Saying this, Hongyan suddenly relieved that Concubine Chun was pregnant, Ruyin said it well, the previous vacillation and uneasiness were actually jealous. She still loves this man and loves her husband, so she is sad for the existence of other women.

The hug didn't last too long, Hongli knew that he was a good emperor, so as to live up to his grandmother's nurturing grace, Hongyan was his person, and he would return to his side one day, why should he be obsessed with it at this moment.

"The emperor is careful on the road." They let go of each other's embrace, and Hongyan stretched out her hand to dress the emperor for the whole thing, not as humble and polite as when she sent off the queen, she had already taken the initiative to enter Hongli's life, and no longer regarded herself as the humble palace maid or promised.

"Okay." Hongli kissed her lightly on the forehead, and simply instructed these three words and left, Hongyan looked at the door for a while, and when the emperor's figure disappeared, he immediately returned to the concubine, the concubine seemed to be tired and fell asleep, her breath was stable and peaceful, and Hongyan's heart was relieved.

Taking advantage of the time when the concubine rested, Hongyan went to the Buddhist hall to chant and pray for the concubine, and when the ceremony was over, she lowered her head and saw the lapis lazuli bracelet on her wrist, which is her most cherished thing now, thinking of Hongli saying that the concubine had a thought in this world, and the concubine regarded her as her own child.

After that, for most of the day, Hongyan was with the concubine, and the concubine asked Yuzhi to dig out some old things, including gold and silver jewelry, and things left to her by Kangxi Ye or Empress Xiaoyiren or Concubine De, the concubine had no heirs, and sure enough, in addition to leaving Yuzhi Mama for the elderly, and leaving things for Concubine Wen Hui and Concubine Mi, the rest were given to Hongyan. Her small promise is that she can't save so many good things in her life, but when she returns to the Forbidden City like this, she can be so rich that everyone envies her.

Hongyan was ashamed of it, and didn't dare to take all the things, and said: "Won't the concubine leave some for the queen, the princess, and the little brothers?" ”

The concubine smiled: "They don't lack these in their lives, and they won't worry about it, as for the queen, I gave her the most important thing, but whether she is rare or not, whether she can cherish it or not, I don't care." If only all this gold and silver money could be of any benefit to you in the future, I have nothing to do, but I will not even have the opportunity to spend it in my life. ”

Mama Yuzhi persuaded Hongyan to accept it, saying that in the future, there are places in the Forbidden City where money is used, if you don't want to be framed for fornication with people again, it is very important to use money to network connections, of course, money can't buy sincerity, Wei promised that if she can convince people with virtue like here in Yingtai, so that everyone really likes her, it will be better.

In order to reassure the concubine, Hongyan finally accepted so many favors, and in the evening, she rarely met the concubine and said that she was hungry, so Hongyan carefully fed most of the bowl of porridge, but the concubine had a very good appetite and wanted to eat, but Hongyan was afraid that she would eat too much and was uncomfortable, so she didn't give the porridge anymore, and broke a small piece of the concubine's favorite sesame candy and let her hold it in her mouth.

But after Hongyan moved to a small table, and when she sat on the sickbed for dinner, the concubine looked at her and said that she was greedy, and Hongyan had to break some of her own food for her to taste, and the old lady smiled brightly when she ate, so that Hongyan was at ease.

When night fell, Hongyan brought hot water to wipe the concubine's body, changed into clean bedclothes, and the concubine said: "I have something in my stomach today, I can sleep steadily, I can't eat before and I don't feel hungry, but my body is empty, and I feel satisfied tonight." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Then you go to bed early, the concubine will beat your legs, do you want Cherry to tell you a joke." ”

The concubine shook her head, her face was sleepy, and she said lazily: "Let's just talk, the little cherry is chirping, and the noise makes me have a headache." ”

Hongyan said: "You can't let her listen to this, knowing that she is noisy by you, she is going to cry." Cherry likes the toffee the most. ”

"Cherry is a real child, with her grandfather's connections in the palace, she can give you a lot of help in the future, and if you want to protect her, you can't be bullied first." The concubine said to herself, "You have to keep in mind the fact that she was beaten by the princess, naturally I don't want you to hold grudges and respect." ”

"The concubine understands that what is remembered is a lesson, not a grudge against the princess, who is as old as a cherry, and is a child in the eyes of the concubine." Hongyan said.

"Children will grow up, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I must be a big girl like Cherry." The concubine said and looked at Hongyan, she had seen many beauties, there was no shortage of beauties in the harem at that time, her own sister, the concubine who gave birth to the eighth elder brother, and the sister of Concubine De, she smiled and said: "Hongyan, have you ever thought about what great things you want to do in this life?" ”

Hongyan shook his head: "Don't you know the concubine, it's good that the days to come can be safe and smooth." ”

The concubine's eyes drifted into the distance, and she said slowly: "I have never done a great thing in my life, when I was young, I was bullied by an arrogant and proud little nobleman, and I recall that I have been hiding under the wings of others all my life, God seems to have turned my life arrangement upside down, and in the last twenty years, I survived alone." ”

Hongyan smiled: "You are the emperor who raised the Qing Dynasty, and you are as great as the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang." ”

The concubine smiled: "That's the favor of Kangxi, whoever you raise is raised, probably because I'm afraid that I will be old and have no support." ”

Hongyan saw that the concubine was stubborn, so she followed her wishes, lowered her head and carefully kneaded her legs, hoping to relieve the soreness of the concubine's bones, but the concubine suddenly said: "I didn't expect it to come, but I fulfilled your child, and when my father-in-law brought you, I only thought it was troublesome, and now that I think about it, it may be the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life." ”

"It was the concubine Niangniang who saved the concubine and took in the concubine when she was most helpless." Hongyan said, and couldn't help but redden.

"Child, in the days to come, you must live well, you are a blessed child." The concubine smiled, waved her hand and said, "Don't beat my legs, I'm sleepy." ”

Hongyan got up, helped the concubine to lie down slowly, covered her with a quilt, and the concubine said: "If I fall asleep, you can also rest, accompany me day and night, how good is it that you fall." Brew me milk tea tomorrow morning, I want to drink sweet. ”

Hongyan coaxed: "Yes, the thick one is brewed for you and warmed, and you can drink it when you get up." ”

The concubine was satisfied, closed her eyes and slept peacefully, Hongyan saw that she was sleeping very soundly with her breath, and after accompanying her for half an hour, she remembered the thing she wanted to do during the day, and after sending someone to be on duty here, she went back to her house.

Cherry still lives in a room with Hongyan, and when she comes back, she quickly brings tea and water, but Hongyan is neither hungry nor thirsty, so she only asks Cherry to light a few more candles. After removing the bracelet on his wrist and cutting it, he split the remaining beads in half and strung them back into two strings, and Cherry asked, "What is this?" ”

Hongyan didn't say anything, and touched Cherry's head: "Go to sleep, tomorrow morning, we will prepare milk tea for the concubine, you go ahead and ask them to bring fresh milk." ”

The night was spent peacefully, the next day was April, it was drizzling when the sky was bright, Hongyan got up and dressed, the palace people outside the door said that Fucha Fujin had arrived, and when she went out, Ruyin was already standing under the porch and waiting. The drizzle was as beautiful as jade, and she smiled and said: "Why did you come so early, I just looked at you like looking at a painting." ”

Ruyin smiled: "Sister, is she also talking about herself?" She also said that Fu Heng had a business trip today, and she went out of the city before dawn, so she steamed the concubine's favorite dim sum and rushed to send it early, only to find out that it was too early when she arrived here. Hongyan held her combed hair and said: "The concubine said that she was going to drink milk tea today, and it was just right with the snacks you made, and my appetite suddenly improved yesterday, and I was happy in my heart." ”

They came to the inner hall together, the palace was quiet, and the palace maids and eunuchs on duty were not lazy, Hongyan told them to rest, and they erected the curtain on the concubine's couch, which was only a thin layer of gauze curtains, for fear that the concubine would feel that it was not breathable, and when she looked through the curtain, the concubine was sleeping peacefully.

Ruyin stepped forward to lift the curtain on the other side, glanced at the sleeping old lady, and suddenly her heart sank, and she couldn't help but say, "Concubine Niangniang...... Did you sleep too deeply? ”

Hongyan stepped forward and called a few times, but the concubine did not move, Hongyan suddenly felt that the concubine's body was motionless, and when she fell asleep last night, there was a slight fluctuation because of her breathing, Hongyan was stiff, and her hand that was about to lift the concubine's quilt was frozen in the middle, Ruyin had the courage to come forward and touch the concubine's breath, and when she burst into tears, she cried: "Sister, the concubine is gone." ”

Mama Yuzhi was coming in with a gargle of tea, and when she heard Ruyin's words, her hand was loosened, and the movement of the broken teacup attracted the palace maid and eunuch outside, seeing Fucha Fujin crying like that, and seeing Wei Yu and Mama Yuzhi stiffening, someone hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and soon the imperial doctor also announced that the concubine was gone.

Qingyun Hall was shrouded in crying for a while, Concubine Wen Hui stumbled from Jingxing Hall when she heard the news, people inside and outside here were crying on the ground, she entered the door with tears, only to see Hongyan kneeling on the edge of the couch, gently wrapping a string of lapis lazuli around the concubine's wrist, and her own wrist also had a string of the same, when Concubine Wenhui approached, she heard Hongyan saying: "Don't worry, Hongyan will live well." ”

Concubine Shouqi passed away in her sleep, walked quietly, experienced the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, survived 20 years of loneliness, and finally went to meet her husband and sisters.

And Wei Hongyan's life has just begun, she has lost the big tree she relied on since then, but the understanding given to her by the concubine is enough to support her through her life, she will always remember the words of Concubine Shouqi, she is a blessed child, she must guard her happiness.

The emperor learned the news of the death of the concubine at the court meeting, immediately stopped the court meeting, led hundreds of officials to Yingtai, and the moment he walked on the long bridge, Hongli saw the person standing on the other side of the bridge, and Hongyan was waiting for him there.
