Hongyan smiled helplessly: "Naturally, you have been frank for a long time, but how can I respond to you?" ”

Ruyin smiled: "If my sister shouldn't come, she will coax me, like Fu Heng, coax me everywhere and let me everywhere, hold me in the palm of her hand and hide it in her eyes, so that Nalan Ruyin can go to heaven and earth." ”

"You're here to show off?" Hongyan pushed her hand away and said, "I'll invite Sister Shufei to come, you can show off to her." ”

However, pregnant women are difficult, where can they be bluffed by being coquettish and stupid, Ruyin is also in her thirties, but she can be favored by Fu Heng, and she is still a delicate little woman in the past. On this day, when Hongyan sent someone to send her out of the Old Summer Palace, Fu Heng had personally waited outside, for many years, this situation has never changed, and only newcomers will find it strange, and most people are used to it.

Fu Heng accompanied Ruyin in the carriage, let his wife snuggle in his arms, frowning all the time, he didn't know what he was nervous about, the carriage was a little bumpy, he was tense, Ruyin only smiled sweetly, when the carriage finally stopped, Fu Heng couldn't help but say: "After this time, don't go out again." ”

Ruyin pouted and was unhappy, lazily carried out of the carriage by her husband, Fu Heng said in her ear: "It's all mother-in-law's people, so it's not a good look." ”

"Don't dislike me, I'm old now, if you abandon me, there will be nowhere to go." Ruyin said pitifully to Fu Heng, until Fu Heng was so embarrassed that her face turned red, but fortunately, no one else heard her, and reprimanded her softly, "If you mess around again, I really ignore you." ”

Ruyin stood firm and smiled softly at her husband: "Are you willing?" ”

The servants at home came out to greet him, and he couldn't greet me anymore, but Ruyin insisted on taking his hand and going to the door. Fu Heng has always been helpless with Ruyin, but when he sees her happy, he often just dislikes a few words, and he still depends on her for everything. I thought that as a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, Ruyin would be stable, but people said that the more this is the case, it can be seen that there are fewer and fewer days to be coquettish, and now it is even more necessary to get worse.

However, when she feels that her wife wants to mess around, she can often calm down and talk about serious things, and when she returns to the room at this time, when there are only husband and wife, she does not entangle and coquetry, and seriously talks about Hongyan's side, and sighs: "My sister is really worried about our family, and Demin of the second master's family is the twelfth elder brother's companion, and she is worried that if something really happens, it will not be good for the children." ”

Fu Heng's expression was solemn: "In the final analysis, we were too merciful at the beginning, and we let this matter be entangled to this day, and we also involved the concubine Niangniang." So this time, don't be soft-hearted, do you have to drag it out any longer, and let the children get involved one day? ”

"That's what I said to my sister." Ruyin said, "You should be careful these days, in case you really provoke the second room, cousins, nephews and nieces, we can't ignore it." ”

Fu Heng was relieved: "I am here for the outside affairs, and the affairs of the family depend on you after all, the sisters-in-law and the sisters are all old, and they can't manage the affairs of the family." ”

Ruyin waved her hand: "If the second master's family wants to help each other, I don't have to worry about it, but I don't want to take care of the affairs of a big family, you must not promise anything for me." ”

Fu Heng said with a smile: "It's just that, where am I willing to give you hard work, I have already been separated, and they may not be willing for us to go back and intervene, but we will help when we are in need, it is all the love of brothers and sisters." ”

The fetus in the womb seemed to move, Ruyin was a little uncomfortable, Fu Heng hurriedly asked her to lie down and rest, but Ruyin took the opportunity to peck her husband on the cheek, Fu Heng only said helplessly: "Be obedient, take care of the fetus, give birth smoothly, I can rest assured when you are well." ”

Ruyin asked in a low voice: "Ten or twenty years later, do you still love me like this?" ”

Fu Heng nodded, and when he saw that his wife didn't follow, he had to answer: "I like it all my life, I like it all my life, so you must not have anything to do, don't go out again, this bumpy road back, my heart has been hanging." ”

But Ruyin asked: "If I don't go, what will happen to my sister?" ”

Her heart was pounding, this sentence was asked abruptly, it was hard to imagine that the husband and wife had maintained that secret for twenty years, and it would still make Ruyin have the initial nervousness. And such a lasting mood also proves Fu Heng's loyalty to her, her sister's frankness towards her, and there is no ambiguity between the three of them.

Sure enough, Fu Heng still smiled and said: "I can't really do it without you, but then I'll leave it to me, if Niangniang has any action in the palace, I will stabilize it outside, no matter what, don't let those old things bully Niangniang, the Wei family is powerless, but ......"

"We are in Fucha, and the power is leaning towards the opposition." Ruyin deliberately followed this sentence, and sure enough, her husband slapped his forehead and reproached, "I have no mouth to hide, I want the children to listen." ”

Fu Heng personally took off her coat for Ruyin, let her rest quietly, and remembered one thing before leaving: "You saw your daughter-in-law and told him that the fifth elder brother has eyebrows on the side of Fujin, and the emperor intends to choose Suo Yuluo, the daughter of the left capital Yushi Guanbao, you can ask your daughter-in-law to tell Fu Ling'an, and let Fu Ling'an reveal it to the fifth elder brother, so that he can be prepared." ”

Ruyin then remembered the new things she heard in the Old Summer Palace, and said with a smile: "Ebi's wife led her youngest daughter to beg Qingque, and wanted to marry her daughter to the fifth elder brother, and said that she didn't care about her daughter being small, and begged Qingque to be fulfilled." Sanfujin is a good person, and he came to ask Concubine Yu to let the emperor decree that no one from the Ebi family should be allowed to approach Qingque. ”

Fu Heng also said: "The abuse of Qingque by Ebi's wife and concubine is not over, Ebi was not right-minded at the beginning, and he had some intentions to adopt this child, and he didn't want his sister to die young, so he didn't dare to speak out anymore, so he made this child suffer so much." Those are the children that my sister has held, they must be blessed, how can they be bullied for a lifetime. ”

Ruyin sighed in her heart: It would be great if Sister An Yi was still there, now this queen is unreliable after all, but then again, if Sister is still here, Wei Hongyan will not be the current Wei Hongyan, which is also an indisputable fact. It is creation that makes people, and everything has its own fixed number.

The days turn slowly, and then enter the month of Laba, Laba is also an important day in the palace, everywhere from the seventh day of the first month to prepare, even if the palace mothers, princesses, princesses and princesses do not lack a mouthful of porridge to eat, but also in Laba on this day to drink a bowl of Laba porridge to be auspicious.

But this year, Concubine Ying is in charge, and she seems to feel that she wastes countless amounts of money everywhere for a bowl of porridge every year, so she will take her own initiative this year to reduce the porridge, so that each palace can eat a bite, saving a lot of silver.

Concubine Ying was complacent, thinking that she had done something amazing, but the Queen Mother Ning Chuntang wanted Laba porridge to reward people, but she was overstretched, the Queen Mother didn't care about these things, but she inadvertently asked casually this year, only to know that such a trivial matter was not considered, and she couldn't help but be angry and called Concubine Ying to reprimand.

On weekdays, the queen never cares about idle things, if the queen mother doesn't look for her, she can not go out of the mountain house for a few days, but today the middle palace heard that Concubine Ying was reprimanded, and she came all the way in a sedan chair, and she didn't even bring the Laba porridge to honor the queen mother, so she came over.

It didn't take long for Ning Chuntang to spread the news that the concubines of the six palaces would all go to the Queen Mother. Concubine Shu and the others walked together after the spring reunion of the Heaven and Earth Family, and she said impatiently: "Didn't you say that you don't need to be grateful in the morning, why are you tossing people at this time." ”

Complaining is complaining, no one can be an exception, from the queen down to stand in front of the queen mother, but it has not been so grand in recent times.

Under the queen, it is Hongyan, for various reasons, Hongyan has been standing in this position for many years, but now although the position remains the same, her own status has changed a lot, and now Wei Hongyan is already in the position of the most intolerable concubine of the Queen Mother.

Back then, in order to support Queen Fucha, the Queen Mother suppressed the noble concubine everywhere, forcing the noble concubine to die of depression, but now the queen mother really doesn't like Hongyan, no matter what position she is, it's the same, it's a different thing, the queen mother has no intention of supporting the current queen, so Mama Hua said that the queen mother has changed, and she doesn't remember what she was going to do at the beginning.

The Queen Mother lazily spoke: "Today is a good day, I don't want to say anything unpleasant, but the rules in the palace are getting looser and looser, and the royal dignity is going to be tossed by you. ”

Everyone confessed, and the Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "It's useless to say, but it's good to show me, the Qing royal family can't eat a mouthful of porridge, what do you want?" ”

Everyone was silent, Concubine Ying almost tore the silk handkerchief in her hand, and suddenly heard the queen speak: "In the end, Concubine Ying is young and unstable, and now Concubine Ling gives birth safely, and the concubine thinks that the affairs in the palace are better handed over to Concubine Ling." ”

The disdain in the queen mother's eyes overflowed, and she sneered: "There are so many children under the concubine's knees, the queen thinks she is not tired enough." The old lady's eyes searched the crowd and couldn't help asking, "Where is Concubine Xin?" ”

On the side, Mama Hua looked nervous, she hoped that the Queen Mother would not interfere in this matter, but she didn't wait for the queen to answer, but she saw that Concubine Ling took a step forward.

"The queen mother, the concubine is having something to say, the concubine has been recuperating in the Xiushan house for more than ten days, according to the imperial doctor, the condition has not improved, the concubine feels that it is really not suitable to put the sick person next to the queen, and the emperor is also very dissatisfied with this." Hongyan was not shocked on his face, as if he was talking about ordinary things, and looked at the Queen Mother without fear and said, "The concubine is going to send Concubine Xin back to the Forbidden City to recuperate today, and I am here to inform you." ”

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows slightly, and before she could speak, she saw Empress Huo Ran turn around, she and Concubine Ling looked at each other, as if they were exploring what each other was thinking, and the Empress said: "Concubine Xin's condition has improved, and she will be fully recovered before Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is no need to send the teacher back to the Forbidden City, this matter the palace remembers to send someone to inform the concubine." ”

For a while, it didn't matter what Laba porridge was, after so many years, it was the first time that everyone saw a conflict between the queen and Concubine Ling, and the queen's unconditional support for Yanxi Palace no longer existed.
