Hongyan gradually calmed down, withdrew from the emperor's arms and stood up straight, Hongli wanted to reach out to wipe away her tears, but Hongyan took a step back, and a faint smile appeared on her haggard face, which was the stability that had been precipitated in Yingtai over the years: "Let the emperor worry, the concubine should not be like this, no matter how many days are left, the concubine will serve the concubine wholeheartedly, so as to live up to the concubine's distress for the concubine." ”

Every time he sees each other after a long absence, Hongli will feel that Hongyan doesn't seem to have changed and seems to have changed something, he remembers that Hongyan said that he wants to be a woman who is truly worthy of himself. Hongli has always felt that for a man, but also for the emperor, he should shelter the woman he loves, and he didn't even expect the queen to bear anything side by side with him, he thought it was all his responsibility.

But that was the idea of the past, and now that he is the eighth year of being the emperor, he finally slowly awakens to the support he needs behind the monarch, which also makes him understand and be surprised by the growth of Hongyan at the moment, she is not just from a young and ignorant little girl to a mature and perfect woman, she is working hard to become the weight of her life.

"Don't hide when you're sad, I'm afraid I won't find you." Hongli finally took off his big hat, wrapped it warmly around Hongyan, and said distressedly, "I can only see you laughing, do you understand?" ”

Hongyan bowed his head, worried that the emperor would catch a cold when he took off the big hat, so he urged him to go back quickly, Hongli took her hand and returned to Qingyun Hall together, the concubine saw them both returning, so she smiled a little, but still persuaded Hongli: "The emperor should focus on state affairs, I am fine here, today's Lantern Festival, the emperor will go back quickly." ”

"Imperial grandmother, grandson will come to see you tomorrow." Hongli saw that the concubine was stubborn, and he didn't dare to force it anymore, so he was about to leave after saluting. Hongyan went all the way to the door, put the big coat he had just worn on his body for him, raised his hand to tie the belt, because he had not rested for several days and days to take care of the concubine, he was a little dizzy for a while, and he almost fell down with his feet.

Hongli quickly hugged her, his brows were deeply locked, and when he saw that the emperor was angry, he smiled hard, "Your Majesty, the concubine is fine." She broke free from the emperor's arms and stood steadily, with a thousand words in her heart at this moment, but she didn't know which sentence to say in order for the emperor to leave with peace of mind.

Hongli still knew her intentions and said, "I'm going back to the palace, but when I come back tomorrow, you can't do this again, otherwise I ......"

Hongyan was immediately relieved, and smiled: "The concubine knows, the emperor should start driving quickly." ”

After a few days, the emperor drove to Yingtai every morning, but each time he stayed for less than an hour or two before returning to the Forbidden City, and so on for several days, the concubine was weak but in good spirits, and still declined the request of the queen mother and the queen and the concubines of the six palaces to visit, and only wished to recuperate quietly in Yingtai. Fortunately, his health has improved, Hongli is a little more at ease, and after the first month, the affairs of the court have become busy again, and the concubine persuaded the emperor not to go back and forth between the two places every day, which will only increase the hardship.

And for more than half a month, the emperor went to Yingtai every day, except for the two times he came quietly before, in the eyes of others and even the queen mother, they were all together with Wei Hongyan for more than two years. This long-forgotten beauty has once again become the topic of the Sixth House.

The Queen Mother sent Mama Hua to privately inquire about Hongyan's current situation, and when she learned that she was managing all affairs in Yingtai, she couldn't help but feel that it was not in accordance with the rules, but Mama Hua persuaded her: "Since it is the meaning of the concubine, you must not show your face." ”

"I didn't take it away but moved to Yingtai, and I knew that sooner or later I would come back." The Queen Mother sighed lightly, "If everything is peaceful after she comes back, and she can really share a share of An Yi's burden, I am also happy to see that the emperor has caring people around him." I'm afraid that she is full of right and wrong, and even Hongtian was provoked at the beginning, but now she deserves to panic when she thinks about it. ”

"That time, Wei promised and the prince were framed." Hua Mama said.

The Queen Mother shook her head: "That's what I'm afraid of, she is indeed innocent, but now in the eighth year of Qianlong, why is this strange thing all on her?" Could it be that this child's personality is different? ”

Hua Mama thought about it in her heart, but she couldn't say it, she just persuaded hard: "In the past few years, the emperor has not gone along with your wishes, you are worried about the emperor's heirs, the emperor is wet with rain and dew in the harem for a while, but the mother who sent the child does not care for it for a while, and she can't complain about the emperor." The slave can see that the emperor really cares about you, and if you can have a good face for Wei Wei, the emperor must be happy. This time, Wei promised that if you return, even if you don't wait to see you, don't care about anything, what's the matter, the emperor can control the whole world, can't he control a Forbidden City? ”

The Queen Mother sank her heart, as if she had experienced a trade-off, and sighed in the end: "More than two years ago, she stood here upright to refute my words, even if she said that she wanted to be executed, she was unwavering and afraid, I knew that this child was not simple, there were so many people around Hongli, she was still the first." That's it, if I come back this time, I will try not to interfere in anything, as long as she doesn't get proud and carried away, and doesn't think that the emperor likes her and she can climb the sky, then I don't care about anything. ”

I don't know if it was because of such a wish, the Queen Mother's tolerance was favored by God, and she waited for two years since the fifth elder brother Yongqi, and the emperor finally added another heir. At the end of March, there was good news from Xianfu Palace, Concubine Chun was pregnant, for the Queen Mother, even if she didn't like Concubine Chun very much, at least it meant that the emperor's body was fine, but the harem concubines had been absent in the past two years.

Let's say that Concubine Chun already has a third elder brother under her knees, she herself knows poetry and books, and teaches with her heart, the third elder brother is now eight years old, and she has made great achievements in writing poems and articles. Concubine Chun is pregnant again, and if she is a son after October, her status in the harem can be imagined.

It was the day after the news came out, Ruyin went to Yingtai to visit the concubine, before because the emperor went back and forth every day, Ruyin was inconvenient to come, and then Fu Ling'an fell ill, she was trapped at home to take care of her son, and she was not idle until March. has been here several times, and today again, the concubine was worried that she would delay the family's affairs because of this, but Ruyin said that even the queen acquiesced to her to accompany the concubine more, and the right was to replace the queen to fulfill her filial piety.

The concubine smiled: "Speaking of the queen, I want to see her recently, Ruyin, when you go back today, you will pass a word for me, saying that I want to see the queen." ”

When the concubine rested and they withdrew, Mama Yuzhi stepped forward and said, "Concubine Chun is pregnant, and the concubine has prepared something to reward her here. ”

Ruyin agreed, and then followed Hongyan to the small kitchen to boil soup and medicine, and saw that Hongyan only took care of a few medicinal materials that calmed the nerves and replenished qi, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you take those medicines a few days ago?" ”

Hongyan shook his head: "After the emperor discussed with the imperial doctor, he decided not to use fierce medicine for the concubine to continue her life. Now drink some soothing and nourishing the spirit, and you can still eat some meals, but I hope that the last days can be peaceful. ”

Ruyin has come frequently these days, and she can take a hand, and Hongyan can rest, and her complexion is much better than before. But when Ruyin saw her today, she felt that the person in front of her obviously had something on her mind, and when she thought that Concubine Fang Cai proposed to see the queen, she asked softly: "Are you going to see the queen, my sister is worried?" ”

Hongyan shook his head, seeing that there were no outsiders in the small kitchen, he thought about it and said to Ruyin: "I heard that Concubine Chun is happy, and I suddenly thought about what kind of person I am to the emperor." I was a little worried about the future I was looking forward to. ”

Ruyin is also a person who is deeply in love, not to mention that her husband still hides the one in front of her in his heart, such a sense of gain and loss is used to her, in fact, there is no other reason, only one: "Because my sister cares about the emperor too much, if my sister has no affection for the emperor or has faded in the past two years, the pure concubine has happy things, and it will not affect you at all." If the maid in the house is now taken by Fu Heng and takes a fancy to take the house, I will probably hide in Yingtai and cry to you. My sister is jealous, which shows that my sister has the emperor in her heart. ”

"But I'm just a promise, I can't have such a big heart, I think about it when I'm here, and I can't see or touch it." Hongyan said, "Now that the day of returning to the palace is getting closer and closer, the concubine always says that she is not my dependence, but in the past few years, I have really attached myself to her, and I have to walk by myself in the future, and I am very bottomless." I have no enthusiasm and ambition, but I ...... in the Forbidden City."

Ruyin said: "If you want to become a big tree, don't fight with the grass, sister, don't care about those concubines of the six palaces." Although I didn't enter the palace, I learned the skills to prepare for entering the palace in the Shilang Mansion, and I understood since I was a child that if I want to gain a firm foothold there and live well, the only way to make myself strong is to go. My sister is just a promise now, and I can't say for sure in the future, the emperor's own grandmother was just a palace maid back then, but now Aixin Jueluo's children and grandchildren are all in her blood. Empress Xiao Gongren may not have expected that there would be today, she must have lived the days in front of her day by day. ”

"Have you also learned these truths?" Hongyan asked with a smile, and Ruyin's words made her feel more comfortable.

Ruyin smiled: "She is her daughter-in-law, no one dares to do anything to her if she doesn't study hard, anyway, I wrote it down, and I don't know how much she remembered, looking at her current appearance, she must have forgotten it completely." As for me, do you still have personal experience, sister, do you know how I waited for Fu Heng to marry me, from spring to autumn, how did that period of time pass? I said to myself every day, if I don't live today, how can I come tomorrow, maybe he will come to marry me tomorrow, I can only get him if I live well. ”

Now recalling those days, Ruyin has long understood that Fu Heng hid outside Beijing and did not return for a long time, so as to escape the wedding, because there was someone else in his heart, although it would hurt her heart, but now she is happy. If you have to dig out what your husband thinks in her heart, she will only torture both of them, Fu Heng treats her wholeheartedly, and she is not ambiguous with Hongyan, she Nalan Ruyin is the person that everyone envies now, and she should guard the happiness in front of her.

Hongyan heard these words, and also understood that Fu Heng's resistance was because of herself, although it was not her fault, but how could she not feel guilty if Ruyin was so good, but at this moment she could only say: "In the future, we will live better, not for anything else, just for you to have Lord Fucha in your heart, and I have the emperor in my heart." ”

Ruyin saw Hongyan stretching her brows, and she was also happy, and then reminded Hongyan: "If it's fast, the queen will come tomorrow, my sister must be prepared, then you will have to go back to the Forbidden City sooner or later." ”
