Everything that happened in the garden quickly spread to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the little eunuch who was noticed by Hongyan but didn't find out was the person under Chief Manager Wu.

Chief Manager Wu tactfully informed the emperor of the Empress Dowager's anger, Hongli frowned slightly when he heard it, but did not raise his head from the recital, and only ordered: "Pick a few things that the concubine likes to eat in the lunch and send them to Chuxiu Palace, and there is no need to say anything else, I will go over and sit in the evening." ”

Mr. Wu agreed, but only when he turned around, the emperor instructed him again: "Go to Ningshou Palace for lunch, don't alarm Eniang, I will pass halfway." ”

As Hongli said, after the Queen Mother moved the chopsticks, he went to Ningshou Palace to have a meal. During the banquet, no one mentioned the things in the garden, and talked to He Lele for a while, and the princess was well-behaved, and everyone was smiling when they dispersed.

But Hongyan returned to Changchun Palace with the queen, and as soon as she entered the door, she read to herself: "I'm really tired." ”

I thought the queen was going to say something, but she just smiled, and listened to Hongyan talk about the future in the garden, and there was something thoughtful in her eyes, but she didn't mention it again after all. Because the emperor was comfortable wearing the previous insole, the queen asked Hongyan to sew a few pairs, she watched from the side, and gradually couldn't bear the warmth in the room and the boring tediousness of needlework, and unconsciously fell asleep on the beauty couch.

And Hongli for today's matter, he had something to say to his wife, and after supervising the renovation of the palace with the people of the Ministry of Industry, he came to Changchun Palace by the way. Seeing that it was quiet here, he entered the door alone without letting people pass it, there was a faint fragrance in the room, and the beauty was sleeping peacefully on the couch, sitting on the side, flying needles and threads without distraction.

Hongli saw at a glance that she was embroidered with a pair of insoles in her hand, but when she got closer, she saw that the bright yellow satin was coiled with a five-clawed golden dragon, which was obviously made for her own use, that is, the insoles that An Yi stuffed in her boots before were also from this little palace maid?

He coughed lightly, blushing for a moment, raised his eyes and saw the emperor coming, so bluffed that he almost pricked his hand, and the next moment he realized something important, and instinctively hid the insoles behind him.

This extra action is stupid to look at.

Before the queen woke up, Hongyan was already flushed with panic, but the emperor just said lightly: "Go down." She hurriedly grabbed the sewing basket and left cautiously.

But when she went out, she felt even more panicked, how to calculate this matter, as far as she knew, Niangniang claimed to be made by the emperor herself, and then the emperor saw that he was doing it himself, if the emperor and queen were unhappy because of this, wouldn't it be her sin? What are they talking about when they are in there?

The long wait was too grinding, Hongyan listened carefully to the movements inside, for fear that something would be unhappy, and even when Manager Wu came to talk to her, she coped with it without saying a word. I don't know how long I waited, but the emperor was finally coming out.

Hongli walked out of the door curtain, saw the stiff red face, thought of the appearance of her embroidered insole, and the comfort of her feet these days, and smiled when she walked in front of her: "Don't be afraid, you are doing a good job, I like it very much, if there is anything to say, the mother will explain to you, and there is no need to hide it in the future." ”

Hongyan raised his head in a daze, the emperor's gentle smile reflected in his eyes, he looked very happy, but it must not be because of a pair of insoles, and the queen in the door finally followed, and said with a smile: "The emperor should go early, the concubine has always rested early." ”

They looked at each other and smiled, and the emperor left.

Only then did the queen call: "Hongyan, you come in." ”
