The emperor smiled bitterly: "The queen is naturally the best thing to be a matchmaker, and what the queen can accomplish, why can't I do it?" He turned to Concubine Yu and said, "I care about your feelings, the son you have worked so hard to give birth to, the son you have worked so hard to raise, I can ignore anyone, I can't care less about you." ”

Concubine Yu looked at her son in a daze, remembering that before going out, Hongyan said that this was a matter between her and the emperor and Yongqi, she just wanted to see that her daughter-in-law would not interfere, and for more than ten years, Hongyan has been so abiding by her duty, she is favored, she is dominating the emperor's heart, but she will not break into other people's lives.

"I have something to say to Yongqi alone, you guys step back first." Hongli was very calm, looked at the queen and said, "If Concubine Yu is willing to ask you to be a matchmaker, I will give you whatever the queen wants." ”

The queen didn't know that Qingque's health was not good, and she couldn't think of any reason for Concubine Yu to refuse such a beautiful and lovely little girl as her daughter-in-law, and she didn't understand why she didn't hesitate to hurt the mother-son relationship to cut off her son's love. ”

She stepped forward to support Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu didn't dare to work the queen, she stood up by herself, and the queen walked to Qingque's side and said gently: "Get up, child, Concubine Yu and I will take you to the garden." ”

Yongqi looked at Qingque, Qingque couldn't take his eyes off him, the two were reluctant to worry about each other, but Qingque was taken away, Yongqi could rest assured that she knew that Eniang and the queen would not bully Qingque.

He also knelt in front of the big case, and when he went up and down, it was the father and son who were the monarchs and ministers, and the atmosphere in the hall was particularly solemn. Yongqi has rarely caused trouble since he was a child, and he will not be blamed by his father for his bad homework, and his other brothers will even be beaten, and it is rare for him to even scold him loudly by Amma, and he knelt down for so long that even the emperor felt uncomfortable, and said coldly: "Raise your head." ”

Yongqi hesitated slightly, slowly raised his head, he didn't remember how long he hadn't looked at his father carefully, and his familiar face seemed to suddenly have a strange feeling, his omnipotent and majestic and wise Emperor Ama seemed to be a little old. People in the year of destiny seem to be better maintained than ordinary people, but the family and the country are all over the world, today they must be concerned about whether the frontier is stable, and tomorrow they must worry about whether the people can have a harvest this autumn.

No matter what people in the world say about this generation of emperors, in Yongqi's heart, he always admires his father, and yearns for one day to become a wiser king than his father.

"I've never been uneasy about you." Hongli got up, bypassed the table, helped his best son up with his own hands, looked up and down at his sturdy and tall figure, and the pretending strong but childish face, and smiled helplessly, "So you have no fear and take a woman to break into the forbidden palace to threaten me?" ”

Yongqi panicked, and wanted to kneel down again, but was scolded by his father: "Don't kneel and kowtow at every turn, do you regret doing such a thing, regretting your promise to the green sparrow?" ”

"Erchen doesn't regret it." Yongqi said, "Erchen will never regret it." ”

"In the future, if the green finches can't give birth, you won't have a son-in-law." The emperor said, "Naturally, whether it is Ama or your imperial grandfather and grandfather, they are not princes, they are all princes and grandsons, and there is no difference between grandchildren." But you know, maybe one day, this will be something that will hold you back, even if you don't regret it, what about the green sparrow? For a woman who loves you, everything you give to her is exactly what she is willing to give for you. ”

Yongqi didn't expect that his father was going to say these things to him, and he understood the meaning of his father's words, and he was likely to contribute to the matter between himself and Qingque if he didn't object, but the pros and cons and benefits were in front of him, and his father wanted him to choose his own life.

"You don't have to come to kneel and beg me, Huang Ama has no reason to stop you from being with the woman you like, but it's not easy for your mother, and you must have complained in your heart that I didn't treat your mother well." Hongli's straightforward words made Yongqi very uneasy, but he still said, "I did treat your Eniang badly, but she is more self-reliant and self-reliant than anyone else, isn't it, she has earned a piece of the world for you and herself, your Eniang is a good woman and a good mother." ”

"Huang Ama, if E-Niang hears these words." Yongqi's eyes were slightly moist.

"A dignified man, with red circles under his eyes at every turn, what is it." Hongli kicked his son and scolded with a smile, "Go, as long as your mother nods, no matter what decision you make, I will agree." You'd better be mentally prepared, neither your mother nor I can allow you to have no heirs. If you can't give birth, you have to have a side room, unless you don't want ......"

"The retainers obey." Yongqi didn't wait for his father to finish speaking, so he kowtowed and thanked him, what he wanted, he wanted the world and the green sparrow.

On this side, Bai Li took Miss Qingque and followed behind the queen and Concubine Yu not far away, Concubine Yu didn't want the queen to interfere in many things, so she told her about Qingque's poor health, saying that she couldn't accept the fact that her future daughter-in-law could not give birth, and she couldn't block future generations for Yongqi's temporary enthusiasm.

Only then did the queen know the seriousness of the matter, and turned to look at Qingque, the weak and thin body bones were indeed not optimistic, Yongqi was not her son, she was enthusiastic, but she couldn't overheat. But she also put down her words in front of the emperor, and said: "It can be seen that it is not mine, but you have no jokes, so let's do it, if you and the fifth elder brother have an idea, I will be this matchmaker again." If the two children are not fateful, I haven't said anything, and no outsiders have heard it anyway, right? ”

Although Concubine Yu blamed the queen for being troublesome, she was still grateful when she saw her talking so well, and she thanked her again and again, and separated from the queen on the fork in the road. Turning around, I saw Bai Li walking up with Qingque, to say that although this child is thin, he is calm and steady, neither humble nor arrogant, and there is nowhere to pick the etiquette that should be, but Concubine Yu can not care about anything, even if Yongqi brings a crazy little girl, but she can't help but think about Yongqi's future. Although there are not a few children of the royal family who marry Chang Fujin and cannot have children, but they knew in advance that there would be such a result and did not avoid it, and Concubine Yu couldn't do it.

"Concubine Ling wants to see you, when the queen hugged you and gave you a name, she was also by her side, it can be regarded as fate." Concubine Yu said flatly, "Follow me to the spring of the Heaven and Earth Family, and my palace maid will teach you how to salute, so that the concubine is a kind person, so you don't need to panic." ”

"Yes." Qingque agreed, Zhou Zheng blessed her body, and then respectfully waited for Concubine Yu to go first, her words and deeds were comfortable to look at, and even Concubine Yu felt a pity.

In this compartment, Hongyan waited under the eaves with her stomach up, and kept looking to see if anyone came in front of the door. Finally heard the sound of footsteps, and saw Concubine Yu enter the door, she walked out of the thin little girl from behind with a shake of her body, and that glance was like a world away, and Hongyan felt as if she had seen herself back then.

"This kid is the blue sparrow." Concubine Yu brought the child to her, and without waiting for her to salute, she said to Hongyan first, "Yongqi will come in a while, and there must be something to say to me, I will put this child here, and then I will send someone to pick her up." ”

Seeing Concubine Yu's expression, seeing Bai Li's helpless wry smile on the side, Hongyan knew that the matter of children's love had not been properly resolved, she nodded to Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu turned around and left.

"The most troublesome thing in the palace is that you have to kneel down and salute at every turn, and I still promise to be there often, and I have to salute everyone I see, and I feel annoyed." Hongyan smiled slightly, she couldn't help her big belly, Xiao Qi followed by her side, so she asked Xiao Qi to help this sister up, but Qingque wanted to salute the princess again, Xiao Qi giggled and ran back to her mother.

"E-Niang has something to say to this sister, Xiao Qi went to the front to wait for your fifth brother, and when he saw him, he was reassured that E-Niang would not bully this sister." Hongyan sent her daughter away, and said to Qingque, "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I am tired of standing, and we are talking in the house." ”

Concubine Yu said that Concubine Ling was kind, Qingque had also heard the legend of this outside the palace, and I saw it with my own eyes today, and it was exactly the same as I imagined, but Qingque had seen many women with big bellies, and I had never seen a pregnant woman as beautiful as Concubine Ling.

After entering the door, Hongyan sat down, called the child to look up and down, shook her cold hand, and saw the scars left by the labor on her hands, she could guess how distressed Yongqi should be. However, these traces can be seen in the eyes, will be pitied, will be cared for, compared to some of the wounds accumulated in the heart, can not be seen or touched, even if there are people who want to comfort and heal, but no one will know where the injury is and where the pain is.

"You will never suffer again from now on, and no one will have the courage to hurt you again." Hongyan said gently, "But what path you choose to take now and how you choose your life determines whether you will hurt yourself in the future." ”

Qingque pursed her lips slightly, as if she was confused and seemed to understand what Concubine Ling wanted to say.

"Originally, these words should have been said to you by your future mother-in-law, not because I should have said more." Hongyan smiled, "But women have to be daughters-in-law, and they should understand the subtleties best, so in the same way, for me, an irrelevant outsider, it is easier for you to accept." ”

Qingque said respectfully: "Niangniang, please command." ”

Hongyan said: "Your future husband is the best prince of the current emperor, what awaits him is a splendid future, a heavy burden for the family and the country, no matter what position he sits in the future, he must be responsible for the court and the royal family." Therefore, on the other hand, it is impossible to be his wife. You have to bear all the pressure you can't bear, you have to share a husband with other women, this is a fact that is in front of you right now, and once you choose, you can never regret it. ”
