Hongyan said stubbornly: "But the slave maid promised the emperor that he would take care of you wholeheartedly, and no matter what happens in the future, the slave and maid will protect the mother." ”

Looking at the little girl's serious face, thinking of her sacrificing herself to save Hejing, the queen was very grateful, but she only smiled on her face: "How unbearable it is to be reduced to the point that you want to protect me, and you don't want the master to be good?" ”

Hongyan covered her mouth, indeed, why do you have to let Niangniang fall into an unbearable situation, what can she do as a little palace maid, Niangniang must be glorious for the rest of her life.

"Hongyan, thank you, if He Jing has any more longs and two shorts, I'm afraid I really won't be able to live." The queen said the second half of the sentence very softly, shook her head and didn't let herself think about it anymore, and carefully pushed her red face, "Hurry up and rest, I will keep you by my side only after you have recovered from your injuries, don't fall into the root of the disease." ”

"Mother, the slave is really fine......

Although the red face and mouth are hard, but the injury on her back is really painful, she couldn't sleep well all night, and the next day when the queen went to Ning Chun Hall early in the morning to ask for peace, she just fell asleep in a daze. Fortunately, the queen decreed that she was not allowed to go out these days, and she should take care of her injuries with peace of mind.

And Hongyan never expected that the news that she saved the princess was not only spread, but even her Ama Wei Qingtai was rewarded, and even promoted to a first-class official rank, who would have thought that a girl would win glory for her family. Those who are jealous of her beauty and favor on weekdays, seeing that she can sacrifice her life to give up, is also admirable, and regardless of whether she is loyal to the Lord or not, if she is faintly in order to compete for favor, ordinary people really can't do this step, no wonder she can meet the source left and right in front of the master.

In Ningchun Hall, the Queen Mother and the Queen had a long talk, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not have a stiff relationship last night, but they must have a problem with each other, even if they talk all morning today, they may not be able to untie the knot. But the queen knows her own proportions, in front of her mother-in-law, she has no other position except to honor the queen mother, and her only comfort is that Hongli treats her well.

On this side, Fu Heng went to garrison for his brother yesterday, and did not accompany the encirclement and did not work in the Old Summer Palace, and only learned this morning that the princess was in distress and the emperor was injured, and he heard that Hongyan was the most seriously injured, and he rushed into the garden early in the morning. At this moment, with the painful plaster in his hand, wandering outside the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, the queen had already gone to Ningchun Hall, he could have found someone to give this thing directly to Hongyan, but the last time he did this, he was blamed by his sister, but he was also worried that if it was transferred by his sister, he was afraid that it would not reach Hongyan's hands.

Fu Heng couldn't stay outside the Changchun Immortal Pavilion for a long time, so he had to leave, take a turn in the Old Summer Palace, and when he came back, it was almost noon, so when the queen returned, when the shoulder had not stopped, the queen saw her brother's figure, and smiled bitterly in her heart, she didn't have anything to do with him to run so fast, and now for a little girl, she cares all the time.

The queen called Fu Heng to her, and said without waiting for her younger brother to speak: "She is all right, and there is no shortage of anything for you to send." Although this is a garden, it is also a part of the forbidden palace, don't you always go in and out of the realm of no one, do your duty, do you want to be a royal guard for the rest of your life? At this point, I'm not willing to give her to you. ”

Leaving this sentence, the queen left, thinking that before Uncle Ma Qi died, she said that she couldn't shoulder the family and don't put the burden on her, but those words could only be said to the dying person, how could she really abandon the family, how could she ignore her brothers, it was grateful that she came to Hongli because of such a background, and she couldn't forget her roots. But there is no one who knows Hongli better than her, and the queen knows which step her mother's family can do.

As he spoke, the holy driver came from the direction of Shao Jingxuan, he walked angrily, as if he had encountered something unpleasant, Fu Heng did not dare to make another time, and saw the emperor enter the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, he left with the plaster that he had never been able to send.

The emperor's anger today is not because he was in danger yesterday, let alone because the queen failed to teach her daughter well, and without waiting for the news to spread from the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, the clever people in Qingyan in Kyushu had already heard that the emperor was furious in the study today, and the person who made him angry was the eldest brother Yonghuang.

What happened, few people know, only heard that the emperor loudly reprimanded the eldest brother in the study, the eldest brother's eyes were red as if he had cried when he left Shao Jingxuan, this time it reached the ears of Jia Concubine, she snorted coldly: "Motherless children are easy to bully, the emperor doesn't want to bully our fourth elder brother in the future." ”

While talking, she hugged her son from the nurse's arms, but the fourth elder brother ate so fast that he was overwhelmed, so she hugged it and returned it to the nurse, rubbing her arms and only shouting soreness.

Liyun came up to knead it for the master, and said softly: "The slave heard gossip a while ago, although it has been several years, but recently I have looked at the emperor's attitude towards the eldest brother coldly, as if I was sitting on those words. ”

Jia Concubine glanced at it coldly: "What's the matter, the gods are chattering?" ”

"You know, before the queen mother entered the door, Fucha Gege had already given birth to the eldest brother, whether the queen could tolerate this concubine with the same surname and different sects for the time being, but some people say that the emperor was afraid that Kangxi Ye would repeat what happened back then, so he ......" She gestured with her hand on her neck and said softly, "What happened to the emperor's eldest uncle, they all said that because there was that Concubine Hui behind the instigation and instigation, now the eldest brother is a motherless child, and he will not be able to compete with other brothers in the future, but he is just a big prince who is aggrieved." ”

Jia Concubine frowned and thought, with a stirring in her heart, and said, "Can the emperor look down on us Yonghui?" ”

Liyun shook her head: "The slave doesn't dare to say, what do you think of the Long Live Lord?" ”

Jia Concubine shook her head unconfidently: "I know very well in my heart, if I have to compare, how can the third elder brother be in the front, not to mention that he is still looking forward to the queen being able to have another concubine." ”

Liyun asked, "What are the plans of the mother?" ”

Jia Concubine's face was gloomy, she looked out of the window in front of the door, and said in a suppressed voice: "In this case, we can only let the people who hinder us disappear, and when the emperor is left with only my son, he will like it if he doesn't like it." ”

Ke Jia Concubine last time she got rid of her red face for Baozhen, and she almost put herself on it. Whether it is that she didn't get the evidence or in the face of the fourth elder brother, she was lucky to be able to escape, so at least what she said at this moment, she must not be in a hurry to do it. The emperor is in the prime of life, and there will be more concubines to give birth to more princes in the future, and Jia Concubine is not stupid, and if she is too radical now, she will only make her son the target of public criticism in the future.

However, in another place, I also heard the matter of the eldest brother's responsibility, and Concubine Chun was writing about the fan without distraction.

Summer is coming, the emperor has always been a fan in his hand, and Concubine Chun copied the poems they linked on weekdays, and just put down her pen, as if she didn't hear what the palace maid was saying, just ordered: "Take the ivory fan bone of Yunnan Xingong." ”

Baoqin saw that the master was not interested in external affairs, so he had to go and get the fan bones. Concubine Chun carefully put on the fan, but it was easy to do, and when she slowly unfolded the fan, she felt that her handwriting was not commensurate with the handsome ivory fan bone.

Baoqin watched from the side, and couldn't help blurting out: "This fan bone is like a painting of ink and wash landscapes, which is beautiful." ”

Concubine Chun couldn't help but glance at her, and Baoqin knew that she was speechless, so she quickly closed her mouth and lowered her head.

"The queen mother is good at Danqing, not only in the palace, but also in the entire royal family." Concubine Chun touched the fan and said quietly, "Niangniang's pen and ink are worth a thousand gold, how can I be qualified to ask her to paint the fan, and my paintings are not worthy of appearing in this palace." ”

Suddenly, she heard a hissing sound, and Baoqin was surprised to see that the master had torn the fan that had been made with great difficulty, and along the fan bones, the delicate fan surface was torn beyond recognition, and she carefully removed the fan bones, wiped them clean with a silk handkerchief, and let Baoqin step forward to take it, and ordered: "Lock it up, I don't want to see it again." ”

Baoqin timidly asked: "The emperor takes a fan from you every year, can you do it this year?" It's better to use the ink bamboo fan bone to make it, it is light and cool in the hand, and the ivory is still heavy. ”

Concubine Chun looked at the fragments on the table, thinking that the emperor had not forgotten to ask her for a fan every year, and unconsciously touched the string of fine beads of beeswax hanging on her chest, nodded and said, "Clean up here, I'll write another one." ”

Spring is still in full bloom, and there is still some time before the scorching summer, but after staying in the sun for a long time, a thin shirt will also make people a little annoying. It's the end of April in a blink of an eye, Hongyan's injury has already recovered, because she saved the princess's life, the queen's mother and daughter look at her differently, and the princess now loves to play with Hongyan as soon as she comes to Changchun Immortal Pavilion.

For Hejing, she wanted to see her mother often, but she was worried that she would hinder Huang Ama from accompanying Eniang, so she often asked for peace and dragged Hongyan to play outside.

In the palace, he respects a princess, after Yonglian's death, she has fewer and fewer playmates, girls are not confined to the four books and five classics, the most innocent years, they should play happily, the queen herself does not have a perfect childhood, always hopes that her daughter will not have any regrets in the future, compared to letting Hongyan accompany her, since her daughter likes it, she is happy to ask them to be companions.

The sun was shining on this day, there was a bit of early summer taste, the princess pouted Hongyan to accompany her to the garden creek to catch tadpoles, such a thing Hongyan often did when she was a child, but she took the princess to wade in the stream, she was afraid that the princess would catch a cold or fall, and hesitated to agree.

But the princess couldn't grind the entanglement, to the stream that led from the beautiful spring of the west peak, there were trees on the side, the princess actually threw off her shoes and socks and stepped into the stream, the nurse and mother did not follow, only Hongyan alone, she couldn't stop it, holding the princess's shoes on the shore, and constantly asked and saluted to come out quickly.

He Jing stepped on the cool water, the heat all the way was gone, where was he willing to go ashore easily, and saw small fish and tadpoles in the cracks of the stone, and shouted excitedly: "Hongyan, you hurry down, don't hold my shoes, take the glass bottle, and fill the small fish to show Eniang." ”

"Princess, come up, the slave and maid go and catch it, you come up first." Hongyan didn't dare.

When He Jing saw her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, she pouted angrily, and another spirit, so she bent down and poured a handful of water on the shore.

This embarrassed appearance made He Jing look funny, so he kept splashing his red face with water, and the red face dodged everywhere, and when he was asking for mercy, He Jing was slipped by the stone under his feet, and the whole person fell into the water. Hongyan was frightened, and ran down with her shoes on, thinking that the princess must have fallen and was going to cry this time, but she didn't expect to get closer, and was suddenly poured on her face by the cool stream.

The little princess's laughter was more beautiful than the gurgling stream, and Hongyan thought that the child who was still holding her mother and crying a few days ago was so happy at this moment, and she was also happy, and her brain was hot, and she also splashed water on the princess. He Jing was dazzled, but no one dared to play with her like this, the two were only five or six years apart, and the red face was much more interesting than those dull and rigid old grandmothers. She rubbed her eyes and shouted: "Hongyan, you are bold, wait for me to see......"

Not far away, the emperor was taking several ministers to Xifeng Xiuse, discussing how to arrange the banquet for the Dragon Boat Festival. Because this time the envoys of various countries and the princes of the desert steppe will be invited, especially the Dzungar Ministry will also have people to come, and the emperor attaches great importance to this banquet.

The group heard laughter from afar, it was really a novelty in the dull forbidden palace, Manager Wu sent someone to inquire early, this time the son replied that it was the princess playing in front, the emperor had a smile for a while, and ordered the others to wait in place, he only brought Fu Heng over.

Hongyan and the princess were soaked, although the sun was warm, it was not the height of summer after all, when the emperor arrived, the two were already shivering with cold, and there were no other servants on the side, Fu Heng hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped it in the princess, Hongli saw that his daughter was so skinny, and he was worried and happy, the little girl knew that she had played too much, and she stepped forward and held the hand of the emperor Ama and said: "Ama don't tell Eniang, Eniang is going to train me." ”

Hongli patted his daughter's head dotingly, and wanted to reproach a few words, but when he touched the cold face of the little face, he was worried that she was freezing, so he picked up his daughter and let people lead the way to the nearest palace to change clothes.

When I turned around, I remembered that Hongyan was also on the side, and at this moment, I looked at the little girl who was soaked, her clothes were tightly attached to her body, and the exquisite curves that had gradually grown into her body were revealed, and she was covering her chest shyly.

Fu Heng also saw this scene, he couldn't wait to take off another piece of clothing to wrap Hongyan, but the emperor could look directly at Hongyan, he had to avoid his gaze, and when his heart turned over the river and the sea, the emperor said: "You go with it, it's really not decent to go back to Changchun Immortal Pavilion like this." The princess is young and playful, you have to be measured, don't do anything that worries the queen. ”

Seeing that Hongyan was blamed, He Jing pestered his father and said, "Huang Ama, I'm cold, I want to change my clothes." ”

Hongli was worried that his daughter would catch a cold and get sick, so he didn't care about his face, and took Hejing to a nearby house to clean up. Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief, followed cautiously behind her, and suddenly someone handed her a clean handkerchief, she subconsciously took it, and when she looked up again, she found that it was Lord Fucha, but he came and went in a hurry, and ran away with a swish.

When the princess and Hongyan were cleaned up separately, and the emperor had already left to do serious business, the chief manager Wu was afraid that the princess would be playful again, so he sent more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids to send them back, but the tadpoles were not caught, and He Jing and Hongyan were punished to stand in the sun together.

However, basking in the sun like this, the cold on her body almost dissipated, and the princess had no remorse, quietly pulled the sleeve of Hongyan and said: "Next time we go to play elsewhere, there are many interesting places in the Old Summer Palace." ”

Hongyan was happy to see the bright smile on the princess's face so cute, so she smiled crookedly and nodded in agreement.
