"It's easy to go back, but is there still a place for me? There are so many changes in the capital, I know a little bit, but I often can't match the name, I have been away for too long, and I almost don't recognize the new love and old love of Huang Ama. He Jing said to Fu Heng, "Uncle, aren't you afraid that I will go back, but I find that I have no place to live there, but when I come back here, there is no place for me here?" ”

Fu Heng asked Hejing: "What kind of position do you want?" Hejing, where do you think you should be? ”

He Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't understand it myself, but there must always be a saying, I am the one who got married." ”

Fu Heng said: "You are irreplaceable to the emperor. As for the others, maybe you don't know yet, you haven't decided whether to live in the capital for a long time yet, and the major factions in the capital are already calculating how to spend their time on you to make profits. Whether there is a place for you or not, you will know when you go back, and I can't keep you here no matter what. Even if you are the princess of the Qing Dynasty, but you have no husband, people here may bully you at any time, but your uncle is far away in the capital, and you can't help each other. ”

"I'm not a kid anymore, how can I be bullied? My children have grown up too. He Jing said, "Uncle has worked hard all the way, first rest for two days, if you can't go back, let me think about it again." I'm not only a husband here, so I can say that I can let it go. ”

In the capital, the emperor was waiting for Fu Heng's news every day, and learned that Hejing's mood was stable and his health was not bad, he was somewhat relieved, and he came to Yanxi Palace to sit every day, and remembered that his younger brothers and sisters had never seen Hejing, and sighed: "The girl is weak and thin, but she takes on the responsibility of harmony, and the princesses of all dynasties are very pitiful, and when I come here, there is also unavoidable sorrow." Xiao Qi and Ke Erzhen have to stay by their side, even if they have to get married, they want their husband and wife to live in the capital. ”

When the emperor got older, he was more nagging than when he was younger, and he often said something like this, and Hongyan always listened with a smile on the side, after all, no one knew what would happen in the future. But these days, as some major events settled, the depressed atmosphere in the palace has dispersed a lot, and the emperor also has a smile on his face.

And the emperor went out of the palace in micro-clothes, it has never been unusual, since he was young, he often closed the door of the palace of nourishing hearts, everyone thought that the emperor was resting inside, but in fact he had already gone out to relax. There are almost no places in the huge capital that the emperor has not visited, and after taking Hongyan to Princess Hejing's mansion that day, he took her to the market by the way.

I was happy to play that day, but I don't know if I ate something unclean, or I was too hot to be hot, and I had diarrhea and vomiting after I went back, and I tossed for two or three days. Finally, Fu Heng came with news that day, saying that the princess had promised to return to Beijing, and she was in a good mood and was in good spirits.

Because Hongyan was not lightly ill, the emperor couldn't see her in the first few days, and today Xing Chongchong came to see her with good news, and saw that a good person had lost a lot of weight, and said distressedly: "If you lose weight again, there will be only a handful of bones left, and there is still half a year left this year, and at the end of the year, I will let me see that you are fat and fat." ”

This illness was an accident, Hongyan did have a good time when she went out that day, the whole palace, she and the emperor were suppressed for a while, there was nothing to be happy about, whether it was Hongli who had the intention to take her out for a walk, or took her by the way, even if she unfortunately fell ill, Hongyan did not regret it.

She said lazily: "At the age of the concubine, you can't stop getting fat, and the emperor still thinks that the concubine is an eighteen-year-old girl?" ”

Hongli said: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is to be in good health." ”

Hongyan's fingers slid lightly on the back of his hand: "How does the emperor know the thoughts of the concubines." ”

The emperor smiled: "If you have the heart to joke, I will rest assured, take care of your body, and Hejing will come back soon." Don't let her think that I have abused you and raised you like this. ”

Hongyan touched her cheek, felt that her skin was rougher than before her illness, and couldn't help asking, "Has the concubine become ugly?" ”

Hongli shook his head: "In my eyes, you look good no matter what, but I feel distressed." ”

When he said this, Cherry came in and said that the Queen Mother sent something to the concubine Niangniang, Hongli and Hongyan both felt fresh, but they really didn't think much about the Queen Mother's thoughts, and when they saw Yong'er coming in with the palace maid holding something, Hongyan couldn't help but smile.

Hongli touched the red cheeks in front of so many people, and there was a spirit between them, which meant that they knew each other. But others didn't know that the emperor and the concubine were just tacit moves, and thought that they were being disturbed by them in an ambiguous way, Yong'er was so frightened that her heart jumped, and she saw that the cherry was used to it, so she stepped forward and took it without care, and smiled with her: "It's a hot day, you eat a bowl of mung bean soup and then go." ”

The emperor got up and said: "This year is particularly hot, you all have to be careful, since you are the person in front of the Queen Mother, if you have anything, who will take care of the Queen Mother?" He generously asked the Empress Dowager Yong'er how she was, and left soon after.

Now that the emperor has left, the people of Ningshou Palace dare not disturb the concubine's rest, where can they really stay and drink mung bean soup, they all quit and want to retire. Hongyan smiled and said: "It's hard to run on a hot day, don't drink mung bean soup, Aunt Cherry will give you the reward, just take it." ”

The whole palace knows that the concubine of Yanxi Palace has always rewarded the palace people richly, today Yong'er came to send things, and the palace maids were also in a hurry to help, and they all received the reward and retreated happily at this time, Yong'er held the copper coin given by the cherry, but walked a few steps slowly, seeing that everyone else had retreated, she hurriedly said to the cherry in front of the door: "Auntie, the slave has something to say to the mother." ”

Cherry raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Yong'er, she was still very wary of the girl, it can be seen that her attitude is sincere and timid, and her heart is soft, so she said: "Go, Niangniang's spirit is good, but don't be too long." I'll take care of them for you, but I won't say a few more words. ”

Yong'er was happy and hurriedly ran back, Hongyan suddenly saw her turn back again, and couldn't help but wonder: "What did you fall behind?" But I saw the girl take out something from her close-fitting purse, hold it in both hands and hand it to herself, and said, "Guifei Niangniang, is this the bead on your bracelet, the slave maid picked it up in the Old Summer Palace, and I haven't had a chance to send it to you." ”

Hongyan looked fixedly, followed her bracelet for more than 20 years, even if the beads were scattered, the color and shape were engraved in her heart, and she could naturally see at a glance that it was the beads she had left behind.

Now that the bracelet has been firmly re-worn on the wrist, the lack of one does not affect the wearing, and I felt sorry at first, but it doesn't seem to matter these days. Naturally, people are more important than things, and if she can't keep the emperor's heart, it's not interesting to keep a string of beads.

Hongyan asked, "How did you pick it up, and when did you pick it up?" I went looking for it that day, but I missed this one. ”

Yong'er responded: "On the day Aunt Huarong sent it, the slave maid went to the place where the accident occurred, and when she looked up, she saw that the bead was stuck in the crack of the stone, and in order to dig out the bead, the face was also worn out, but the stained blood stains were no longer visible, and the slave and maid washed very cleanly. ”

"Are you going to mourn Hua Rong?" Hongyan asked.

"Yes...... The slave maid had nightmares every day and couldn't sleep, so she thought about sending Aunt Huarong. Yong'er replied, "The slave and maid were frightened by the events of that day. ”

Hongyan saw that her beads were carefully held in the palm of her hand, and the purse containing the beads was also very delicate and hidden closely, and subconsciously touched the beads on her wrist, and said without hesitation: "If you don't dislike it, I'll give this bead to you, since I didn't find it myself, I don't plan to ask for it." The bracelet is bothered by the master of the sewing room, and the bracelet will not be loose for four or five years, and it cannot be cut in vain. ”

Hongyan raised his hand to show Yong'er the lapis lazuli bracelet on his wrist, and said with a smile: "Look, it doesn't prevent me from wearing it, if you don't dislike it, just stay." ”

Yong'er said in a loud voice: "How can the slave dislike it, it's just ...... Does it really matter if you are a mother? The slave maid heard that this is、This is a gift from the emperor back then。 ”

Hongyan smiled: "It turns out that everyone in the palace knows, what else do they say?" ”

Yong'er couldn't help but laugh when she saw the red face, as if she was saying something very beautiful, and said: "The palace maids and sisters all said that it was the emperor's love for you. ”

"In this palace, there is really nothing to hide." Hongyan was not in a bad mood, touched the bracelet and said, "But where is the important thing, wearing it is just a thought, you can stay." ”

She didn't know what the master said to her, but it shouldn't be a bad thing, and it was good to come back to see Hongyan, and before she asked, she was told that the lost bead had been found, but Cherry was not happy, and muttered: "What the master values so much, just give it away?" ”

Hongyan smiled: "If she doesn't come to return it to me, it will be just a loss for me, and I won't think about it in this life, what difference does it make if I stay or give it away." ”

Cherry wanted to speak and stopped, looking at how uncomfortable it was, Hongyan sighed: "You, just say what you want to say, when will you learn this problem?" ”

Cherry hurriedly said: "Isn't Niangniang afraid of raising a white-eyed wolf, you treat her so well, in case one day, one day the Queen Mother has to send her to the emperor, she is not afraid of a second concubine." ”

Hongyan gently touched her bracelet and said, "There will be no second concubine, as long as I am alive, I will not allow such a thing." But if it weren't for Concubine Xin, Cherry, what would I do to be an enemy of others, even if Yong'er really had that day, wouldn't it be good to pull her to me? I have long figured it out, does the Queen Mother want to answer me, how can I let her get her wish. ”
