After returning from the southern tour, Hongyan saw Qingque for the first time, she had already shown her body, she was fatter, and her pregnant breath became gentle and demure, but Concubine Shu was chattering, and she was disgusted by Hongyan: "My sister is so noisy that people's ears hurt, and she wants to scare our little emperor and grandson." ”

Concubine Shu simply said: "Then you say, I'll hide, don't scare your baby." ”

She really ran away with a smile, bluffing Qingque to get up and want to stop her, but she was helped by Cherry and sat down, and said with a smile: "Concubine Shu is this character, she is busy all day, she is going to lie lazily by herself, where is it for you." But why did you come into the garden, didn't you say that you should be at home to recuperate. ”

Qingque smiled: "The doctor said that I can go out, the fetus and my body are fine, and it is not that I am sick and bored at home, but I am persuaded to come out and walk around." Imperial Concubine Niangniang, you are happy to be promoted, I always have to come to congratulate, and the sons are not polite, so I will not give you a big gift. ”

"That's good, it's just that now your mother doesn't live in the spring of heaven and earth, and you come into the garden to walk in two places." Hongyan instructed, "When you come in the future, I will go to see you, don't stick to any rules, your body is important." ”

Qingque responded: "Niangniang loves me, so I naturally have to be obedient." ”

Hongyan stepped forward, gently touched her belly, and said with a smile: "I said that you can't give birth, but you are such a good child, how can God not hurt you." Green sparrows, good to live and raise, blessings are still to come. ”

"I vomited a lot in the first few months, because I felt hard, and Yongqi was not around, but this time it's better, it's not so uncomfortable." Qingque said, "On the contrary, there is another thing I want to ask my mother, I don't have the elders of my mother's family to speak, Amma's newly married wife and concubine, they are afraid to see me, some are about the same age as me, except for the politeness on the scene, there is no contact." ”

Hongyan said: "But it's about raising children? ”

Qingque shook his head: "It's a matter of the family's side Fujin." She lowered her head unconfidently and reconciled with Yongqi because Fang Fujin handed her a pack of tiger and wolf medicine, which was originally the medicine that Fang Fujin's mother's family wanted to give to the Hu family, and the people of the Suo Sui Luo clan couldn't allow anyone in the house to cross the side Fujin, and in those years, Qingque couldn't give birth, and there was no heir luck when he looked at it, so the family treated Qingque politely. But now it's different, Qingque said: "I'm afraid that the people of their family will not tolerate me, even if Fang Fujin is good, what if the people of that family directly bypass Fang Fujin and attack me and my children?" ”

"Since they can attack the Hu family, they may not be tempted to think about you, it is not unreasonable for you to worry like this. Now Sister Yufei is so happy because you have a child, what kind of joy is there, the difference between the sons and grandsons is different, and this can't blame the sister for being eccentric. Hongyan said, "I didn't expect Fang Fujin to be so cute and gentle, and the people in the family are so ambitious." ”

Qingque smiled bitterly: "You must be able to guess that they are looking forward to Yongqi having a great future, and if the children of Fang Fujin can have a future, the Suo Yu Luo clan may also become the second Fucha clan." ”

Hongyan shook his head and said: "A good family calculates their fate on their daughter's head, Kangxi's Hesheri clan, Niu Hulu clan, Tong Jia clan, the first emperor's Wulanala clan, and now our Long Live Lord's Fucha clan, it is true that every queen affects the power of the court." I didn't see it before, but if you look at the children of the Fucha family, the queen mother has been alive for so short, this family actually relies on their own skills to support the sky, and the people of the side Fu Jin family think too simply. ”

"Mother, will they do anything to me?" Qingque showed a nervous expression, "Fang Fujin is not the same as before these days, everyone has selfish intentions, I don't blame her." ”

"Your own perspective on people may not have changed, and it is not the fault of Fang Fujin alone." Hongyan smiled, "You have set your heart right, how was it in the past, how will it still be in the future, be careful not to let people have a chance to do it, but don't be too nervous and make yourself suspicious." The Hu family is just a concubine, in the eyes of Fang Fu Jinniang's family, it must not be a pity to die, but you are different, if something happens to you, Yongqi, the emperor and Concubine Yu will not give up, they don't have the courage to do anything to you now. If you were born a little princess, wouldn't it be the same to them as before? ”

Qingque touched her stomach and said, "Having said that, I really want to give Yongqi a son, so that Eniang can rest assured, and I don't owe her anything." And these things, I can't say it to Eniang, she must be very nervous, maybe what about Fujin on the other side, I know. ”

Everyone has selfish intentions, Qingque also has it, Hongyan suddenly understood that she shouldn't mess with her ideas, fortunately she didn't say anything important, Qingque came to her, not necessarily to ask for any help or answers, but to have a place to talk, to give herself a "peace of mind", she managed the palace for a day or two, don't you have her own wrist?

Thinking like this, Hongyan was relieved, and diverted the topic to say some ways to maintain the fetus, Qingque was very useful, and sat for half an hour before leaving, Hongyan sent the cherries all the way to Concubine Yu to come back, and when the cherries returned, she told Hongyan: "Concubine Yu's mother seems to be ten years younger all of a sudden, and when she sees her daughter-in-law's eyes shining, I have never seen her so happy." ”

Hongyan instructed: "In the future, you send someone to pay attention, once Qingque enters the garden, come and tell me, if I can't go over, you also go over and say something, don't let her come to me alone, one is hard and the other is afraid of misunderstanding, although she trusts me to say some things to me, but I don't want to get involved, she has her selfishness, and I have it." “

Cherry wrote it down, and told Hongyan that she had left a message in the palace, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office would not treat the queen badly, even if there might be some changes in the future, at least the daily meals would be warm and cold, and the queen would not be abused, which made Hongyan sigh: "Don't remember, you will send someone to the palace every three or five days to keep an eye on, and you must not treat the queen badly." ”

In the blink of an eye on May 14, the emperor ordered to take back the four treasures in the hands of the queen, namely one for the queen, one for the imperial concubine, one for the concubine, and one for the concubine, and again reduced the number of palace maids and eunuchs in the Yikun Palace.

Thirty years ago, the queen entered the palace and was sealed as a concubine, and the emperor even took back the original treasure, strictly speaking, today's Nala clan is not even a constant promise, but Hongli is not the prince of Bao, and she cannot turn back to the former side Fujin, so that the "nameless and pointless" exists in the palace, and Yikun Palace is her cage. Compared with the two members of the Xianfu Palace and the Chengqian Palace in the past, the Su family and the Dai Jia family both left with honor, and the emperor really punished them while maintaining the dignity of the royal family. But this time, the emperor had no intention of punishing the empress, but did something that made him lose face.

On the second day after the emperor took back the empress's four treasures, Chief Manager Wu quietly sent a message to Hongyan, saying that the emperor had left the Old Summer Palace, but did not go to the Jingcheng well to wander around, but went back to the Forbidden City privately.

Manager Wu didn't say what the emperor was going to do when he returned to the Forbidden City, but Hongyan guessed that he should go to Yikun Palace to see the queen. Hongyan said to Cherry: "The emperor has always been lenient to the harem concubines, except for the two who poked his heart, whether there is grace or not, life is not bad, the queen has been for more than 30 years, the emperor can't get over it, and it should be." If the emperor doesn't mention this matter, no one should mention it, and he has something he doesn't want to say to me. ”

In the deep palace, the emperor really came to Yikun Palace, and after the manpower was reduced here, it became more desolate and quiet, and most of the people in the entire Forbidden City left, Hongli walked all the way, and in the hot day, he felt that this palace was inexplicably a little cold.

But the moment he saw the queen, the breath of the quiet and peaceful person swept away the discomfort on Hongli's body, after so many years, he had added gray hair, but the emperor seemed to have really "seen" this person for the first time.

"Concubine Nala, knock on the emperor." The queen came forward to salute, she declared her surname, and had taken the initiative to take the title of queen from herself.

Hongli helped her up with his own hands and said, "The body is fine, I know that the imperial concubine has sent someone to take care of everything for you, and she should not treat you badly." ”

The queen smiled faintly: "The imperial concubine is kind-hearted, and the concubines don't lack anything here, but I didn't expect the emperor to come with dignity, and the concubines are full of sins, and they really can't afford it." ”

Hongli said: "What a sin you have, but you have borne everything for Yongxuan." ”

The queen's eyes flickered, and the peaceful person showed a somewhat nervous expression, Hongli saw it in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect that everything would become like today, I did something completely contrary to my temperament, for the sake of the court, for the royal inheritance, or just for one person." ”

"The emperor has a deep affection for the imperial concubine, which is her blessing." The queen was originally an infatuated lover, in her eyes, the emperor's kindness to Hongyan should be shared, and she never cared about the emperor's affection, and how could she be vinegar and sour, she only smiled gently, "The emperor doesn't have to explain anything to the concubine, since you know about Yongxuan, then all the consequences should be borne by the concubine." ”

"I just want to tell you that I will treat Yongxuan well." Hongli said, "I can understand why you said that night, please teach that child more in the future." Maybe there could have been a better solution, but since you have chosen this path yourself, it should be the only thing I can do for you, and the rest of the day will go on like this. ”
