After the Abaya Department sent thousands of war horses, Horqin and other southern tribes in the desert also successively donated war horse grain and grass to the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji undoubtedly became the biggest beneficiary, and this is precisely the meaning of the existence of the harem.

Moreover, Namu Zhong has not been favored for many years, but she treats the Fu Jin people well, and she is also very polite to the female relatives of the clan and noble families, compared to Da Yuer, the proud concubine Zhuang who is in the sky, her reputation outside the palace is excellent.

No one knew about her affair with Duoduo, and no one knew about her and Ezhe's pleasure, on the contrary, many people knew that Namu Zhong was bullied by the three of Korqin's aunts and nephews. Not only did she serve the emperor in shame and deduct her use in the palace, but the concubine had no dignity at all except for the title.

It may be a woman from other tribes who came to marry, and she has long been tired of seeing the women of Horqin acting in and out of the palace, and taking this opportunity, the wind in Shengjing City is one-sided for a while. Even Qi Qige was wantonly arranged, saying that she was jealous and fierce, bullying the concubines in the house, and even the late Concubine Abahai was not in her eyes.

All kinds of rumors spread into the palace, and on this day, Hai Lanzhu and Da Yu'er were called to Qingning Palace by Zhezhe and told them: "Don't mess with yourself, their gossip will pass for a while, and you will be in chaos first, and then you will be caught." ”

Da Yu'er and Hai Lanzhu were both indifferent, and Zhezhe asked Hai Lanzhu: "The emperor has been with you for a few days, are you okay, did the emperor say anything?" ”

"As in the past, tell some jokes, the emperor is tired, and he goes to bed very early every night." Hai Lanzhu responded, "But it's early, every day when I go back to the inner palace to approach, sometimes it's too late and I don't want to wait, so I won't come, you also know." ”

"Namu Zhong's matter ......" Zhezhe wanted to ask, but swallowed it.

She remembered that Huang Taiji once said that Hai Lanzhu was most intimate to him that she never asked anything.

Zhezhe looked at her weak niece, she has not looked bad recently, and she could have made people feel at ease, but she was afraid that she would hold everything in her heart and turn around and get sick.

"You each take care of yourself and the palace people." Zhezhe said, "It's not a big deal, it's unknown whether Namu Zhong can give birth to a son, even if it's a son, you don't have to worry about these things, I will naturally solve it." ”

When Da Yu'er and Hai Lanzhu just agreed, not much nonsense, when they exited Qingning Palace, Da Yu'er heard her sister's sigh, and couldn't help but say: "If my sister is not happy, just say it to him, and you don't say it, he really thinks it's not a big deal." ”

Hai Lanzhu was honest: "Actually, the emperor made a compensatory deal with me on the first day, saying that he couldn't hold it at the time, and I don't know if Namu Zhong did something to him, he sent someone to search Na Mu Zhong's dormitory afterwards, but nothing was found." ”

"If people have unclean things, of course, they carry them with them, and they can use them at any time, and then they are not afraid of you searching, if you really want to search for them, there is no hope of tearing your face." Da Yu'er said, glanced at the door of the Lintoe Palace, and said to Hai Lanzhu, "Sister, don't pay attention to anything over there, take care of yourself." ”

She left by herself, but Hai Lanzhu grabbed her sleeves: "Yu'er, did the emperor say anything to you, did he explain?" ”

Da Yu'er smiled faintly: "Of course, it's the same as what my sister said." ”

This is not right at all, Hai Lanzhu is not stupid.

If the emperor really explained to Yu'er, how could she let herself not hold back, to put it bluntly, she didn't know anything, and she and the emperor would not get along......

Back at Guan Ju Palace, Baoqing said softly: "Master, why did you ask so much just now, how sad Concubine Zhuang should be, the emperor hasn't been to Concubine Zhuang's house for several months, and the two of them don't even talk now." I listened to Su Mala, in order not to be embarrassed, Concubine Zhuang didn't see the emperor, and she didn't have to talk if she didn't see her. ”

Hai Lanzhu looked at her in a daze, Baoqing sighed and said: "The emperor doesn't even go to the study now, he used to always go to the study to sit and have a cup of tea, only Niangniang herself, and she insisted on going to the study every day, but now even Mr. is not here." ”

"Sir is not coming? Fan Wencheng, they are not coming? Hai Lanzhu Huo Ran stood up from the kang, couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly ran to Yongfu Palace.

Da Yu'er was reading the letter that had just been sent from Chahar, and when she looked up and saw that her sister was in such a hurry, she smiled and said: "Yatu just came to the letter, I haven't finished reading it yet, how can my sister know, my sister thinks about her more than me." ”

Hai Lanzhu didn't care about Yatu, and asked her sister worriedly, why didn't those gentlemen come to teach her, and did the emperor not let them come.

Da Yu'er smiled: "No, the emperor won't be so stingy, it's that the state affairs are busy at the moment, and we are afraid that we will immediately go to fight the Ming Dynasty, they all have positions in their bodies, so they can come and talk to me when they are free, and they are busy now, aren't they?" ”

"Really?" Hai Lanzhu asked.

"Of course it's true, not to mention that I'm now able to teach myself." Da Yu'er said, "In the past, I was illiterate, and I didn't understand the meaning of the words even if I recognized the words, but now I understand them, and even the most esoteric books can be read by myself, but it takes more effort than the gentlemen." ”

Hai Lanzhu looked at her sister melancholy, Da Yu'er didn't have the heart to worry about her sister, so she hurriedly unfolded the letter sent by her daughter, and her originally smiling face slowly climbed into sadness.

"What's wrong with Yatu?" Hai Lanzhu saw that her sister's face changed, so she remembered to ask.

"Let's go see my aunt." Da Yu'er said, taking her sister to Qingning Palace.

Yatu wrote to say that she was going back to Shengjing early because her eldest brother-in-law was sick. After Ezhe returned to Chahar, he had been depressed, and suddenly fell ill a few days ago, and his condition worsened, so the eldest princess asked Yatu to return to Shengjing first, and then if there was anything, she would send a letter to Shengjing.

Zhezhe ordered someone to send a message to Sutai Fujin, and it is said that when Sutai Fujin heard it, he cried and knelt on the ground, and was very emotional.

In the Yongfu Palace, Da Yu'er asked Su Mala: "Do you remember the day Yatu went to Chahar, Su Tai Fujin was a little weird, his look was in a trance, and his face was bad." ”

"Gege, doesn't Su Tai Fu Jin Mo know something?" Su Mala said, "I'll go and inquire." ”

A few days later, Su Mala inquired around and turned over some things that had been overlooked.

At that time, Da Yu'er was busy turning faces with Huang Taiji over Yatu's affairs, and now she knows that Namu Zhong had gone out of the palace to see her son, and she also invited Ezhe to visit his half-brother.

The grandmothers who guarded Ezhe said that they had a private meeting with the children inside, and the concubine sent them all away, and there was no movement inside, and then the concubine came out first, saying that Abunai wanted his brother to play with him, and she couldn't break the rules of the palace and left first.

"Does she look strange?" Da Yu'er asked.

"The grandmothers can't remember, but they reported to the emperor and the queen at the time, saying that Ezhe also went there." Su Mala said, "The emperor and the queen's mother, they didn't have the heart to investigate it at that time." ”

Yu'er guessed that Su Tai Fujin was so nervous, maybe something happened to her son and Namu Zhong that day, thinking that Namu Zhong even dared to ask for Duoduo, and turned the clouds and rain without resisting or struggling, I was afraid that when I saw the eldest son of my deceased husband, I was in love.

Su Mala asked quietly: "Isn't the seed in her stomach the imperial ......?"

"Everything is just speculation on our part." Da Yu'er interrupted Su Mala, "He doesn't care about himself, we don't have to make a fuss, he doesn't really care, he doesn't think so, it's just because Namu Zhong and the seeds in her stomach can be used to exchange for war horses, as for the Qing Dynasty, Namu Zhong don't dream about the Spring and Autumn Festival." ”

"Gege, the emperor is still looking for our ninth elder brother, right?" Su Mala said, "Why didn't you tell Da Gege that although the gentlemen are not coming, the emperor will send you new books every once in a while, and the emperor is actually ......."

Da Yu'er smiled freely: "Let them go, I want books, people and affection, I don't want it." ”

Su Mala pursed her lips, determined not to mention it again, at least these days, her family has always been fine, not like back then, she would cry in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, she ate well and slept well, and she was full of energy every day.

"What about the Lintoe Palace?"

"He must have an idea in his heart, we don't have to interfere, take care of ourselves." Da Yu'er got up, walked to the window, and looked towards the Lintoe Palace, "However, the accounts that should be settled will be cleared sooner or later, I promised my sister." ”

Su Mala was puzzled: "What did you promise?" ”

Da Yu'er said: "Don't let the person who killed the eighth elder brother die happily." ”

Su Mala was shocked, ran up and said softly: "Could it be that the person who killed the eighth elder brother ......" she asked tremblingly, "Has the emperor checked it, do you know?" ”

Da Yu'er's eyes were cold: "I hope he hasn't checked, I hope he doesn't know, otherwise, he will even lie to his sister...... Heh......"
