169 The Dark Shadow in Yanxi Palace (There are still updates.)

Mo said that she is so intimate now, when she was still in Shoukang Palace, the emperor brought her out to talk from time to time, and she often kissed so suddenly, or held hands or hugged her waist, at that time, the red face was bullied by the emperor, after all, it was rare to see each other, and she did not have the courage to resist. But now it's different, she is a harem concubine who really has a reputation and a place to live, and her relationship with the emperor has been precipitated for many years, and she has long since faded away from her former youthfulness, but without this youthfulness, she seems to be a little unable to let go.

Hongyan still had the warmth of a kiss on her face, she couldn't help but look around, Wei Hongyan felt that it would take all her energy to deal with the emperor in the past, but now she no longer feels that the emperor is not easy to deal with, so she began to care about the eyes of others, and when she first came back, she was worried about whether she was not as brave as before, and after talking with Ruyin, she realized that it was because she cared more than before.

"What are you doing so that others can see you?" Sure enough, Hongli was a little unhappy, but the person in front of him smiled sweetly, and he was reluctant to say more about her, so he went to the depths of the garden with his hand, and touched the beads on Hongyan's wrist. ”

The emperor knew that Hongyan put the other half of this bracelet on the concubine and buried it with her in the imperial mausoleum, and this bracelet was the first to break, and it was also in this garden that she had a dispute with Concubine Jia, and was punished by the queen mother to kneel in the courtyard of Ningshou Palace, or she went to take her away. Hongli said: "I know that you are rare, but with such unpleasantness, don't you feel embarrassed?" ”

"It was the first thing that the emperor gave to his concubines, not to mention that although he was unhappy about that incident, didn't the emperor come to relieve the concubines?" Even Hongyan felt incredible, for her, everything brought by this bracelet is now the most precious memory, whether it is the emperor's kindness to her, or the warmth given to her by the concubine.

Hongli smiled: "The first thing I gave you was a bracelet?" ”

Of course, Hongyan remembers the jar of fragrant osmanthus nectar, the past is vivid, so many years have passed in a flash, the person who said he was willing to wait for her forever has exceeded Hongyan's expectations and still guards her, and now he feels more and more that the separation is right, and each other has a calm time, and then looking back at this feeling, it is more real.

However, when it comes to osmanthus nectar, I remember that I made snacks for Concubine Mi back then, Hongyan went to Shoukang Palace a few days ago to ask Concubine Wen Hui for peace, and learned that Concubine Mi was sick, so she reminded the emperor at this moment: "When will the emperor go to Shoukang Palace to see, Concubine Mi doesn't seem to be very good." ”

Since Prince Zhuang was dismissed and suspended, Concubine Mi has been depressed, the emperor respects the people left by Kangxi, but he also has his helplessness, fortunately, Concubine Mi did not embarrass the emperor for half a point, and also called Hongli more respectful. At this moment, when I heard Hongyan say, I no longer visited the garden, but walked and talked, from the imperial garden to Shoukang Palace, and came to visit Concubine Mi.

However, such a thoughtful and filial piety good deed was provoked to the Queen Mother by someone with a heart, but Wei Chang ignored the Queen Mother, and only blindly relied on the old feelings of the past, so that the emperor respected the elders in Shoukang Palace, and did not see her accompany the emperor to Ningshou Palace to ask for a salute, but she always ran to Shoukang Palace diligently. The Queen Mother was inevitably a little unhappy, but this was something that could not be faulted, and the emperor had never neglected his biological mother, and he had heard those gossip, she was not greedy and went in, and sure enough, as her son said before, there would be nothing.

The Lantern Festival is the joy of the full moon of the sixth elder brother, on the family banquet, the pure concubine came with the sixth elder brother, and the brilliance of the two princes under her knees is unique in this palace. But now that the queen has let go of her knots, even if she sees the queen mother happily hugging her grandchildren, she will not have a sour taste again, and the more generous she is, the more she will win her husband's heart.

Halfway through the banquet, Cherry took the time to return to Yanxi Palace, and put away the reward received by the master first, because fireworks will be set off tonight, and the eunuchs and palace maids who had no errands slipped out to wait to watch the fireworks, and the others followed the banquet in Ningshou Palace, and Cherry came back alone, not even the little eunuch in front of the door. She was familiar with the way to go into the room to put things, and when she got to the door, she heard movement in the dormitory, and someone was saying: "It's better to hide, you can't let them find out first, and wait for the palace to be searched in the future." ”

Cherry panicked, she was the only one at the moment, and no one responded to the shouting to catch the thief, so she quietly withdrew with her things, but her hand was accidentally propped up on the door, and she still made a sound, and there was a panic inside, but when the people inside chased out, she didn't see a figure.

On the road outside Yanxi Palace, Cherry desperately went to Ningshou Palace without a head, always feeling that someone behind her was going to chase her, and coldly bumped into the princess and her party who came back after changing her clothes, and Jing saw that Cherry was sneaky and still holding a bunch of things in her hands, so she frowned, but Cherry stood behind her and blended into the eunuch palace maid behind her. And He Jing saw two figures flashing out in front of the gate of Yanxi Palace from a distance, and the people over there saw the light and people here, but ran towards the darkness.

"What's wrong?" It was the first time that He Jing had spoken to Cherry, and Cherry was trembling, not knowing which sentence to start with.

"Then come with me." Unexpectedly, He Jing didn't plan to ask Cherry what happened, she grew up in this Forbidden City since she was a child, and she couldn't think of anything, she wouldn't misunderstand Cherry as a thief again, those two unsightly figures have already explained everything.

Cherry returned to the banquet with her things, and Jing asked her to return to Hongyan's side by herself, and the princess continued to play with the Queen Mother and her younger brothers as if nothing happened, until the banquet was dispersed, and the palace maid under Qianya came to find Hongyan, saying that the queen asked Wei Chang to go to Changchun Palace early tomorrow to say goodbye.

Hongyan naturally thought that the queen was looking for her for something, and the emperor would go to Changchun Palace tonight, so it was naturally not appropriate to see each other at this moment, but she was worried about cherries, when the child went back and came again, her face was not good-looking, and she almost returned to Ningshou Palace at the same time as the princess, Hongyan mistakenly thought that Cherry had offended the princess again. When she returned to Yanxi Palace, Cherry told Hongyan what she had encountered, which made Hongyan shudder, she stood in the room and looked around, her things did have traces of being turned over, and she didn't know what those people were hiding in her house.

What's worse is that it is not clear whether it is someone from the outside or an internal thief in Yanxi Palace, and it can only be guaranteed that although the palace maid and eunuch who went to Ningshou Palace for a banquet today are not one of the two, they are good or bad, and they can't tell the difference. This night, Hongyan fell into an unprecedented uneasiness, and even felt that someone would hold a knife at her anytime and anywhere, tossing and turning, and the next day as soon as the emperor came to the court, she came to Changchun Palace.

When the queen saw Hongyan's blue eyes, she knew that she hadn't slept well, but the queen smiled leisurely: "Before you replaced Baozhen to my side, I put up with her for a long, long time, knowing that it was something that was eaten inside and out, and I still kept it by my side." And there must be people in Changchun Palace who I don't know, who are eager for others, so many palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City, can they be prevented? ”

Hongyan looked at the queen with a tense face, and the queen said: "Yesterday, you were lucky, let the cherry meet, the people behind the scenes will definitely be chaotic, will stare at the movement on your side, you have to live as usual, maybe this kind of thing will happen in the future, can't you sleep every time?" There is no corner of the Forbidden City where people can sit back and relax, so you have to learn how to sleep in this environment, this is the first time, I believe that next time, you will be able to fall asleep. ”

"Niangniang, is this the end of the matter, in case it ......" Hongyan felt that the person hiding in the shadows would come sooner or later to frame the blame, but she didn't even know what was going on.

Now it is Qianya who combs the queen's hair, and it looks good in a few years, Qianya puts away the jewelry and puts it outside, and the queen and Hongyan are left in the room, and the queen approaches her and says: "Concubine Mi is seriously ill, when the emperor is not with you these days, go to Shoukang Palace to serve the concubine, you don't have to worry about other things, if something happens, will someone go to Yanxi Palace to blame you, and I am here." ”

How does Hongyan think, the queen mother seems to have known something for a long time.

"Want to know?" The queen saw through Hongyan's thoughts, walked to the dressing mirror to see if her whole body was dressed properly, she looked at Hongyan standing behind her in the mirror and said, "Concubine Shu is pregnant, do you know?" ”

Hongyan was stunned, she rarely interacted with Shu Concubine, or Shu Concubine disdained to associate with her. But the queen's next sentence was: "But in this palace, the emperor can have all kinds of women, but not everyone can give birth to children for him." Those who can give birth are not necessarily the ones they like, and those who can't be born are not necessarily disliked. It is a sin for those who matter to give birth to daughters, and for those who don't care, it is nothing more than to give birth to more sons. ”

Hongyan is not stupid, even smarter than ordinary people, the queen's words are to say, Shu Concubine is a person who can't give birth to an heir for the royal family, so she has been so favored in the past few years and has not moved, how can a young and healthy person have nothing to do under the favor, and there is really a reason.

The queen looked at Hongyan and said: "In the palace, except for you and Shu Concubine, most of the later people have been with the emperor for more than ten years, and they can see through many things better than you, and they can figure out the emperor's thoughts more than you." Hongyan, these days, you stay away from Concubine Shu, be optimistic about the gate of Yanxi Palace, and don't let yourself easily get involved in right and wrong. ”

Hongyan looked at the queen in a daze, her mood was more depressed at the moment than last night's uneasiness, and she asked, "Niangniang, does Concubine Shu know that she is pregnant?" ”
