and Yinxi*, they would secretly drink cold medicine, which was much more important to her than to save her life. So no matter how much Bafujin looked forward to it, Zhang Gege's stomach never moved.

March 18 is the longevity festival, although the emperor is still on the way back to Beijing, the palace can not be missing the corresponding etiquette, the concubines, the prince, the Fujin, etc., under the leadership of the queen mother, in the Yinghua Hall incense salute, sacrifice to the ancestors, ask for the emperor's dragon health and health, the Qing Dynasty prosperity. After the ceremony, the Queen Mother set up a stage in Ningshou Palace, Concubine Rong Hui and the Crown Princess hugged the Queen Mother first, Lan Qi stayed to take care of the remaining things in the Yinghua Palace, and walked a few steps late, just Concubine Yi was waiting for her sedan chair to pick her up, and she was listening to her banter with Jing Concubine and An Concubine: "The princess comes to the Yinghua Palace from my door every day, I heard that she is asking for a child, but the prince is out of the house, which one is she going to ask for a child?" ”

That is, Concubine Yi, dare to take Yuqing Palace as a joke, Lan Qi coughed lightly and passed by the side, Jing Concubine felt a little embarrassed, Concubine Yi saw her walk over generously, thinking that Lan Qi was going to walk in front of her, and couldn't help but say: "The sedan chair of Yonghe Palace has not arrived yet, Sister Concubine De, the sedan chair that came over is mine." ”

Lan Qi smiled: "The spring flowers are blooming, take a walk to loosen your muscles." ”

Concubine Yi involuntarily touched her waist and abdomen, watched Concubine De go away, and her sedan chair arrived in front of her, she was not angry for a while, and shouted peach: "Let's go too." ”

But the road from Yinghua Hall to Ningshou Palace is very long, Concubine Yi hurriedly came, the drama on the stage has been started and sung with gongs and drums, when she was about to enter the door, a group of little guys rushed out of it, the little emperor and grandson and the little county lord wanted to go to the imperial garden to pick flowers for the great grandmother to wear, Concubine Yi was hit by them and staggered, and the princess, Wen Fujin, Wufujin and Bafujin and Jiufujin came out, saluted to Yifei Niangniang, and wanted to go with them.

"Young is good." Concubine Yi looked at the figures large and small in the distance, and sighed to the peach beside her, "If I can go back to the old days when Concubine Tong invited us to watch the play, I really want to live again in this life." ”

In the imperial garden, the children scattered and went to pick flowers for the great grandmother, the crown princess and the Fujin told them to be careful not to be scratched by the branches of the face and hands, there will be no mistake with the nursing mother and the palace maids to follow, and the concubines will find a pavilion in the sunny place to sit down and chat, Jiufujin said: "The imperial grandmother now likes lively dramas more and more, and the noise is so bad that my head hurts, I would rather come here and watch the children with my sisters-in-law." ”

Wufujin asked Jiufujin if the little brother in Jiufujin's family was okay, and said that the side Fujin of the fourteenth elder brother was also pregnant, and they couldn't help but talk about having children, although Jiufujin didn't dare to accuse the princess of not, but she looked down on the current situation of Yuqing Palace in her heart, and she didn't respect the princess at all, even though Bafujin reminded her several times to stop talking, she still poked the princess's sore spot again and again. No matter how well the crown princess was cultivated, she was not happy to listen to such words, so she got up and left under the pretext that she couldn't see the children while sitting here.

As soon as she left, Jiufujin chuckled: "It's only her own fault, she worked too hard, and she can't blame others." ”

The crown princess walked casually, because she saw a few children climbing high, she had to send out the people around her, let them be careful, she unconsciously walked to the river, but saw her daughter talking to Hongyun of Sibeile Mansion, seeing that the child was in a much better mood, she quietly stepped forward to scare her daughter.

But when I walked in, I heard my daughter say: "Why don't Brother Honghui come, Brother Honghui will make flower baskets." ”

Hongyun said: "My brother is accompanying my grandmother, my mother said, my brother is the son of the eldest grandmother, and my grandmother loves him the most, he is different from me." ”

The little county lord wondered: "What's different." ”

Hongyun blinked his eyes and said, "Anyway, it's different, my mother said that she is a side Fujin, so it's different." ”

The child's simple words made the princess unhappy, and the original intention of teasing her daughter suddenly disappeared, and the girl was attracted by the butterfly flying in front of her at that time, and ran away with the butterfly, and the palace maid and grandmother around her followed, but unexpectedly there was no one around Hongyun.

But at that time, a flower in Hongyun's hand was dropped into the river by him, and the little guy was lying on the big stone and wanted to reach out to catch it, but the princess ran over involuntarily and shouted anxiously: "Hongyun, you have to be careful." ”

But the ghost sent the gods, and at the moment of approaching the child, he did not know what kind of demon he had, and the hand that should have grabbed the child's shirt and lifted him up, and uncontrollably used a force forward, and with a plop, the child fell from the side of the big stone into the water.

This made the crown princess wake up, and she opened her mouth anxiously to call someone, and when she looked back, she saw Bafujin standing not far away in a daze.
