No matter how straightforward Concubine Shu is, she doesn't dare to talk back to the Queen Mother like she usually refutes Concubine Jia, so she can only respond to the old lady's words, saying that she will take care of Fukangan and not let Fukangan quarrel with Concubine Xin's baby.

The queen mother didn't care about her grievances, and repeatedly told the concubines not to disturb Concubine Xin, and because she entrusted the queen to take care of Concubine Xin's fetus, she said a lot of words to her. In person, the queen responded one by one, but before she walked out of the door of Ningshou Palace, Hongyan heard her instruct Hua Rong: "Concubine Xin can do whatever she wants, you don't have to go back and forth to me in everything, and she is happy to add or decrease manpower, and it is up to her to choose which imperial doctor to serve the pulse case." ”

Everyone didn't dare to speak, the queen's words, as if she was deliberately said to everyone, at best, it was passed on to the queen mother, anyway, she did it, old lady, if you can't get used to it, please be smart.

Hongyan and a few people don't talk much, if they don't live around Chengqian Palace before and after, otherwise they just want to be farther away, now Xin Concubine is the number one important person in the Forbidden City, but no one knows that the child who made her an important person has already passed away.

On the day of Laba, Mrs. Nasutu was ordered to visit her daughter in the palace, and thanked the queen mother for her grace in Ningshou Palace, but she did not come out in Chengqian Palace. That day, she took two maids from the house into the Forbidden City, and when she left, she also took two people with her, her cheeks were red from the cold and snow, and she was about the same size in heavy clothes, and no one paid attention to the difference between the people who came and the people who went, but Mrs. Sutu left a person who could let Concubine Xin continue to "get pregnant", hoping to give birth to a "prince" on the day of childbirth calculated by the imperial doctor.

When everyone saw Xin Concubine again, it was already at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, she had enough days to recuperate after giving birth, and at this moment she had regained her ruddy complexion, and she was dressed up luxuriously and brightly, and she was festive when she looked at it. And this month is still young, and she didn't show her figure, she came to the banquet generously, and the Queen Mother arranged comfortable and spacious seats for her, not to mention that she crossed Concubine Yu and Concubine Ling, and even Concubine Jia was compared.

Everyone understands the queen mother's thoughts, so I don't know if Concubine Xin can compete to give birth to a prince, but then again, what about the prince, can he be more noble than the concubine of the middle palace. On the contrary, as Concubine Shu said, everyone understands the intentions of the Queen Mother, if Concubine Xin wins the prince, she will be a legitimate concubine, and it will be difficult to say the situation of the Sixth Palace at that time, and the purpose of the Queen Mother is not to squeeze Concubine Ling down?

All this, Hongli also knows that he is just a beautiful woman for Concubine Xin, but the purpose of her being used by the Queen Mother is annoying, but at this point, the emperor has the intention to gamble with his mother, if Concubine Xin gives birth to a daughter, there is no need to say anything, if he gives birth to a son, then he also has to consider the situation of Hongyan. This calculation is not aimed at Concubine Xin, but if his mother does not let go of his prejudice against Hongyan for a day, he will protect Hongyan for a day, and he has come through ups and downs in the past, how can he let her be hurt again now.

The emperor started the court affairs on the first day, and almost all the days of the seal of the month were in the Yanxi Palace, and the first time in the first month of the first month, the first time the brand was flipped over, and on the night of the third day of the new year, he still rushed to Hongyan's side. Even Hongyan was worried that the emperor had asked too much recently, afraid that he would not be able to bear it, and he would excuse himself if he came again this day and didn't even want to be uncomfortable, but the emperor said: "I won't trouble you, let's just lie down, it's so cold, you can't sleep alone under the covers." ”

"These days are very attentive." Hongyan said bluntly, "Did the emperor come up with some new tricks, first coaxed the concubines to be happy, and then had to nod and agree?" ”

"What's new?" Hongli Road.

"Counting the days, the draft of Ying Concubine was also several years ago." Hongyan said, "Is the emperor going to add another newcomer?" ”

Hongli was displeased: "You can't think of me in a good way, I'm so greedy for women?" ”

Hongyan glanced at him with a smile, everything was silent, turned around and escaped from the emperor's sight, and heard the emperor say to her in a suppressed voice: "You also know how to run, where can you run?" ”

The joy of the boudoir stopped in front of the door, as soon as Hongyan came out of the dormitory, he returned to his serious expression, it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask about the Lantern Festival, Hongyan stood under the eaves and listened to the reply, but saw the persimmon cake sent by his father-in-law who made himself, remembered the words he said to his father-in-law that day, and then read that the emperor was very deliberate these days, and his heart became heavy for a while. The emperor was casually flipping through the book she had put on the warm kang, and when he looked up and saw her, he was happy, but when he saw the red eyes, he knew that she had something on his mind, and asked: "The people of the Internal Affairs Office are embarrassing you again?" They're getting better at errands now. ”

"Where is the matter, who dares to embarrass the concubines, and is not afraid that the emperor will take off their heads?" Hongyan smiled, put down the persimmon, and asked the emperor if he would eat it.

Hongli picked a small piece to taste, saying that it was sweeter than the one presented in the imperial dining room, but he heard Hongyan smile and said: "I dried it with my father-in-law personally, and I sent some over just now." ”

The emperor's expression was obviously a little unnatural, and he deliberately avoided Hongyan's gaze, but Hongyan chased after her, held the emperor's fingers with his warm hand, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, forget about that matter, if the concubine says something that you don't like, we will all be gone in the future, if someone turns this matter out and says, wouldn't it be pitiful to the child and her children and grandchildren, who can shelter them at that time." ”

Hongli frowned slightly, and said with a red face: "What if you put the concubine's family into it?" Your Majesty, who knows what will happen a hundred years from now, but resting innocent children may pay the price for our temporary comfort. ”

The emperor asked, "Did Lao He say anything to you?" ”

With a red face, he said: "He father-in-law is also for the good of his concubine, why should he be obsessed with a child born by himself, not to mention that he was not born by himself at all, what if he gets the affirmation of others for a while, he will not be steady in his heart for a lifetime." It's better to raise Buddha so upright, but it's better to hold a nephew like Sister Shu to raise a little blood relative, why should the emperor and his concubines bother? Your Majesty, you always say that the concubines don't have anything to ask you for, so can this matter be done? Let's give up, what is a five-year covenant and a ten-year covenant, the important thing is to be with each other for a lifetime, right, don't think that the concubines are old and decrepit in the future, so you will throw away your hands. ”

Hongli was moved, hugged Hongyan into his arms, and couldn't help kissing her cheek, gradually his lips and teeth blended, and there were crystal tears in the corners of Hongyan's eyes, and the emperor tightly wrapped her body in his arms, hating and distressing: "Why can't it, did I do something wrong, or did you do something wrong?" The queen mother must have poured you sterilization medicine back then, and Mama Hua's words must have been just to preserve the relationship between mother and child. Hongyan, it must be the Queen Mother who hurt you, and it was I who failed to protect you. ”

"In the New Year's month, you can't be in a hurry." Hongyan wiped away her tears, reached out and unbuttoned the button in Hongli's neck, gentle as water and smiled charmingly, "Don't be angry, the emperor can't be angry with you, but you have to be gentle, I was too anxious a while ago." ”

Hongli knew that she deliberately diverted the topic with these ambiguous words, not only did she not have the desire to control it, but said more calmly: "No matter how many concubines there are, no matter what she gives birth to, I will never let the Queen Mother shake your status, I don't want to quarrel with her again, I just need to let her look at your scenery, watch you be happy, and watch you live better than anyone else, that's enough." ”

Hongyan's deliberate temptation of the emperor's mind was seen through, and the charm on his face dissipated, replaced by relief and peace of mind, and he stood up and pecked lightly on the emperor's lips, "After so many years, Hongyan is content." ”

The five-year covenant, under Hongyan's repeated pleading, the emperor finally decided to give up, and his father-in-law was also relieved, after all, confusing the royal blood, even if it is a girl, it is okay when it is fine, once something happens, how many people will take their lives. He father-in-law is not afraid of death at this age, but he thinks that if the concubine gives up this idea, the future life will be more exciting, why worry about raising a child from nowhere, and suppress his life for a hundred years later.

But she didn't even know about cherries, Hongyan only waited for Fukangan to enter the palace when she was 100 days, and then told her the good news, and Ruyin suffered a lot during this delivery, and she was very relieved that the child was in the palace, so she honestly raised her at home for 100 days before she dared to go out.

Although Fu Heng is good news and not bad news, Fu Heng can't know nothing, the day of Fukang'an 100 days, is also the day when Fu Heng sends good news back to Beijing, Ruyin entered the palace to visit the child, and said to Hongyan that the court sent good news that she received Fu Heng's family letter at the same time, Fu Heng's words in the letter were very impatient, full of distress for his wife.

However, a child who is not the prince's son for 100 days actually set up a banquet in the palace, and the emperor personally gave the imperial meal to Zhongcui Palace to celebrate Concubine Shu, as if it was really his own son's 100 days. In addition, Fucha Fujin had an ambiguous rumor with the emperor, and on this day, it was not rumored that General Fucha had won the battle, but began to discuss whether the crown on his official hat was red or green.

The queen mother was very dissatisfied with this, and repeatedly said that raising the son of a foreign minister was not in the palace, but the emperor always smiled perfunctory, and the queen didn't care about anything, and the old lady had no other way than to give a cold face.

He didn't know that his son, after he asked for Concubine Jiagui, he was said three or four times that he didn't care about his concubine's pregnancy and was messing with flowers outside, and the fourth elder brother at that time insisted on leaving his mother to stay with the Jin family. Now that there are rumors about Fukangan's bloodline, the emperor prefers to keep him in the palace to see who is more patient than whom.

Concubine Yu didn't care about this, saying that how to have today's Concubine Jiagui, naturally there is also a future for the child Fukangan.

When the 100-day banquet was held in the Zhongcui Palace, there were guests who came uninvited, and Chunmei came in uneasily to tell everyone: "Concubine Xin is in front of the door, saying that she is here to congratulate the little prince for 100 days." ”
