The queen bowed her head and said: "If it is burned, let Hua Rong pass the word." ”

Concubine Xian got up, and when she saw the trembling palace maid on the ground, she begged the queen: "It's also that the concubine didn't take over carelessly, and in the moon, she also begged the mother to bypass this child." ”

The queen said: "If you are okay, naturally there will be nothing to do with her, go back quickly, there are many people coming and going today, don't be rude in front of others." ”

After saying this, Concubine Xian bowed and retired, and the ladies got up to see her off and took her away, and the third lady sat down and said, "Have you seen the little uncle recently?" ”

The third sister-in-law often called Fu Heng the little uncle, the queen shook her head, thinking that it was the third sister-in-law who was making a fuss, and she didn't want the eldest lady to follow the words of the younger brother and sister: "If the mother can see her brother, I will see him persuade you to take care of it, my brother doesn't know what's wrong, and his servants are all talking about it, day and night for the emperor to do errands, don't eat well and can't sleep well, we see each other every few days, just lose weight, it's very distressing to look at." We all said what we had to say, and it didn't work. ”

It is rare that the sisters-in-law in the family still care about the quality of the little master, they all say that the eldest brother is like a father, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the eldest lady is so good.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" The eldest lady saw that the queen was distracted and had to remind her.

The queen replied: "There is a family banquet in the Xiaonian Palace, and the emperor said that he just wants the family to sit close and talk well, and the families of the concubines and concubines are all invited, not to mention you." On the day of the new year, I saw him and said, "Isn't he very busy now, if he is too busy, I have to see him and disturb him, but I don't want to listen to me." ”

The queen made a perfect excuse for herself, but a few months passed, and even in front of the emperor, she rarely mentioned this matter, and the more she hid it, the more she cared, and at this moment, the queen could not bear it if her family teased her a little.

She thought that she could forget this mistake and forget the guilt of being sorry for everyone, but she still had to face it. Hongli said that he would not punish himself, because the entanglement in her heart in the years to come was enough to torment her, and now everything the emperor said has come true, and the only thing that the queen is happy about is that she has never mentioned Fu Heng and Hongyan to her husband.

And said Shoukang Palace, is located in the west of Cining Palace palace, Cining Palace since the death of Empress Wen of Xiaozhuang, Kangxi Ye will several palaces and pavilions as they are demolished and built in the mausoleum of the grandmother, after the Yongzheng Emperor to the present, has been renovated. But no one dares to trespass the dignity of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, and the current Queen Mother does not dare to move in, and it is still empty. Only the Shoukang Palace in the west, where the old people of two generations of emperors lived, this place is clear and quiet, and the concubines have nothing to do and don't care about coming to bother without permission, and almost no one will come at ordinary times.

Hongyan was nervous when she first arrived to deliver a few plates of dim sum, but now she can come and go freely near Shoukang Palace, and she has never met anyone.

At this time, the Laba porridge in the Shoukang Palace, served the concubines and concubines to enjoy, and the rest was rewarded to the palace maids and eunuchs, everyone was not greedy for a mouthful of porridge to eat, but it was auspicious for the festival, and when the concubine rewarded Hongyan, she instructed: "If there are more, send them to the father-in-law, his little cherry is a greedy girl." ”

Hongyan was also thinking about the cherry, waiting for the concubine to rest, so she brought Laba porridge to her father-in-law's small courtyard, but as soon as she entered the door, she heard the beating and scolding, she quickly closed the door, and then walked inside, the petite figure of the cherry came out, saw Hongyan here, like a savior, hid behind her skirt and cried: "Sister Hongyan save me, that old thing is going to kill me." ”

Hongyan covered her mouth and sneered: "You are talking nonsense again, it's like this, it's not big or small, and you should be beaten." ”

Cherry rubbed her ass and coquettishly teased with tears in her eyes: "Sister help me." ”

At this time, his father-in-law was holding a feather duster in his hand, and he chased it out and scolded: "Little rabbit, where did you go?" ”

Hongyan stepped forward with a smile: "Father-in-law, what day is today, it's not good for you to be like this, you really want to fight, and you have to wait for the New Year." She took the feather duster from her father-in-law's hand with one hand, and Cherry Eye rushed up and grabbed it quickly, ran away with a smoke, and left a sentence: "I should have thrown this thing away, I'll throw it away." ”

Hongyan was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly with his father-in-law: "Look at it, the little beast who can't listen to it, you hurt her in vain." ”

Hongyan helped his father-in-law into the door and said, "It's not that my father-in-law feels sorry for the cherries, it's all your own pet." ”

My father-in-law was worried: "No matter how old she is, she will either be sent out to match someone, but I won't see her in the future, and I can't bear it." If you stay in the palace on an errand, Shoukang Palace is a good place to go, but the concubines are all old, and they and I are gone, so who is this child entrusted to. ”

Little Cherry snorted on the door: "Husband, you are really troublesome, you just wait for me to give you a pension, what do I do in the future?" ”

Hongyan beckoned and said, "Come and kowtow to your father-in-law and admit your mistake, what's wrong with you?" This is the laba porridge that the concubine gave to her mother, go and serve a bowl to her father-in-law. ”

Cherry is a smart and obedient child, but she is very naughty, she hurriedly stepped forward to take the food box, and shouted in her mouth: "That's it, I'll wait for the porridge that the concubine gave me to eat, which one wants to eat the one sent by Ningshou Palace, I don't like the queen mother at all." ”

Hongyan and Father-in-law glanced at each other, and Father-in-law sighed: "That's just saying these things, this little girl doesn't know where to learn the bad problem, dare to talk about this kind of thing." ”

"Isn't it that I talk to my father-in-law on weekdays, so that she can hear a sentence and a half." Hongyan soothed, "Father-in-law, don't worry, the slave and maid will talk to her." ”

Cherry quickly sent a bowl of porridge, and sat on the side to eat, Xu was in pain just now, and rubbed her buttocks when she sat on the stool, Hongyan came over to be with her, and rubbed it for her distressedly, Little Cherry was coquettish, and she loved Sister Hongyan very much.

The sisters said well, and their father-in-law suddenly asked Hongyan: "In the first month of the lunar month, there are countless large and small family banquets and state banquets, and the concubines will occasionally attend, do you go with the concubine to serve." ”

Hongyan responded calmly: "I told the concubine and Yuzhi early that more things are better than less, and the slaves and maids will not go." ”

He father-in-law filled the tobacco himself, lit it leisurely, spit out soft white smoke, and sighed: "Also, why bother, whoever you see, whoever you see, will not be happy." ”

Hongyan lowered her eyes, although it has been a long time, and no one in the palace seems to be worried about her anymore, but as long as she still exists, she can hook everyone's hearts, and it is not easy for her to live in peace now.

He father-in-law said suddenly: "I'll find someone in a few days to let you meet your father." ”

Hongyan stood up and was very grateful: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

After that, Hongyan really met with his father, and he and his father-in-law had great powers in the palace, but now he is content with a peaceful life, but if he wants to do anything, he can move his fingers casually, and the head of Wu of the Heart Cultivation Hall can saddle up and run for him. Hongyan wants to see Wei Qingtai, it's really nothing, just because Hongyan's identity is embarrassing now, in case it is known by others, gossip is not good.

Fortunately, the father and daughter met and separated safely, no one alarmed anyone and no one noticed, but the concubine saw Hongyan's eyes were red and asked her what was wrong, Hongyan told her truthfully, and the concubine also smiled: "This child is too sincere, you said that the wind and sand are blind, I can't disbelieve you." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was a small year, the emperor held a banquet in Ningshou Palace, and several concubines were taken to enjoy the banquet early, at that time, it was the concubine and the concubine who came to Shoukang Palace to greet her, and the concubine had the heart to pay attention to the people around the concubine, but she couldn't see the red face, and her curiosity was not satisfied.

After the concubine left, there was almost no one in Shoukang Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids were boring with the old masters on weekdays, and today they almost all went to join in the fun. She hadn't felt completely alone for a long time, so she kicked away the snow on the steps, and sat alone in the courtyard with the stove in her arms, staring blankly at the starry sky.

Time passes day by day, Hongyan is no longer so sad and sad, Mama Yuzhi not only asks her to serve Concubine Shouqi now, but also often asks Concubine Wen Hui and even Concubine Yu of the first emperor to show her face on weekdays, saying that if she really stays here for the rest of her life in the future, but the concubine is old and will leave sooner or later, then she can go to other concubines to continue on errands, and now she likes a few concubines, and she can have a place to stay in the future.

When I met Ama that day, the father and daughter were just weeping and speechless, and it took a long time for Wei Qingtai to say: "You are in the palace, you take care of yourself, everything is fine at home, don't worry about it, we are naturally better when you are well." ”

Thinking about it at this moment, Hongyan couldn't help but have tears in the corners of her eyes, she raised her hand and hurriedly wiped it away, and the door of Shoukang Palace suddenly opened. Hongyan immediately stood up with the hand stove and wanted to hide in the palace, but saw a little eunuch running up and calling her: "Is it a Wei official woman?" Is that you? ”

Hongyan had to stop and responded timidly: "It's me." ”

At the family banquet in Ningshou Palace, singing and dancing were staggered, and the Queen Mother was praising the concubine: "Concubine Xian is usually quiet and young, but I didn't expect to be very smart and capable in doing things, and the children have gradually experienced it, and we can all sit back and relax." ”

Concubine Shouqi looked at the beautiful concubine, squinted and smiled: "This kid has always been excellent." ”

The Queen Mother said: "There are newcomers in the draft next year, and I hope that the concubine will be able to teach them more for the emperor when the time comes." ”

These kind words, just for the sake of the good looks on the face, no one will take it seriously, just mention the draft, the seat can't help but be overshadowed, just the pot in the imperial dining room, the palace is hot, but seeing that the queen got up and left the table not long after, it must be to go to the side hall to rest, and soon someone from Changchun Palace came to the banquet to invite, and said behind Fucha Fu Heng: "My lord, Niangniang, please go to the side hall to see." ”

Fu Hengjian's eyebrows trembled slightly, he drank the wine in the cup on his back, and then got up and left with the man.
