Compared with the long street with high walls in the Forbidden City, the night road of the Old Summer Palace is much more open and comfortable, and the oncoming cool breeze is fragrant with flowers, and the heart of the red face is slightly clenched by this rich spring.

She remembered that when she was at home in the past, E-Niang had a conflict with Amma, and E-Niang did not let her prepare meals for Amma, did not prepare clothes for him, and gave him a cold face for a few days, so Ama lowered her eyebrows and coaxed E-niang. She also remembered that Ruyin said that sometimes Fu Heng was too rigid and really made her anxious, and she ignored Fu Heng for several days, and endured it for a few days, and the rigid Lord Fucha would also compromise for the sake of his wife. This is the affection of husband and wife, but also the fun, small fights and pleasure, the head of the bed and the end of the bed.

The emperor and the queen are husband and wife, the relationship between them, how can Hongyan's position be compared, she is now rarely seen in the queen's private at the same time to meet the emperor, but in the past, when she was still a palace maid, the queen's demeanor and tone towards the emperor are really completely different from her temperament and demeanor in front of outsiders, that is, the husband's beloved wife, the woman who is distressed by men, and not the supreme mother of the country.

However, Hongyan didn't dare, and she couldn't.

The queen will never have to worry about losing her husband's affection, but she is the same as all the other concubines, and as the queen once said to her in the Shoukang Palace, she is just one of the people who has walked by the emperor, and there will be better ones in the future that he will like more. He is amorous by nature, how can he change this problem overnight. Right now, she cherishes this affection, and in this day of ups and downs, she enjoys the blessing of being pampered and cared for by her husband, and she will talk about it in the future.

Hongyan returned to Pinghu Qiuyue, and the palace people who stayed behind complained to Wei Guiren, saying that the emperor had said that he wanted to rest and sleep here during the day, and they waited for a long time, but the emperor slept in the house of the pure concubine of Qingyan in Kyushu, which made them worry, and it was rare that the master was not at home on the day when they did not have a good rest.

Hongyan only smiled and said: "I brought so many fresh melons and fruits back for you to taste, don't complain, where the emperor wants to go is not a matter of words, it is not our turn to talk more." She changed her clothes and washed up before resting.

When washing her feet, Cherry came back with her mouth pouted, lined up the other palace maids to roll up their sleeves and serve Hongyan, and said very unconvinced, "Master, if the slave maid says that the emperor lacks heart and eyes, will he be beheaded?" ”

"Now that you know, say it." Hongyan patted her on the head, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll let my father-in-law discipline you." ”

Cherry said with a tiger face: "The slave maid heard Xiao Lingzi say that the emperor went to Kyushu Qingyan again tonight, and went to the pure concubine Niangniang." ”

Hongyan frowned, Mo said that the cherry was speechless, she also wanted to say in her heart that the emperor lacked heart, why did she go there, the queen was unhappy, didn't he know?

Seeing that the master's face changed, Cherry became even more reasonable, and snorted angrily: "Call the slave maid to see, the pure concubine is deliberately making the sixth elder brother uncomfortable, she has an excuse to stay, how can it be so coincidental." I didn't expect the dignified concubine to play this kind of trick. It's been rumored that we're here from the outside, but you've never seduced the emperor with your tricks. ”

"Alright, I'm going to be." Hongyan felt uncomfortable, and she didn't want Cherry to cause trouble, so she repeatedly told her not to show her face when she went outside, but fortunately, Cherry went out with a very measured posture of a palace maid, and she dared to speak and be angry in front of Hongyan.

She didn't understand whether the emperor did this, whether he was deliberately angry with the queen to give him a face, or whether he really liked the pure concubine again, she wore beeswax to swagger through the market back then, she didn't have never seen it, but the pure concubine was suspected of cheating herself and the prince for fornication, and later swallowed gold in front of the queen mother to commit suicide to die Mingzhi, which made the emperor very unhappy, and the emperor could still like such a person again? The more Hongyan thought about it, the more panicked she became, but fortunately, she was extremely tired after going out all day, and finally she didn't suffer from insomnia.

The next morning, Kyushu Qingyan was the first to be lively, everyone knew that yesterday the emperor not only slept in the house of the pure concubine at noon, but also spent there at night, there were many people with red eyes and hot eyes, they had all seen how the emperor doted on the pure concubine, and they also clearly knew that the pure concubine had already been withdrawn from the green head card, the emperor suddenly repeated this, I don't know what tricks the pure concubine used in the day yesterday.

It was the day when the Sixth Palace went to Ningchun Hall to ask for peace, but the Queen Mother was tired yesterday, and she couldn't get up this morning, and all the concubines and concubines arrived at the door, and Mama Hua came to say that the Queen Mother was gone, and everyone was used to such things, and it was easier to see them, so they yawned and dispersed, and suddenly heard Concubine Jia shouting: "Yonghui, don't go on a rampage, and hit Chun Niangniang carefully." ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Concubine Jia, only to see her step forward and pull the fourth elder brother to her side, and raised her face to Concubine Chun and said, "Niangniang serves the emperor day and night, you go slowly." ”

Concubine Yu took the fifth elder brother, subconsciously held the children by her side, bypassed them and walked in the other direction, I don't know what kind of quarrel is going to happen here, she is not afraid that she will be involved in right and wrong, but she does not want the little Yongqi to see the ugly face of the woman, the child has begun to remember and understand, and bad words will have an impact on his life.

Sure enough, Concubine Jia was deliberately sour and mean, and actually shouted: "But Niangniang's body must be good, the emperor revoked your green head card in order to let you recuperate, and now you are back in favor, I don't know if the Ministry of Internal Affairs has remade your green head card, not to mention the dust in the past, even the identity has been changed, right?" She actually called the palace people and asked them to ask if they had prepared a green head card for Concubine Chun.

Concubine Chun used to be a cold and cold person, even if she was only a Gege in the palace, she hid in the corner all day long to read and write, quietly. Entering the harem, the mother is expensive by virtue of her son, first sealed as a pure concubine and then a pure concubine, she regards herself as full of poetry and talent, and has the grace of the emperor, and never disdains to talk to these warblers and Yanyan's rouge gouache, and Concubine Jia is the person she looks down on the most. But at least in the past few days, Concubine Chun, who was almost abandoned by the emperor, was not as good as this woman who served in Israel, and how the glamorous spring came at noon yesterday, Concubine Chun knew it, and how the emperor spent the night by her side last night, she couldn't say anything.

But the arrogance is still there, the dignity is still there, she will always be the indisputable and noble person in front of people, even if the cat's paw scratches her heart at this moment and wants to tear Concubine Jia's face, she can't wait to slap her to the ground, Concubine Chun still held back, and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your trouble, it's important to send the fourth elder brother to the study earlier, the fourth elder brother has just started studying this year, I will tell the third elder brother to take care of the younger brother, if the younger sister doesn't understand and doesn't know how to teach the fourth elder brother, just tell me." ”

The corners of Concubine Jia's eyes flew, her red lips pulled out a sneer of disdain, and she was about to leave with the fourth elder brother's hand, ignoring the respect of the concubine Yue in front of her, and said coldly: "Yonghui, you have to work hard, don't be like the third elder brother, you are always disgusted by the emperor and don't grow up." ”

When Concubine Chun heard that her son was accused, and the third elder brother's homework was indeed unsatisfactory, she didn't even have a position to refute, so she inevitably changed her face, but she didn't want to tell people to see jokes in front of people, so she stiffened her back and helped her hand holding the qin and left. The others only waited for the two of them to go away before they dispersed in groups, and all day after that, the people in the garden were talking about whether the pure concubine had returned to favor.

Hongyan followed behind the crowd, she could see and hear it clearly, Concubine Jia's mother has always had this face, and she didn't even bother to have disgust after seeing too much, but Concubine Jia was not pretending to be like this, but pure and indifferent in front of the concubine, which was a complete mask. Early this morning, Manager Wu seemed to deliberately call Xiao Lingzi to talk about it, whether it was the emperor's intention or Manager Wu's own intention, he deliberately told her what happened at noon yesterday, as if the emperor had suffered a dumb loss, and Concubine Chun pretended to be okay today. But this is also human nature, do you still go around telling others that you have seduced the emperor?

Hongyan first returned to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, after yesterday's silkworm sacrifice, inventory of the palace people and things brought by the trip, although the royal family is rich in the world, but every stitch and thread must have a source and place, the queens of the Qing Dynasty are meticulous and simple without extravagance and waste, the queen's generation is to uphold the style of the ancestors, and these trivial things are now taken care of by Hongyan.

The queen came back after nearly an hour, and she used to see the queen mother every time she was tired and sighed, but now she is like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she can still see her return with a smile. The queen finally understood that the queen mother's "ruthlessness" was not ruthless, this time the matter of the pure concubine, if it was left in the past, the queen would feel that she was embarrassed in front of her mother-in-law, but today she can talk to the queen mother peacefully, and the queen mother is even more wary of her because the pure concubine is a concubine, and supports her daughter-in-law to deal with this matter.

Hongyan handled the things in her hands and told the queen one by one, although the queen knew that she was thoughtful in everything, but she was never lazy, she seemed to listen casually, but she could always ask questions coldly, Hongyan was either negligent, or had to explain carefully, which also made her admire the queen even more. Serious matter, the queen said that the peony picture painted a few days ago did not want to be wasted, and asked Hongyan to accompany her to polish the ink and color, and said by the way: "Use it here for lunch, and Jing will not come with the queen mother, I have no appetite alone, and you can go more with me." ”

Hongyan knew very well why the queen always kept her for dinner, and while agreeing to it, she was thinking about how to convey the words of Manager Wu, and finally waited for the queen to make the last stroke, she carefully pressed the ink and handed over the jade seal, and said softly: "Niangniang, Manager Wu said that the emperor was involuntary yesterday." ”

The queen's phoenix eyes raised slightly: "When you left last night, didn't you say that the moon letter was coming." ”

Hongyan was stunned: "Yes, yes......"

The queen pressed the seal, and a painting was completed, she handed the jade seal back to Hongyan and put it away, and walked to the side to wash her hands, which seemed to be an understatement, but it had a deep meaning: "Since this is the case, you can accompany me with peace of mind, and let the emperor go to recite poems for good." ”

At this time, Qianya came in from outside the door, saying that the head of Wu had passed the word, and the emperor was going to come for lunch, Hongyan looked at Qianya, and then looked at the queen, and saw her wiping her hands and ordered: "Tell the emperor that Wei Guiren is here, and as for lunch, Wei Guiren is also here to use." ”

Qianya took the order and left, and the queen said: "If you are not happy, I will not stop you from leaving." ”
