At the end of February, the emperor and his entourage left Jiangning and continued to go south to Hangzhou, this year coincided with leap February, the emperor deliberately chose such a good year to go on patrol, so that he could have more time to go further south.

The emperor was so interested, how dare the people who accompanied him be disappointed, the children don't have to stick to the study every day, they are the happiest people, and the eleventh elder brother often comes to Concubine Shu and gives the fresh things he got to his adoptive mother. The Queen Mother was taken care of by Hejing, even if it was in the way of her granddaughter, it was not easy to find trouble with Hongyan, and she served the Queen Mother so many times, and this time was Hongyan's happiest time.

However, the queen promised the twelfth elder brother that he would get closer to the emperor more, but whether he was walking on the water or stationed in the palace, if the emperor did not go to "observe the people's feelings" with the local officials, he would be by his side most of the time. Hongyan could naturally detect what the emperor was doing when he ran out, she was in her heart, so she didn't let Hongli touch her with various excuses, and after a few times, the emperor knew that his deeds were seen through by Hongyan, and took the initiative to apologize and asked her if she was angry, Hongyan only said angrily: "The concubine can still manage the emperor, I just hope that the emperor will take care of his body, and the people outside don't care, they can only rely on the people around him to control it." The concubines and their sisters all feel the same sorry for the emperor, and before returning to Beijing, the emperor should not think about it. ”

Hongli knows Hongyan's personality, and it is not a joke to say that he is not allowed to touch, and he is indeed happy, and he is always alerted not to indulge in lust, but as soon as he leaves the army, without any restraints, he only feels that Jiangnan is seduced by the soul, which makes him difficult to control, and he only comes back once in a few years, and he can't treat himself badly.

But no matter how beautiful the excuse is, Hongyan can't accept it, she has no way to stop and change, she can only turn a blind eye, otherwise she will be half angry to death, or have a dispute with the emperor, and in the end she will suffer a loss.

Although most of the concubines have the same mind as Hongyan, and do not want to worry about these things with the emperor, it is inevitable that Concubine Ying is so unwilling, and there is nowhere to say that she provoked in front of the Queen Mother, and Jing listened on the side, and sent someone to inform Hongyan, and sure enough, the emperor and his entourage went to Hangzhou to weave and live, and the Queen Mother called everyone away.

The Queen Mother first told the rules of being a guest at someone else's house, and ordered the concubines to be cautious in their words and deeds not to embarrass the emperor, and chattered for a long time before entering the topic: "The emperor is quite unrestrictive outside, although the spring is not yet blooming, but it can't stop the picturesque Jiangnan River." You must have a number in your heart, persuade somewhat, and be more modest, don't covet a momentary good and ignore the emperor's body. ”

The queen and all the concubines all said yes, but they heard Concubine Ying sneer: "The queen mother's words can't be said to the concubines, inside and out, they are controlled by the concubines, and the concubines are just out to play, and even the emperor's face hasn't been seen for several days, so what kind of restraint do you rein?" ”

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, Concubine Shu said: "I really can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, the emperor doesn't like your mouth, so I don't go to your side when I get into trouble everywhere, so many sisters travel with Hu, why is there only Concubine Ling left?" ”

Concubine Ying snorted: "Sister Shu and Concubine Gui are so close, no one can say this." ”

Concubine Shu sighed: "It's not that it's not my turn to say, it's that the concubine is stupid and can't deal with people who are cheap, I don't have any skills, but I'm a little sharper." ”

Concubine Ying was so angry that she suddenly hated and said, "Who do you say is cheap?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's rest assured, the imperial grandmother's words are not finished yet." He Jing stepped forward to stop it, and said to his grandmother with a smile, "The ladies know what you ordered, don't worry, grandmother." It's strange to be tired from Jiangning here, and there are also girls who are hot, and they are used to being kind on weekdays, and they don't have so many scruples when they talk, don't care. ”

The Queen Mother said coldly to everyone: "You are not as good as a child." ”

Concubine Shu heard Concubine Ying muttering softly: "I'm in my thirties, what kind of child is I." She couldn't help but smile too, and glanced at Hongyan, who signaled her to stop talking, she would be fine.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother did not deliberately target Hongyan, she knew her son better than anyone else, if she could really guard Wei Hongyan day and night, she would not have to worry about the women outside being unclean, and then said something innocuous and ordered everyone to disperse.

Out of the door, when the queen left, Concubine Shu and a few people were going to go with Hongyan, seeing Concubine Ying on the side with a face full of disbelief, Concubine Shu turned around and walked towards her again, and said sharply: "Go out, try to live in peace, if you don't want to be peaceful, but no one is willing to accompany you." Don't instigate me in front of the Queen Mother, if you don't want to be better, just do it yourself, don't pull others, and let me hear you say that kind of thing, I will definitely tear your mouth. ”

Concubine Ying and Concubine Shu are on an equal footing, but they are younger than her, how can they be convinced when they hear Concubine Shu say such powerful words, seeing that they are about to quarrel, on the one hand, Hongyan turned back, and on the other hand, Princess Hejing came out of it, she couldn't do any good, so she could only shut up.

"Let's go, the children are waiting for me." Hongyan came to pull Concubine Shu to accompany her, and He Jing proudly passed in front of Concubine Ying, glanced at her with disdain, and said to Hongyan generously: "Don't worry, the imperial grandmother's eyes are not dazzling and her ears are not deaf, right and wrong are very clear in her old man's heart, where can people easily instigate." While saying that, he gave Hongyan a look, intending to reassure her that the Queen Mother was with her, at least this southern tour would never make her embarrassed.

Hongyan was very grateful, and left with her sisters.

Concubine Ying got this result, how many people saw it, and she was ridiculed and bullied like this when she arrived in Hangzhou, how could she be willing, but she couldn't provoke Hongyan to do it, and there was no place for this breath.

And Hongli knew what the Queen Mother told the concubines, and understood that the Queen Mother was hinting that she should be more modest. He also has a sense of proportion in his heart, he doesn't want to make everyone unhappy, and he doesn't want to make trouble for Hongyan, so he ordered Manager Wu to arrange that night, he wants to go to the queen's side, even if it's a show.

The twelfth elder brother learned that his father was going to accompany his mother tonight, and he rushed to visit the queen before the emperor arrived, and said a lot of things that should not come out of his mouth at a young age, Yongxuan even said to the queen: "E-Niang, don't be as indifferent as now, you see that the emperor Ama has to laugh, E-niang, you are not worse than Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu, and they are not young, are they?" E-niang, you want to ......"

More than 30 years, she still can't wake up from the initial nightmare, without the restraint of her father, it is her son's turn to take care of her, and the queen will not be able to get rid of her in this life.

But the twelfth elder brother finally looked forward to his father remembering his mother, but was disturbed by the disputes during the day, Concubine Ying did not dare to provoke the Hongyan people, but she dared to stop the queen's grace, waiting for Hongli on the emperor's way to the queen's house, messing around, stalking and coquettish, and giving up everything, insisting on taking the emperor away. In addition, Hongli knew that the queen had always been indifferent, and felt that even if he didn't go, it would be no big deal, so he sent Chief Manager Wu to inform him, and he really followed Concubine Ying.

The queen stayed alone in the room, and when she listened to Manager Wu's embarrassing explanation in front of the door, the smile on her face was so comfortable, and she said through the door: "I know." Then he lay down gladly, glad that he could sleep peacefully tonight. But before she fell asleep, the footsteps of her son suddenly sounded, like a drumming drum on the boat, and there were palace maids and twelve elder brothers entangled in front of the door, but Yongxuan still broke in strongly, and shouted angrily: "Huang Eniang, what's the matter?" The Emperor's Lady ......"

The queen hid behind the tent, seeing her son's figure rushing over, she said coldly: "You stop, do you remember who you are, do you remember that I am your mother, the third watch broke into my bedroom in the middle of the night, is this the rule you should have as a prince?" Yongxuan, you're not a kid anymore. ”

The figure projected on the tent is taller and bigger than the twelfth elder brother himself, the figure trembled and angry, such a strange existence made the queen very panicked, she had reached the point where she was scared when she saw her son, hugged the quilt tightly, and thought of Hua Rong in her heart, if there was such a thing in the past, Hua Rong would definitely protect her.

"Why? Huang Eniang, you are the queen, you are the most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty, you see it now, it's not that the sons are unreasonable, even a concubine dares to bully you, even you dare to bully, will anyone still take the sons and daughters in their eyes? Yongxuan's voice was full of anger and hatred, but every word was directed at his mother, and he finally failed to contain his impulse, and lifted the bed tent, he did not know that the moment his mother saw him, it was as if she had seen a demon.

"Yongxuan, what are you going to do?" The queen looked at her son in fear.

"Huang Eniang, you go and invite Huang Ama back, otherwise from tomorrow onwards, everyone will look down on you and me again." Yongxuan pulled the queen's hand, "Huang Eniang, you invite Huang Ama back." ”

"Are you crazy, kid, are you crazy?" The queen wanted her son to let go of him, struggled hard, and finally slapped her son in the face in anger.

After a sharp crisp sound, the room was quiet, the twelfth elder brother also let go of his hand, the queen curled up in the corner and shivered, Yongxuan collapsed on the side of the bed in pain, and said after a while: "Huang Eniang, you will only be good to me, but what about others?" ”

The queen didn't want to see him, so she buried her face in the quilt, but the twelfth elder brother was dizzy, got up angrily and said: "Okay, Eniang, you don't dare to go, I'll go, I'll ask Huang Ama why I'm always sorry for you." ”

Hearing the footsteps and knowing that her son was going to find the emperor, the queen suddenly woke up, threw herself off the bed, did not wear shoes, and dragged her son's arm and persuaded bitterly: "Yongxuan, don't go, you listen to Eniang's words, you can't go." ”
