Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, the Queen said: "Since Concubine Jia is so warm-hearted, then I will hand over the matter of Concubine Xin's pregnancy to you, and you can only explain to the Queen Mother if there is anything, and you don't have to ask me." She even said to the emperor, "Concubine Xin is taken care of by the concubine, the affairs of the six palaces are still in charge of Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu, and the concubines will be lazy for another year. ”

Hongli said: "You have been the greatest toil for me to have children with the royal family, how can I blame you." And meditate and recuperate in Yikun Palace, and leave the affairs of the palace to Hongyan. ”

In the past, the emperor would shout his name in public, only Fucha An Yi, even if there was also Wei Hongyan, it was not easy to listen to it in front of so many people, An Yi had passed away, only Hongyan, but so far there is no one who can let the emperor shout his girlfriend name again.

Hongyan heard the emperor shouting herself, and she also instinctively raised her head, and inadvertently made eye contact with the queen mother, but fortunately, the old lady didn't have time to be angry with her existence, she was very dissatisfied and said: "Concubine Jia has three children under her knees, where does she get the energy to take care of Concubine Xin, Concubine Xin is the most taboo and noisy at the moment, and Concubine Jia's temperament is so flamboyant, it is really inappropriate." ”

Concubine Jia got up, still enchanting and charming, swayed to the emperor and the queen mother and said: "Queen Mother, even the eleventh elder brother dares to sleep alone at night, and he doesn't pester the concubines or nurses, do you say the concubines are busy?" turned to the emperor with a smile and a delicate face: "Your Majesty, the concubines are naturally not hard work in vain, if the concubines ensure the smooth delivery of the concubines, the boys and girls of this life can not be controlled, as long as it is safe, the emperor will give Yonghui the choice of Fujin, you said that you want to keep the children for a few more years, and now a few years have passed, the fourth elder brother is sixteen years old, and the concubines are looking forward to having a daughter-in-law to assist him." ”

The fourth elder brother under the table hurriedly got up and said to his mother: "The matter of the marriage of the son-in-law, the emperor Ama has his own opinion, how can E-niang ask for it like this?" ”

Hongli also smiled: "This is a good thing, you want to ask for it as a reward, you really live up to Yonghui's loyalty and honesty, you mother, it's time to let your sons worry." Pointing to Yonghui, "Your mother's temperament, it will be enough to bring your grandchildren in the future, you have children and grandchildren to raise by your side, don't send them to Qixiang Palace." ”

Concubine Jia knew that the emperor was not belittling her, but that she would say such things with affection, so she became more and more proud, and pushed her son, who had already surpassed her in appearance, to the emperor, and said happily: "Your Majesty, which family's children are worthy of Yonghui?" ”

The Queen Mother said in a muffled voice: "Yonghui's matter is not in a hurry, for a while, where can I find someone to match the fourth elder brother?" How can the prince's marriage be decided in a few words? ”

Concubine Jia Guifei was unceremonious and said: "The Empress Dowager can rest assured about the matter of Concubine Xin, if it is wrapped up in the concubine, there will never be a mistake." ”

The Queen Mother turned her face away, knowing that it was not what she used to be, and she could calm Concubine Jia with a few words. I saw that Concubine Jia was radiant, as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and said with a smile: "There was a banquet in the palace in the first year, and the concubines looked at it again and again, and they also found someone to calculate the eight characters of the birthday, and the emperor assigned the great-granddaughter of the thirteenth master's family to the concubine as a daughter-in-law." ”

"The great-granddaughter of the Thirteenth Master's family?" Hongli frowned slightly, there are so many children of the royal family, and when he suddenly mentioned the children of the thirteenth master's family, he still had an impression of his grandson's generation, and his great-grandson's generation was a little vague.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Concubine Shu muttered: "Has she turned out all the people who love Xinjueluo's family and read it once?" ”

The thirteenth master mentioned by Concubine Jia is the late Prince Yi Yunxiang, and now his seventh son Hongxiao inherits the prince, and everyone knows that the children of their family are right, where is the suitable great-granddaughter to be assigned to the fourth elder brother? Concubine Yu calculated carefully, and remembered a person, but she heard that Concubine Jia had already smiled and said: "The emperor doesn't remember, the second daughter of the thirteenth master was raised in the palace by the first emperor, and married a rich monk of the Ilgen Jue Luo clan, but unfortunately the princess died young, leaving a daughter, this daughter also married into the Ilgen Jue Luo clan, and gave birth to a little granddaughter who is as old as our Yonghui, and when the Chinese New Year this year, Prince Yi Fujin took it with him." ”

Everyone listened to it, but Concubine Jia also counted happily: "Princess Heshuo's mother-in-law, but the thirteenth master's concubine Fujin, the child has a noble background and a good appearance, and he is really a match for our Yonghui." ”

Today's family banquet, only the concubines and princesses are there, the children are happy to listen to it, the fourth elder brother can't hold his face, and the excuse is to retreat, the Buddha begged for a red face and nodded, and followed the eighth elder brother to make trouble with the fourth elder brother, the brothers and sisters went to frolic outside, the emperor looked happy in his heart, and actually nodded and said: "It's up to you, it's just that the marriage this year is too hasty, wait for the queen and the concubine to give birth, and the marriage will be completed for Yonghui in the spring of next year, first choose a house for Yonghui outside the palace, it's time to leave the palace and open a mansion." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." With tears in her eyes, Concubine Jia bowed to the emperor, returned to her seat triumphantly, hugged the eleventh elder brother, and said to herself: "E-niang will also choose a good daughter-in-law for Yongying in the future, a character like your fourth sister-in-law." ”

Although Concubine Jia is flamboyant, the fourth elder brother has always been likable, and it is a good thing for the prince to talk about marriage when he reaches the age of marriage, but no one cares about her, Concubine Shu also pushed Concubine Yu and said: "Sister, we Yongqi should also look for it." ”

Concubine Yu saw the tears in Concubine Jia's eyes, and she also moved her mother's heart, the child opened the Yajian Mansion and left the palace, it will be difficult to see each other again in the future, the years pass imperceptibly, the most ruthless is time, the most beautiful is time, after all, it is this day. She smiled faintly and shook her head.

"If this son also has to look for Yongqi, wouldn't it rob the scenery of Concubine Jia, she gave birth to these children, and every time she had other things to do and let her and the children be left out in the cold, I am afraid that I am looking forward to the elder brothers when they get married. Naturally, it is good to fulfill her, and when she marries her daughter-in-law, we will choose for Yongqi. Hongyan said on the side, "We Yongqi, naturally choose better." ”

Concubine Yu was relieved and said to the two: "Thanks to your support all the way, Yongqi and I can have today, with my past skills, how can I earn face for my son?" Unless ......" her voice was softer, "unless you are attached to the Queen Mother, but then Yongqi is too pitiful, and she can't even develop her current personality, I thought at the time, I'd rather be bitter than let the Queen Mother spoil the child." ”

Let's say that after Concubine Jia stepped down, the singing and dancing on the stage resumed, the queen was pregnant, and she didn't need any warm celebration with her personality, since she was taken away by the topic of the fourth elder brother's marriage, the queen would not mention it again, and then the matter of Concubine Xin was also pressed, and the Queen Mother didn't have time to fight for more, and the matter of taking care of Concubine Xin was decided, but people like Concubine Jia, how could she rest assured, but on such an occasion, the old lady was really not good to turn her face.

Concubine Xin sat alone in the Queen Mother, not daring to look at anyone and not daring to look at the Queen Mother, in early summer, others did not feel hot, but she tied a mat in her clothes, covering her belly with prickly heat, but in the eyes of everyone, it is natural for pregnant women to be afraid of heat, who knows that she has bitterness and can't say.

And when everything was taken care of by the queen before, the queen's indifference gave her a lot of space to hide the surrogate, but now Leng Buding has been replaced by Jia Guifei, and I don't know what she will do, the more Concubine Xin thinks about it, the more sad she becomes, and her face becomes pale. The Queen Mother finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "If Concubine Xin feels uncomfortable, go back, I don't need you to accompany the banquet, and my belly is getting bigger and bigger in the future, so don't come out to socialize." ”

Concubine Xin said yes, knowing that countless eyes were looking at her with bad intentions, she helped Huiyun to stand up slowly, for fear that the cushion tied to her stomach would show her feet, and walked carefully step by step, but she couldn't wait to leave everyone's sight immediately.

A few children outside the door had enough to play back to the table, and when they saw Concubine Xin coming out, they all honestly let it aside, and Concubine Xin didn't say anything, and left in a hurry. The children returned to their mothers separately, and when they saw the sweat on the Buddha's head and the bangs stuck together, they couldn't help frowning.

Concubine Yu gently wiped her sweat and said casually: "It's hot this day, I'm afraid it's hotter than last year, it is said that pregnant women are afraid of heat, Concubine Xin is not wearing too much, we are all wearing shoulders alone, she is thickly wrapped around her body, naturally it is not good to breathe." ”

Concubine Shu sneered: "Now it's something that the concubine should worry about, and my sister still cares about settling accounts with the Internal Affairs Office." ”

After the Duanyang banquet was dispersed, the emperor did not turn over the sign of which palace, and Hongyan was naturally not ready to take over, but the emperor came when he went to bed, but when he entered the door, he saw Buddha standing in the courtyard, and the little girl pounced on Ama as soon as she saw it, and she was soft and coquettish.

"What are you doing standing here at such a late hour?" Hongli asked distressedly, "E-Niang punished you?" ”

Buddha nodded suddenly: "E-niang said that the retainers were too naughty and unruly at the family banquet, and asked the retainers to reflect." ”

Hongli kissed his daughter's forehead and asked her to go back to sleep, and said: "In the future, Eniang will punish you, and you will let her ask Ama if she can be punished." As soon as he looked up, Hongyan stood under the eaves, looking at the father and daughter with a serious face, the daughter hid behind him, Hongli smiled, "It's late at night, let her sleep." ”

Hongyan turned around and went back, Hongli hurriedly let his daughter go, followed her in, and was disgusted: "You turned around and left when you saw me, you have no rules, how to teach your daughter." ”

"I didn't drink much tonight, and the concubine asked the cherries to make the decanting soup." Hongyan couldn't help but say that he sat down according to the emperor, "Since you're here, just rest well, and if you want to be happy, go elsewhere." ”

The emperor smiled with color, and said solemnly: "There is something important to discuss with you, today Concubine Jia mentioned the thirteenth master, but I think of the fourteenth master." ”

Hongyan knew that the fourteenth master, that was the uncle of the emperor's in-laws, and the brother of the first emperor's mother, Yongzheng Dynasty was under house arrest for more than ten years, and the Qianlong Dynasty regained his freedom. For so many years, the emperor has naturally raised his uncle with glory and wealth, but he can't bear the passage of time, she said: "The concubine heard that the fourteenth master is seriously ill. ”
