Fu Lin was immersed in the mood of contradictions, and saw Wu Liangfu come in from outside the palace and tell the emperor that King Anjun went to Cining Palace to ask for peace, and he replied indifferently: "I know." ”

It is said that after Yue Le was reprimanded by the Queen Mother for Dong Ejiayin, he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and when he returned to Beijing, he led his troops straight to Guihua City to deal with the restless Khalkha Tushetu Khan and Chechen Khan, forcing them to surrender and pay tribute.

In Cining Palace, Yu'er saw that this person who had won the battle and made meritorious contributions was full of spirits, and said with a smile: "Look, serious errands can also be done well, in the past, the first emperor said that you are a good seedling, don't spoil yourself." ”

Yue Le bowed his head and thanked him, and Yu'er said: "You are always the emperor's most trusted person, as long as it is not a big rebellion, what the emperor is willing to do, you will accompany him." Especially the emperor's bold and novel reforms in the court, you can now speak in the court, don't do it anymore and watch some people speak disrespectfully to the emperor. ”

Yue Le said: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the servants of the Thirteen Yamen really don't know, and I hope that the Queen Mother will be aware of it." ”

Yu'er glanced at him: "What kind of cleverness did you tremble, did you ask about this?" ”

Yue Le hurriedly confessed, but he lay on the ground and didn't look up, so he said: "Queen Mother, if the emperor asks the slave about Dong E's ......."

Yu'er said: "I don't want the folklore that the emperor covets the wife of a courtier, very few people know about this matter, but if there is anything, do you think you can escape?" ”

"But ......" Yue Le and the emperor have a deep relationship, if it weren't for the difference between the monarch and the minister, he would really treat him as a younger brother, and when he came back a few days later, when the two met, the emperor always wanted to talk and stopped, he was really restrained and very hard.

Yue Le couldn't stand it, he was really distressed, so he begged at this moment, "The minister will take the head and promise that he will never let the world know half a word, but ask the queen mother to allow the minister to let the slave take a look at the scenery of Zhejiang for the emperor." ”

Yu'er's face was full of anger, majestic as the sky, Su Mala was on the side, and she didn't dare to say much, but after a stalemate for a long time, Yu'er still relented: "Get up, you have to know how to measure." ”

Yue Le was overjoyed: "Don't worry, the queen mother doesn't ask, the slave doesn't say, the slave just looks at it for the emperor." ”

Before Yue Le personally went to Zhejiang, he came back and said that the Xiao family was kind and polite, and Dong E's marriage was also a weak scholar, eighteen or nineteen years old, and he studied hard to participate in the imperial examination, and he was a serious family.

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed, but Yu'er can see that the discomfort in her son's heart has not decreased at all, but he is still rational and has the responsibility of the emperor.

"Kneel down." Yu'er said, "It's good to do it yourself." ”

Yue Le bowed and stepped back, and Yu'er instructed Su Mala: "Invite Qifujin into the palace in a few days, she was so anxious because I scolded Yue Le last time, but Yue Le and I didn't tell her why, I'm really afraid of rushing her out." ”

Su Mala agreed, and said: "The roster for next year's draft has been submitted, do you want to take a look?" ”

Yu'er knew that Su Mala had already looked at it, and asked, "Is there any special person?" ”

Su Mala shook his head: "The important ones, there are no girls of the right age in the family, that is, ...... The sight of a familiar name startled the slave maid. ”

Yu'er frowned: "Who can scare you?" ”

"The show girl to be selected is called Dong Ejiayue." Su Mala said, "The slave maid hurried to check, and sure enough, it was Dong Ejiayue's cousin, and her father was Dong Ebadu, the captain of the light car, and he was from the same family as General Eshuo. ”

"Brother?"

"Not really."

Yu'er thought for a moment and said, "Then let it be, otherwise we will deliberately screen her, so that it is not good for Fu Lin to misunderstand, and it is not good for outsiders to be suspicious, so it is too much." ”

Su Mala said: "Do you want the slave to send someone to see what kind of character it is?" ”

Yu'er waved her hand and said: "Dong Ejiayin-related things, what I do more, in Fulin's eyes, are disgusted." The tighter I press, the more he will inevitably want to rebel, even if that show girl is really chosen, she is upright, and she is not the wife of a courtier, so what can't she do? ”

"Yes." Su Mala knows Gege's embarrassment, she works very hard to maintain the relationship between mother and son, but whether it is family affairs or government affairs, there are always so many helpless conflicts and disagreements, the queen mother is for the world, but in the eyes of the emperor, it is not necessarily so pure.

Yu'er said: "There is one more thing at the moment, Fulin promised Balya, if she gives birth to Gege, let her raise it by herself, how to convince the public?" Fu Lin naturally felt that he could do it with one sentence, but he didn't know that the people in the harem were difficult to deal with. ”

Su Mala said with a smile: "You have jumped out to look at all this now, that is, you don't distinguish between high and low favors, only look at fairness and unfairness, and when did you take other people in your eyes in the past." Tell the slave and maid to say, then listen to the emperor, what about it? ”

"What if Yuan Xiruo also gave birth to a daughter?" Yu'er asked.

"Tong Guiren can't speak, and there is no more sensible child than her." Su Mala said confidently, "Noble Tong will never cause trouble to you and the emperor, but if the emperor is willing to let Noble Tong raise the princess by himself, then that's another story." ”

Yu'er sighed: "If this is the case, how to make rules in the future." ”

On the New Year's Day of the eleventh year of Shunzhi, not only did Mrs. Tong enter the palace to congratulate her daughter on her birthday, but even Tong Tulai and Tong Guogang could also enter the palace.

This is in the palace, except for Prince Horqin, it is the first time that a male family member of the palace concubine has entered the palace, and the feng shui of Jingren Palace is good, and now everyone believes it.

On the day of her birthday, she hugged her eldest nephew, Yuan Xi was very happy, her sister-in-law was also a gentle and virtuous lady, and she was a very good match with her brother, except that she didn't see her brother, the family was reunited.

"Your belly is not round or sharp, I really can't see the appearance, your sister-in-law at that time, everyone who saw her said that she wanted to give birth to a boy." Mrs. Tong touched it lightly, felt the little guy kicking it over, smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's very lively, and it's very powerful." ”

Because there are male dependents, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, after the family chooses the important words, Yuan Xi sent his father, brother and sister-in-law out of the palace, and happened to meet the grandmothers of the elder brother on the way, and went back with the second elder brother and the second princess.

It seems that they just went to Cining Palace to ask for peace, presumably Concubine Ning and Yang Guiren were also there, and the poor mother and son met in a hurry and were about to separate immediately.

Mrs. Tong said to Yuan Xi: "If the nobles want to open up in the future, the emperor's grace is mighty, and one day the nobles will be crowned concubines, and they will naturally be able to raise the prince by themselves." The milk doll only remembers to eat, and it will not delay in cultivating feelings when it is older in the future. ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Don't worry, E-niang, I have already figured it out." She lowered her head and held her stomach and said, "As long as the child is safe, it is better than anything else, and besides...... E-niang won't tell you that I still don't have a very strong mood to be a mother, probably too young. ”

"When the child lands, you will understand it after a while." Mrs. Tong smiled, "But don't force it, nothing is more important than the safety of mother and child." ”

Yuan Xi looked at her mother, then looked at her sister-in-law beside her, and said: "Sister-in-law, my mother-in-law is occasionally a little short-tempered, but her heart is very good, she must treat you as a daughter, and will never wronged you, and I hope that my sister-in-law will honor my mother more for me in the future." ”

The family said intimate words, and they will soon leave the palace, today, Tong Tulai and Tong Guogang also have a lot of rules to deal with, Yuan Xi can't be sent too far, the family cherishes each other, and the pomegranate leaves they huddle around the nobles and go back.

When they walked in front, Concubine Ning and Yang Guiren just returned from Cining Palace, and when they saw the people of Jingren Palace from afar, Yang Guiren couldn't help muttering: "The same pregnancy for ten months, we gave birth to it, as if it was not a dragon species." ”

In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Chen was sealed as a concubine because she was born so early for a few days, and she didn't get such benefits when she arrived at the Yang family. Moreover, when they have a big belly, there is no other special treatment except for eating and drinking well.

But Jingren Palace was pregnant with a child, and the Queen Mother almost didn't hold Tong Jia's family to the sky, so Yang Guiren was inevitably unhappy.

Concubine Ning said indifferently: "Think about our children, they are all alive and well, what is more important than this?" ”

Yang Guiren nodded hurriedly: "What you said is that life is better than anything else, Concubine Chen Niangniang is depressed all day long, which is really pitiful." ”

After the two separated, Concubine Ning returned to Yikun Palace, and when she entered the door, the maid she married said: "Miss, the eldest brother is gone, our second elder brother is the eldest son of the emperor, if Jingren Palace also gives birth to an elder brother, will the emperor and the queen mother treat our second elder brother badly because they are partial to the nobles Tong?" ”

Concubine Ning's heart churned for a while, but she said with a serious face: "Take care of your mouth, do you know what you are talking about, you don't want to live anymore?" ”

"Yes......"

Concubine Ning's face was full of anger: "Don't say such things again, you don't want to live, don't hurt my son." ”
