The light in front of the door came in, Mo said that Hongyan had reported to her home, she and the person in front of her already knew each other, and it was Prince Hongday who came, but I don't know how the emperor and the relatives and nobles went to the top to pray for blessings today, how could he appear here.

Hongyang still had a bit of the posture of a prince, and scolded: "What are you doing here, to catch thieves? ”

The people who came knew and the prince may not recognize Hongyan, although the favored Wei promised to be famous, not many people had seen it, even when Hongyan was a palace maid, most of the people he saw were limited to people walking in the inner palace, and these people outside the inner palace did not know each other.

They are jealous of the prince's dignity, but they also have their own responsibilities, and one of them stood up and said: "I received a secret report that there was a palace maid who had an affair with the minister, and the servants also acted according to the rules. ”

Hongyan didn't understand what the man said at all, but Hongtian looked flustered, a few days ago he and a palace maid named Xiangrui were arrested, he spent money to buy the guards to suppress this matter, and I don't know if it was reported to the top to know, at that time I thought that Xiangrui was sent to the Shen Criminal Division to make a decision, but he heard that Xiangrui was not dead in the past few days, and would be thrown out of the palace, and today the people from the Internal Affairs Office are going to send Xiangrui, he is specially excused not to go to the top with the emperor to pick up this little lady.

Just now, when he came here, there was a little eunuch who diligently guided him, saying that people were waiting here, and sent him all the way to the door. Who knew that he crashed into the door, but people said that it was Wei in the palace who agreed, and Hongtian was also dumbfounded at the time, but these guards immediately rushed in.

"Lord, this palace maid will be handed over to the inner palace to wait for the queen to be released, and you may have to give an explanation here." As the man spoke, he sent someone to pull Hongyan, but Hongtian sneered, "She is not a palace maid, she is the emperor's Wei promise." ”

The people who came were all shocked, looked at Hongyan in disbelief, and also noticed that her dress color was different from that of ordinary palace maids, if it was really the emperor's person, what happened today......

Originally, this matter could be turned into a big thing and a small matter, Hongday was the same as before, and he spent money again to suppress the matter, at most, he and Wei promised to be embarrassed by each other, but the last time he was caught making a mistake, he thought he was unlucky, but today, it is obvious that someone framed him, and Hongday will not do it. He is unproductive, but he is not a wreck, he was ridiculed by several guards, he was a prince for nothing, but he made a fuss, and things were ugly.

At this moment, the emperor and the queen are still outside the city and have not returned, only the queen mother is in charge of the palace, these people see that things are not as simple as a palace maid, they just want to shirk their responsibilities, since they are making trouble with the prince, then they will make trouble with the queen mother, Xiao Cherry followed a few little eunuchs to eat a full belly and returned, but saw that his master was monitored by more than a dozen guards and eunuchs and walked outside, and there was a person in front of him who scolded and scolded, what "wait to find out, you are all waiting to lose your head".

"Master......" Cherry was anxious to rush up, but the little eunuch behind her grabbed her and kindly reminded, "You go up now, they can only tie you up, and they can't help." It's better to follow quietly, in case something happens, so that you can ask the concubine. ”

Cherry felt reasonable, didn't dare to go up again, and waited for them to leave, then quietly followed behind, sure enough, this way was to Ningshou Palace, and the Queen Mother happened to be talking to Concubine Yu in the palace, and suddenly such a thing came to her eyes, and Concubine Yu was immediately stupid.

She had a weak heart, knowing that her son had committed something a few days ago, but she didn't expect her son to commit crimes again and again, but what came with him was still the red face she saw every day, and Concubine Yu's head was blank, just thinking that no matter what, she had to keep her son.

"Why are you again?" The Queen Mother listened to the person who explained the matter clearly, looked at the red face kneeling in the center of the hall, and was no longer going to be angry, and said coldly, "I always want not to target you, but you always have something to move in front of me, aren't you in Shoukang Palace and can't come out, how can you go back and provoke you?" ”

Hongyan still doesn't understand what's going on, she got the permission of the concubine early in the morning, and even told the emperor in person last night that she was going to visit her father. Although it is not in accordance with the rules, it is not that there is no such thing in the palace, and the above can know it, she went to the Internal Affairs Office generously, and she also wanted to ask why there was always messy trouble, which would happen to her.

At this time, Hongyang jumped up, and shouted regardless of the etiquette: "Queen Mother, I am wronged, I have ten heads and will not do such a thing, you go to check, you must find out." ”

The Queen Mother looked at him coldly, her eyes full of disgust: "Go and check and tell the world, let everyone know that the emperor's woman and the prince have an affair?" ”

Hongtian was stunned for a moment, and was even more anxious to speak incoherently: "There is nothing, how can you talk nonsense?" I'm also a little ambiguous with a palace maid, what's wrong, isn't it just a palace maid? ”

Concubine Yu was so anxious that she rushed up and slapped her son, pressed her to the ground, and then begged the queen mother: "The matter of the palace maid, the concubine has found out, it was that little slut who seduced Hongday, but I was afraid of embarrassing you and the emperor, and the concubine didn't dare to let others know about it." Queen Mother, don't be angry with Hongday, he's still a child, today's matter, this matter...... Is it Wei who promised to seduce Hongyang? ”

Hongyan felt that the five thunders were thundering, and looked at Concubine Yu incredulously, a woman who was nearly half a hundred years old was pitifully prostrate at the feet of the Queen Mother, begging to explain, but his son was anxious, jumped up and pointed at Hongyan and said: "I didn't even talk to her, Eniang, don't talk nonsense." ”

Concubine Yu said: "You're fine, don't let others have a heart, are you stupid or not, shut up for me, shut up!" ”

Outside Ningshou Palace, Cherry can't get in anymore if he comes here. The emperor said that he wanted her to be clever and wanted her to know to pass the word to the Palace of Nourishing Heart, but the emperor was not in the palace at this time, she could only ask the concubine for help, and it would be a long way to run back to Shoukang Palace from here. ”

The palace people also confirmed that it was the cherry that Wei promised to be around, and He Jing didn't know what to think, and immediately said: "Does she still have some rules, let her run like this in the palace, and take it for me." ”

Waiting for a few little eunuchs to catch up with Cherry and bring her to the princess, Cherry realized who she was ramming against, the last time the princess beat her with a torture rod, I don't know what will happen this time, to put it bluntly, it was against Wei who promised, and even her grandfather told her that the princess was jealous of her and Sister Hongyan.

"I said you ......" He Jing just spoke, but saw the little palace maid struggle out of the eunuch's hand, and fell to her knees on the ground.

"Princess, the slave and maid should die, the slave and maid are willing to bear any punishment, but princess, let the slave and maid go back to Shoukang Palace first, my master has been wronged, and the slave and maid are going to ask the concubine to be the master of Wei's promise. Princess, you let the slave and maid go, this matter is over, the slave and maid will come to Changchun Palace to ask for guilt, and when the time comes, you will kill or chop, and please send the princess down. Cherry kowtowed heavily and looked up at the princess with tears in her eyes.

He Jing had just come back from the study, and he was accused by Mr. of being angry about his homework, so he happened to meet cherries. She has always been jealous that this little girl can follow Hongyan and be good with Hongyan, so she wanted to be angry, but who knew that there was another thing behind them.

"Is there such a thing?" The princess asked the people around her.

"The slave maid heard that many people went to Ningshou Palace just now, but the slave maid didn't know what the specific thing was." The grandmother on the side responded, she didn't want the princess to toss the cherries again, and the emperor and queen both gave them orders to take good care of the princess.

"Princess, please, let the slave go." Cherry pleaded again.

"Let's go." When He Jing heard that Hongyan had been wronged, not only did she not have the pleasure of gloating, but she was also worried about her, but she didn't want to show her face, so she walked away from Cherry with her head held high, leaving people alone.

Cherry was relieved, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he got up and continued to run, running past the princess, and Jing stopped and looked at Cherry's figure running away, muttering to himself: "No wonder she is so good to her." ”

She thought about it, turned around and wanted to go to Ningshou Palace to see the situation, the grandmothers couldn't stop it, so coincidentally saw Concubine Chun and her party approaching from a distance, and the grandmothers hurriedly said: "You see that there are more and more people, let's leave." ”

Seeing that the concubines were also gathering towards Ningshou Palace, He Jingcai was really bored, so he had to instruct the people around him: "Go and see what is going on, come back and tell me, don't say anything Ama Eniang doesn't let me know, I can't listen to it?" ”

On this side, Concubine Chun came with a few people to Huqin, and she didn't hurry or slow, and there were other people, such as Concubine Jia, who followed with such a good thing, Baoqin was originally worried that the master would be suspected or blamed by the Queen Mother when she came here, but Concubine Chun said: "As long as there is one person to see the excitement, there will be more and more people, and who knows who will take the first step at that time, even if the Queen Mother is angry, the law does not blame the public, she can't treat us all like this." It is not us who do the ugly things. ”

Baoqin is trembling, this matter involves many people inside and out, although those eunuchs who help will never miss half a word in order to protect themselves, after all, if they confess them, those people will not survive. And if she wanted to deceive the prince, Niangniang did not hesitate to let her mother's family work hard outside, for the status of the third elder brother, for her own status in the emperor's heart, the most cold and arrogant pure concubine in the eyes of the world, can do things the best. But I don't know if it was in the Old Summer Palace that the emperor broke her heart.

As more and more people gathered at the gate of the palace, Mama Hua came out to invite all the ladies to go back, but Jia Concubine was happy to watch the show, and said: "The matter of the six palaces, the sisters are duty-bound, why should Mama drive us away, what is really there, it is also a wake-up call for each of us." ”

Mama Hua was holding back her anger, no matter how decent she was, she couldn't openly contradict the concubines, she was in a stalemate, but when she saw the eunuch inside, she hurriedly told her: "Mama go in and persuade her, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will be tortured." ”

Mama Hua shouted in her heart, hurried back, and saw Concubine Yu crying: "Everyone in Shoukang Palace knows that Hongyan and I are very close, but they don't know what Hongyan says to me, she often asks me about Hongday, and I just said something casually, how did I know that she would have such thoughts." The Queen Mother, this is all the fault of Wei's promise, you must not blame Hongday, if the emperor knew, would he kill him? ”

How did the emperor treat his siblings back then, every time he killed and was banned, it was terrifying, so that Concubine Yu was always worried that the emperor would attack her son, she would rather Hongtian be a person who had no interest, where did she know that this kind of thing would happen in every possible way, she was already confused at the moment, and she only wanted to exonerate her son, and said nonsense: "The concubine begs you to choose a beautiful show girl for Hongday, but you only give an ordinary one, the child is not happy, and he will make a mistake, the Queen Mother, please forgive her." For the sake of our decades of sisterhood, forgive Hongday. ”

Hongtian couldn't stand his mother's words, and wanted to jump up to defend himself, but he didn't expect Wei Wei, who was kneeling on the side, to stand up and ask in front of the Queen Mother: "Concubine Yu, you are framing me by saying these words, do you think you will be fine with the prince?" If I confirm my sins, I will also sit on the sins of the prince and the prince, and now it is time to investigate, why did this happen? Concubine Yu, do you want to save your son, or do you want to trap your son? ”

The Queen Mother was already noisy and had a headache, seeing that Hongyan was so righteous and awe-inspiring, thinking that all the disasters were caused by her, but she was so upright and frank, it was incredible, she couldn't say too ugly things to Concubine Yu, and she was angry for a while, and scolded: "You don't have the qualifications to speak, who allows you to stand up, you still have the face to question others, you tell me, why do you have your business back?" ”

Hongyan felt that in front of her, both horizontal and vertical were dead, how many times had she dealt with the Queen Mother, as before, but now she was full of thoughts on the emperor, but she used such a dirty thing to frame her, and the Queen Mother was indiscriminate, the same as Concubine Yu.

Hongyan was transverse for a while, and responded: "Something happens in the palace every day, and people are in trouble every day, and the concubine is never the one who causes trouble." The Queen Mother didn't ask where the trouble began, and asked the concubines who were unjustly victimized in vain, what do you think the concubines can say? The concubine went to visit her father in the Internal Affairs Office today, and told the concubine that she had been promised, and she also told the emperor last night, and the emperor also knew. As for Concubine Yu's inexplicable words, if you kill the concubine, the concubine will not admit it. ”

The Queen Mother saw Hongyan move out of Concubine Shouqi and the emperor, poked at the most annoying place in her heart, and shouted loudly to take Hongyan down, it was useless for Hua Mama to come forward and say all the good things, begging Hongyan to kneel down and admit her mistake, she stood there deadly, even Hongyang was on the side, and she was dumbfounded.

He heard outside that the imperial brother favored a palace maid, who was the person who followed the imperial sister-in-law in the past, he knew that it was a beauty, but he didn't expect it to be so different, no wonder a romantic person like the imperial brother would be merciful for so long.

The two sides were deadlocked, the queen mother was angry again and again, and the people below did not dare to be disobedient anymore, so they went to bring the torture rod and clamp the stick, as if they were really going to be tortured, and the concubines who were watching outside were panicked.

Shu Guiren came to see the excitement with people, I didn't expect the matter to be so serious, Lu Guiren behind her was so frightened that she almost cried, she turned around and coaxed her not to cry, and suddenly saw a shoulder in the distance hurriedly coming, and couldn't help but say: "The concubine is here." ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, Concubine Shouqi, who had been recuperating in Shoukang Palace for a long time, had traveled all the way from the westernmost part of the Forbidden City to the easternmost side, not for Wei to agree, but for which one, the sighs did not stop for a while, and Concubine Chun stood behind the people, and frowned slightly.

At this moment, several eunuchs in the hall were stepping forward to pull the red face, and Mama Hua still dissuaded her, but the Queen Mother did not let go, and overheard the singing outside that Concubine Shouqi arrived, and the Queen Mother's face changed when she arrived.

Although the queen mother inherited the mandate of heaven to raise the emperor and was the supreme existence, Concubine Shouqi was also willing to live in Shoukang Palace with a group of people in order to give the queen mother. But if you really want to talk about dignity and humility, how can Kangxi's imperial concubine be easily neglected by the queen mother, and the current emperor is even more affectionate than his biological mother because he was raised under her knees when he was a child.

But the Queen Mother never expected that the old man would go out with illness for a Wei Hongyan.

The concubine's shoulders were directly carried into the inner hall of Ningshou Palace, and the queen mother led everyone to come forward to salute, and the concubine smiled faintly: "I have bad legs and feet, so I won't get up, I'm here to pick up Hongyan and go back, what's the matter, wait for you to come to Shoukang Palace to talk." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't swallow this breath, and said stiffly: "Wei promised to be suspected of seducing Hongday, the concubine is about to find out the facts, the concubine Niangniang is too old to worry, please go back to Shoukang Palace to rest, and when the matter has a result, the concubine must go to Shoukang Palace to explain to you in person." ”

When Concubine Shouqi saw the scene in the hall, Concubine Yu was crying embarrassed, and some torture instruments were scattered on the ground.

"Queen Mother, my ears are not good when I am old, I remember that you are not yet fifty years old, why are your ears not good?" Concubine Shouqi smiled slowly, "I just told you that I want to take Hongyan back, what are you telling me so much?" ”

"But the concubine ......"

"Do you want to wait for the emperor to come back and get Hongli's permission?" The concubine tsk, "Isn't Hongyan exactly what Hongli gave me, took care of me, served me, and let me train well?" ”

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and couldn't say a word.

The concubine said to Hongyan: "What are you doing in a daze, come with me." He glanced at Hongyang again, "Everyone is ascending outside the city, what are you doing in the palace, the emperor is coming back, why don't you go and pick up the driver, if you have anything to say, tell your brother clearly." ”

Hongtian glanced at the Queen Mother with disdain, stepped forward and said, "Imperial grandmother, grandson will send you back to Shoukang Palace." ”

The concubine only pulled Hongyan: "It's enough for me to have her, where should you go, I saw a lot of people gathered outside, this is the Double Ninth Festival, come to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, let's disperse, don't delay people's salutes." ”
