The Buddha was full of dissatisfaction, but she didn't want her mother to bear the grievances for her again, so she kowtowed to the queen mother and thanked her, and there were words in her mouth. Finally, under the humility of Hongyan's infinitely lowered posture, and under the constant good words of Mama Hua, the mother and daughter were able to get out.

When leaving Ningshou Palace, Hongyan thanked Mama Hua, but Mama smiled: "If the mother is a slave and maid, the slave and maid will not be able to explain in front of the queen mother, and the slave and maid just don't want the queen mother to be too angry."

Hongyan knew Mama's kindness, and she became more and more grateful in her heart, and she didn't want to stay in Ningshou Palace longer, so she left with the Buddha.

On the way back for the mother and daughter, Fo'er held Eniang's hand tightly, passed by the place where she had just punished the palace maid, and couldn't help but say: "Eniang, it's me who is not good, and I let you be blamed by the imperial grandmother, I must be cautious next time." ”

Hongyan asked her, "Is there a next time?" Now that you know it's wrong, do you go back and hit the board or kneel on the bricks? Seeing the little girl's confused and frightened eyes, she was distressed and funny, hugged her heart and said, "Silly girl, you are angry for your brother, and it is too late for Eniang to thank you." Moreover, even if you demolish the Forbidden City, if E-Niang wants to touch your finger, she has to ask you Huang Ama first? ”

Seeing that Eniang was so pampered, the displeasure in the Buddha's heart dissipated, and the queen mother was just showing her majesty in vain, and it had no impact on the mother and daughter. And about the rumor that the fourteenth is a disaster star, the red face drove to the child, anger and suppression is an attitude, ignoring it is even more high-profile, if those people are really afraid of the "magic" of the fourteenth elder brother, they will not chew their tongues at all, are they not afraid of retribution? They are just idle, but they are anxious to see the people of Yanxi Palace, since this is the case, then they must not be fulfilled.

Hongyan said to the Buddha: "You have grown up, and you can say some things." You see that everyone says that the relationship between the Queen Mother and E-Niang is bad, but your imperial grandmother is a person who can crush E-Niang with a single finger, why can E-Niang still live with all her beard and tail until now? Your emperor Amma's protection is there, and then there is E-Niang who doesn't care, no matter what she does or says, E-Niang doesn't care, then everything is the Queen Mother's own business, and it has nothing to do with E-Niang. ”

Hongyan said: "People are terrible, so what? Do we have to lose? ”

Compared with the queen mother's inexplicable shouting to teach herself, the mother's words benefited the Buddha more, and she didn't even bother to explain to others about not being able to go to the study. E-Niang told her early in the morning that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are to let her have fun to do in life, not to show off her skills in front of others, she is a princess, not an artist.

Although this matter was properly handled by herself, it still circulated in the Sixth Palace, and it was passed to the emperor, and Manager Wu carefully recounted the things inside, and conveyed the words of Mama Hua: "Concubine Ling did not quarrel with the Queen Mother, let alone let the princess play a role in resisting, the Queen Mother said whatever it was, and the two of them retreated." Mama said that since the mother has such a posture, please ask the emperor to consider it, if you have to fight with the queen mother for right or wrong, it will make the concubine Niangniang boring. ”

Hongli bowed: "You tell Mama to reassure her." ”

Manager Wu received the order and said: "The Empress Dowager sent someone to tell the emperor that Concubine Xin Niangniang will give birth at the beginning of the month of Lap, and the mother and child are safe now." ”

Hongli thought for a while and asked, "Have I not been to Chengqian Palace for a long time?" ”

Mr. Wu: "Since July, there have been many things in the imperial harem, the emperor has not only not been to the Chengqian Palace for a long time, but there are also very few concubines in the harem, and the queen mother will not be angry about this, the slave thinks that the mother just wants to remind you that there are still concubines to be born." ”

Hongli smiled bitterly: "If you don't say it, I really forgot about her, since you mentioned it, you sent something over, and said that it was my reward." Don't forget to add, "Give some to the Lan Guiren, it is also my reward, what the concubine has in the future, what the Lan Guiren also have, no less or worse, just the same." ”

Sure enough, when Chengqian Palace received the emperor's long-lost care, the things that could be sent were exactly the same and gave Lan Guiren a copy, and since the autumn and winter, Lan Guiren rarely saw the emperor, and thought that today's good things were also for the pregnant Xin Concubine, who thought that he could still be remembered by the emperor, and he was happy to show off in front of Xin Concubine for a while, and finally had to be persuaded away by Huiyun.

However, Concubine Xin's current eight-month-old body, she almost didn't get out of bed and went out in order to have a safe pregnancy, she was much plumper than before, the so-called swollen hands and feet of Concubine Jia in the past, and the so-called double breasts became bigger, these things that she had never experienced at all appeared one by one. Now her high bulging belly often makes her unable to sleep at night and even difficult to breathe, because she often refluxes the contents of her stomach because she has been lying still for a long time, and all kinds of unspeakable torture let her know why she can be seen through by Concubine Jia, who has given birth many times.

Today, in the face of Lan Guiren's smugness, she didn't even have the strength to be angry, and swallowed thousands of grievances, looking forward to giving birth to a son this time, so that she could raise her eyebrows. When the time comes, don't talk about Niu Hulu's family, even Wei Hongyan, she will ...... But every time she mentions such a thought in her heart, Concubine Xin will ask herself, what kind of enmity does Concubine Ling have with her, and they have obviously never done anything.

A few days later, when the emperor sent the reward again, there was another news that the emperor was going to Wutai Mountain. Lan Guiren held his own things, stood beside the Xin concubine's couch and said: "What kind of climate is it now, seeing the wind and snow blowing, the emperor goes to Wutai Mountain?" ”

The emperor really wants to go to Wutai Mountain, the rumors about the fourteenth elder brother in the palace have been banned repeatedly, Hongli has no intention of arguing for the child for Hongyan, thinking that it is better to take her and the child out for a walk, even if it is good to relax. But after all, there is a middle palace, Hongli first came to ask the queen if she was willing to take the twelve elder brothers with her, and the queen said indifferently: "The weather is getting colder and colder, after so many things, Qing'er's body is a little weak, and the concubine is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the journey, and he is very uneasy to leave him in the palace. ”

Hongli knew that the queen would not follow, although it was unfair to the queen, but he was really satisfied with the existence of the queen. She is very satisfied with guarding her Yikun Palace, she doesn't have much to do, and more importantly, in front of her, she doesn't have to worry about being good to Hongyan at all. But no matter what, the emperor still cares about the loss of the thirteenth elder brother and the fifth princess, but the queen's indifferent attitude makes him not know how to express his sadness and heartache, and as time passes, it is as if the two children have never appeared.

After the emperor consulted with the empress, he came to the queen mother to report, he bluntly said that since everyone is puzzled by the fourteenth elder brother, he wants to take the fourteenth elder brother to ask the monk to take a look, and ask the senior monk to eliminate the auspicious mantra for the little elder brother to pray for the Qing Dynasty, hoping that after the return of Wutai Mountain, it will bring auspicious wishes to everyone.

The Queen Mother's attitude when she saw the emperor was the same humble and obedient as when Wei Hongyan came to take away the Buddha that day, I don't know if the emperor influenced Wei Hongyan, or Wei Hongyan influenced the emperor, but such a beautiful thing cannot be tolerated in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Wei Hongyan is just a concubine, how can she be a concubine, can she do her part? But the queen mother can't stop the emperor from praying for blessings, and there is really no reason to leave Wei Hongyan behind, she has to do that, it is equivalent to tearing her face with her son, and now Hongli respects her everywhere and makes her obey him, before Concubine Xin gave birth to the prince, the queen mother really didn't have to toss.

In early October, the emperor drove to Wutai Mountain to pray for the blessing of the imperial court, and the harem concubine only brought the Yanxi Palace Concubine Ling, and her three children under her knees, thinking that the fourteenth elder brother was still in infancy, and he was born for 100 days, and the imperial concubine took him out of the house in a tiring way, which shows that the fatigue of the journey is nothing compared to the depressing and boring gossip in the palace. And the emperor obviously also took care of the child's young age, and walked slower than the queen mother in the past, recalling that the southern tour at the beginning of the year hurried back and forth, making the entourage miserable, and now the person who cared about it at that time was around, but the one in the palace who was waiting to give birth was not worth mentioning.

The grace of Concubine Xin is most easily reflected in these things, and the people in the palace can be regarded as seeing it clearly, she Dai Jia's family is just a virtual appearance, and the emperor can't think of her at all about the key things, and now there is no one who can be compared with Concubine Ling, whether she is good, or the inexplicably favored Lan Guiren, the emperor is just giving the queen mother a face.

It was the emperor's front foot that left the Forbidden City, and several concubines came to Chengqian Palace to sneer at him, forgetting that the Queen Mother ordered the Sixth Palace not to disturb the concubine Xin at will, and finally was punished by the Queen Mother to stand in the wind and snow for a long time, and fell down one by one due to the wind and cold, and the heart became more and more disgusted with the Xin Concubine, and the jealousy of the one in the Yanxi Palace was not so strong.

And Hongli took Hongyan and the children out to go out, it was a sincere prayer to the Buddha, the emperor was well-behaved, Hongyan also abided by his duty, how dare the Buddha make a clean place. When you have to serve the Buddha and retire down the mountain, you will have a little heart to play in the mountains and rivers, and because you walk slowly on the road, you can take a good look at the scenery along the way, and your mood is getting better and better.

After leaving Wutai Mountain, walked for two days, the nurse of the fourteenth elder brother suddenly fell ill, the little doll was hungry and cried, the emperor ordered someone to look for a young woman near the palace to feed the little brother, but where can it be found for a while, for the emperor to come here, the nearby villagers and people were temporarily moved away, and now they can't even see the figure, let alone find a nursing mother for the little brother.

The son cried so much that Hongyan's heart was about to break, and the emperor was also uneasy when he heard the crying, and at this moment he hurriedly broke into Hongyan's house, and when he entered the door, he saw Hongyan untie her clothes, Hongli knew what she was going to do, and turned around in a panic, and when he looked back, the child had been greedily glued to his mother.

When Hongyan saw him coming, he also turned his back and said abruptly: "Your Majesty, it's better for you to avoid it first." ”

But before the words fell, the child howled and cried again, Hongyan didn't have to feed her child at all, and finally couldn't help crying with the child.
