At first glance, Hongyan was very surprised in her heart, and she didn't dare to imagine what kind of face Concubine Xin was using to serve the king, but when her heart turned, her suspicious gaze fell on the emperor, the two looked at each other, and the emperor rarely couldn't read the meaning in her eyes, Hongyan smiled even more, and turned away.

Hongli couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at, smiling so ambiguously." ”

Hongyan said: "In broad daylight, what is the ambiguity between the concubine and the emperor?" She put away some of the sheet music books left by the musician, but she still had that meaningful smile on her face.

She turned around to leave, but was stopped by the emperor, Hongli frowned: "What kind of dumb riddle to play, I will tell you serious things, do you think I deliberately picked on the concubine to make you happy?" ”

Hongyan gently pushed away the emperor's hand, and said with a serious expression: "But the emperor, the concubines have never seen the women of the Qinglou, and I really can't imagine what those women look like. ”

"Isn't it just ......" Hongli rose up to explain, and suddenly a thrill in his heart, and finally met Hongyan's gaze, he was angry and funny, but he was embarrassed in the end, and Hongyan had already asked, "How does the emperor know the appearance of the fireworks woman, long live the Lord has seen it with his own eyes?" ”

"The more you talk, the more energetic you are, are you smart?" Hongli has a hard mouth, don't turn his face, he wants to lose his temper and suppress his red face, but he can't help but want to laugh, those things feel ridiculous when he thinks about them now.

"Oh." Hongyan answered lukewarmly, holding a stack of sheet music and was about to leave, the emperor saw that she was really leaving, even if she was just going to put a few books, she was not sure, so she stuck behind her back and followed her, the two walked around the room for a long time, and Hongyan finally couldn't help laughing.

The big man in front of him gritted his teeth and wanted to arrest her, Hongyan knew that he couldn't make too much trouble, so he took the initiative to stick to his chest, and said coquettishly: "The emperor can write it down, don't go to that kind of place again, don't let it go again." The concubine is not joking, if there is a next time...... If you want a concubine again, you can't. ”

Hongli hurriedly said: "I am just seeing and knowing, where is there really something, I am just a metaphor, when have you really seen it?" ”

The emperor's words, the preface does not match the afterword, he wants to cover up and does not have the confidence to deny everything, Hongyan doesn't want to pierce him, and he doesn't dare to really embarrass the emperor, so he said softly: "I know, anyway, wherever you go in the future, the concubines will follow, see which slave dares to seduce the emperor to that kind of place, and punish him for the nine clans." ”

"Concubine Ling is so bold." Hongli smiled, "If you are willing to go out with me, what else will anyone else do." ”

"That's not it." Hongyan's eyes were tactful, and seeing that the emperor's hand was not honest, she pressed against Hongli's chest and said, "In broad daylight, the Buddha will break in at some point, let's talk seriously." ”

The emperor finally went back to the bright window crookedly, Hongyan asked the cherry to send a warm tea to send the child, and peeled the chestnuts for him to eat, the two talked idly, the emperor mentioned that he had gone to Ning Chuntang to explain to the Queen Mother the reason for moving the Xin concubine back that night, and said: "In the past two years, it was the Queen Mother who instructed her mother how to train her, who knows what she has learned, I saw her lonely and helpless appearance before, because I remembered your former appearance and had a little pity, I thought that since I came to my side, I would pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, Who knew that she showed a kitsch that was diametrically opposed to her usual days, which made me feel very frizzy in my heart, where could I still think about those things. ”

The matter between the beds, Hongyan knows the emperor's preferences, and she doesn't know if the queen mother gave the wrong intention, or Mrs. Sutu figured out the wrong meaning of the queen mother, but if the queen mother really understands the emperor, there should be no separation between mother and son. It's not just that the emperor doesn't want to turn back, but the queen mother doesn't want to pull her son's heart back at all. One is unwilling to bow to his mother, but the other prefers his son to admit defeat, how can there be such a mother and son in the world?

"I only told you these words, you are not allowed to tell them as a joke, and neither can Ruyin." Hongli Road.

"Naturally, I can't say it, and the concubine also wants to save face." Hongyan smiled, and sent the peeled chestnuts into the emperor's mouth, sweet and soft and glutinous, but he wanted to eat a few more, Hongyan lowered his head and peeled the chestnuts and said, "The emperor should eat more chestnuts in autumn, this thing is the most beneficial to the qi and kidneys, so that the emperor can meet the spirit of the dragon horse when he meets the spring." ”

"Wei Hongyan." Hongli Youyou shouted her name, her blushing face trembled, but she couldn't wait for her to peel the chestnuts in her hand, the emperor had already deceived herself, and the cherries outside the door were holding melons and fruits, but she heard her master begging for mercy, "Don't dare, the concubine won't say it anymore, don't dare anymore......" She hurriedly held the melons and fruits and retreated, and gave them to the little eunuchs who came with the car to eat.

As for Concubine Xin, she lost her favor before she was favored, the emperor left from Ning Chun Hall that day, Concubine Xin was called to her by the Queen Mother, Hua Mama thought that the Queen Mother would be angry and scolded, but the Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't say anything, and she left a sentence for a while: "You go back and think about it yourself, you must know why you are disgusted by him, cold for a while, wait for the next chance, what to do and what to say, you must think clearly, there is never a shortage of beauties in this palace, but once the emperor is disgusted with you, it will be difficult to turn over." ”

Concubine Xin was sent back to her residence, the Queen Mother didn't even want her to come to Ning Chuntang, until the day when the palace returned to the Forbidden City, everyone saw her in the team ready to leave, several palace maids and eunuchs sent her soft to the carriage, Xin Concubine was still gentle and demure before, polite to the upper and amiable to the lower, I don't know how she offended the emperor that night, but just looking at such a person, I really can't find it bad, and she is so beautiful, even the elegant clothes will shine eye-catching, where does the emperor not like it?

Hongyan's frame was in front, and Concubine Xin only got a glimpse of it when she came with Concubine Ying and Concubine Qing to wait for a few ladies to get on the car, and then she was pestered by her daughter all the way to talk, and she didn't want to think about her. When she returned to the Forbidden City, the palaces were scattered, and she saw Concubine Xin on the side of the East Sixth Palace, who was standing outside the gate of Chengqian Palace, watching the palace people move things inside. And Hongyan can also come around here to arrange her residence to take a look.

The people of Chengqian Palace stepped forward and saluted, and said politely: "If there is something missing in the future, just go to the front or back to find me and Concubine Yuniang, there are so many people in the East and West Sixth Palace, we often have places where we can't take care of it, if you don't say it, you can only be wronged by yourself, and in the end it is not ours." ”

"The concubines don't dare, the ladies work hard all day long, but beg the concubines not to trouble you, where do you dare to say that it is the mother's." Concubine Xin bent her knees in a panic, and Cherry had already stepped forward to support her, and said respectfully, "The wind is cold, why should Niangniang stand here and watch them move things, enter the door early and ascend to the seat, and ask the palace maid and eunuch to salute you." ”

She said and returned to Hongyan's side, and said with a smile: "Master, the princess is gone, you should be looking for it, let's go back early." ”

With a red face, she smiled politely at Concubine Xin, and left with a few people with cherries, she was accompanied by only four or five people, but she didn't know where to get the extravagance, so that Concubine Xin looked at it stupidly, the figure of the group disappeared for a long time, she was still in a daze, it was the people around her who reminded her to ease her mind, and then she officially entered the door, ascended to the seat in the main hall of Chengqian Palace, and was worshiped by the palace maids and eunuchs under her.

This Chengqian Palace is magnificent, it is the residence of Empress Xiaoyiren of Kangxi in the past, Concubine Xin doesn't know what kind of mood Queen Tong used to live here, she feels that she is just a canary in a cage for people to enjoy.

And when she returned to the Forbidden City, she no longer saw the sky and sea in the Old Summer Palace, and she used to feel depressed, but now she feels that with the constraints of rules and regulations, many things are easier to do, and she can worry less. Now, Hongyan has a completely different mentality from before, she used to be just an "errand" person around Queen Fucha, but now, she treats these things as her own business, and really serves the emperor as a home, although she would rather the queen is still there, she continues to be an errand boy, but this inner belonging makes her understand her life and how to continue.

In the three or five days since I came back, I was adapting to the days in the Forbidden City, adding or subtracting things, and no one could take care of anyone. However, the Double Ninth Festival is coming, and there is nothing new about the festival every year, but Hongyan's birthday is different, whether it is the emperor or the sisters, they are always willing to come up with some new tricks to celebrate, but it depends on the emperor's meaning first, if the emperor occupies people, others will have to stand aside.

Buddha is the person who is most worried about Eniang, she is also the most qualified to go to the heart of the palace to ask the emperor Ama words, this day under the instruction of Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu, the little princess did not hesitate to take the slave to the heart of the palace, waiting to see the emperor Ama, ask her how to give Eniang a birthday.

But the minions of the Heart Cultivation Hall all had tense faces, and they all looked nervous, and when the chief manager Wu saw the princess coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Little master, why are you here now?" ”

Buddha is a smart girl, guessing that there is something important in the Heart Cultivation Palace, so she said: "Huang Ama must be busy, I will go to the garden to play for a while, and when the Emperor Ama is free, you come to me." ”

Manager Wu said: "The emperor is not busy with government affairs, it is your brothers who are inside, and the brothers are listening to the emperor's teachings. ”

Buddha nodded and asked softly, "Is Huang Ama scolding?" ”

Manager Wu squinted and smiled: "The princess will come back another day, and the slave must tell the emperor that you have been here." ”

Buddha faintly heard the movement inside, and didn't know what Huang Ama was talking about, thinking that her brother Yongqi was also inside, so she wanted to go back and tell Concubine Yu Niangniang, but she didn't forget to tell Mr. Wu: "I'm here to ask about Eniang's birthday, you have to pay attention." ”
