On this day, Hongli returned from the shooting range, and went straight to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, the emperor closed the door and said endlessly, Qianya and Hongyan were idle, so they took the South China Sea tribute fruit rewarded by the emperor to the backyard to eat. Hongyan slowly told Qianya about today's events, and Qianya listened and thought for a long time, but said: "I think you may not be good according to the emperor's words." ”

Hongyan looked at her, and Qianya said again: "But it's not bad now, I can't tell what is right here." ”

"Sister, do you think that if the mother doesn't know that the emperor cares about the things given by the pure concubine, she won't be jealous and unhappy?" Hongyan asked, in fact, she had thought of these words before.

"But you have to be loyal to your mother." Qianya shook her head, confused by herself, "This errand is really not good, I admire Baozhen more and more now, she has been by her mother's side for more than ten years." ”

"I don't think the mother will tell her these truthful words." Hongyan was a little proud.

"That's not it, Niangniang really loves you, even the princess is jealous." The two ate the fruit, went to wash their hands and clean up, and then returned to wait outside the palace gate, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the queen to ask for tea.

Qianya entered the door with tea, and saw the emperor and queen standing side by side at the table, making a painting together, the beauty of Luan Feng and Ming, she turned around and went out and told Hongyan. But Hongyan refused to go in to serve, and she hid when the holy driver came just now, at least today, she didn't dare to look at the emperor again.

In the days that followed, the Old Summer Palace was peaceful, and the queen was not in a bad mood, until five or six days later, when the moon letter came, she couldn't hide a little disappointment on her face, which made Hongyan feel distressed.

She knew that the mother came to the monthly letter, which meant that the previous entanglement with the emperor could not be exchanged for God's gift, and it also meant that the queen had to look forward to it again, and what she was waiting for after the expectation was very likely to be disappointed again, so tormenting people again and again.

Fortunately, the queen herself can see it, now that she has no son, she is still heartbroken, but she does have a lot less burden on her shoulders, she has not purely enjoyed the affection between husband and wife for a long time, and without the bond of the imperial heir, they seem to have returned to the original time.

But such news is a complete disappointment for the queen mother, the queen has not given birth for seven or eight years, it was rumored that she had contraception for a time, and now the hope of this month and month has failed, she is even more convinced that the queen will have no heirs, which means that the women of the harem will fight openly and secretly for their sons to inherit the unification in the future. If there are jokes, if the harem is restless, how can she be worthy of the entrustment of the first emperor and the filial piety queen, An Yi used to be her greatest relief, but now it has become the biggest disappointment.

In the blink of an eye, it was April, in the late spring and early summer, the Internal Affairs Office added new clothes for the palaces, and Hongyan, these decent palace maids, would also put on new clothes, that day Wei Qingtai happened to go to the Old Summer Palace on an errand with the public, or the queen asked about the people of the Internal Affairs Office, only to know that her father was coming, so she let Hongyan go to see it, although Hongyan repeatedly refused, she did not dare to disobey the queen's wishes.

Hongyan brought the things she saved and asked her father to take them home to her mother, although it was not uncommon that there was nothing lacking at home, but this was earned by her daughter herself, and Wei Qingtai still accepted it. When the father and daughter saw each other, they still told each other to take care of themselves, Wei Qingtai took the trouble to say: "You are now equivalent to being on an errand in front of the emperor, but you must be careful." ”

Although she felt that her father was long-winded, her family was always happy to see each other, and she listened patiently until they parted, and Ama suddenly said: "Girl, you have grown taller and more beautiful, like your mother." ”

Hongyan touched his cheek and said abruptly: "Amma, don't talk nonsense, don't you always say that I am like you?" ”

Having said that, how can any girl not want to be beautiful, and Hongyan knows that she is good-looking, but at her age, she is at most pleasing to the eye and delicate, and the real beauty of a woman's family should be like the queen's mother. Whether it is her face and figure, or her attitude and posture towards others, Hongyan often thinks that if the queen is the phoenix among people, it will be difficult to find a second woman in this world who is so flawless.

She went to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion in a very good mood, wearing a peach-colored new shirt, shuttling through the green garden, which was also a dazzling scenery, but the scenery itself did not know it.

Counting the days, she hasn't seen the emperor for seven or eight days, the queen knows that Hongyan is afraid of the last incident and deliberately avoids the emperor, for her, whoever serves is the same, so she didn't force Hongyan to be in front of her, so in the past seven or eight days, the emperor has never seen Hongyan whenever he goes to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion. I didn't see it for two or three days last time, and when I met, I asked if I was kicked out, and I met like this today, and it was also very fresh.

Originally, the emperor would not take a second look at any palace maids and eunuchs he met on the road, not to mention the bright new clothes of Hongyan today, not to mention the last time and the next few days, so he ordered Chief Wu to stop with great interest, Hongyan shrank into a ball slightly, and the emperor asked condescendingly: "Are you deliberately hiding from me?" I saw it from afar, and I thought you were going to go headlong into the bushes. ”

Hongyan really planned to hide just now, but unfortunately the new shirt on her body was afraid of being scratched by the branches, but she didn't expect to be seen by the emperor, so ashamed that she wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

Hongli said: "I promised the queen that I would not bully you again, and if you don't see me in the future, you will hide, and the queen will feel embarrassed, remember?" ”

"Yes." Hongyan easily held back a word, it turned out that she thought she was smart, and she saw it in her eyes.

There is no high wall in the Old Summer Palace, the field of vision is wide, and it is separated from the far away, Fu Heng took people to inspect here, and saw that the holy car was here, and there was a brightly dressed young woman standing on the side, Fu Heng's subordinates smiled: "I don't know which lady is waiting for the emperor on the side of the road, these ladies are noble and noble, but they are also strangely hard." I heard that the concubine was always wandering around the garden. ”

Fu Heng glanced at the man, after all, his sister was the queen of the main palace, and the man also felt speechless, so he quickly shut up and retreated. And Fu Heng looked at it again and again, but he didn't recognize that the woman was Hongyan, and he didn't have time to rush over to salute the emperor, so he took people away.

After the emperor separated from Hongyan, he went to the Qinzheng Palace to do serious business. Let's say that the Dzungar Ministry, from Kangxi to the present, has been fighting for decades, spending countless military salaries and manpower, and still failed to win the peace. This morning, the Dzungars sent a document requesting the redivision of their territory with Mount Tai as the boundary, and the ministers thought that this would greatly facilitate the process of peace, but the emperor did not hesitate.

In the afternoon of this day, Mr. Wu went to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and not long after, the queen sent Wang Gui to the garden to find Fu Heng to speak, and when Fu Heng hurried over, Hongyan had just made tea and said politely: "My lord, Niang Niang is waiting for you inside." ”

However, Fu Heng saw the new shirt on Hongyan's body at first glance, and clearly remembered that when he met the emperor in the garden in the morning and stopped to talk to the people on the side of the road, the woman was also this peach, and if she thought about it carefully, her size seemed to be about the same. He subconsciously looked around, ordinary palace maids were all uniform palace robes, at least in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, only Hongyan wore this.

"Lord Fucha, the tea is going to be cold." Hongyan held the tea in front of the door, opened the curtain with one hand, and smiled with a smile on her face, "My lord, please." ”

Fu Heng nodded and entered the door silently, but he couldn't help but glance at Hongyan more, until he heard his sister clear her throat and remind him, so he withdrew his gaze.

However, the queen did not want to repeat those words of advice, and today she instructed her younger brother on something important, and relayed the meaning sent by the Hongli Governor Wu to Fu Heng with a straight face, saying: "The emperor will send people to lead troops to garrison Orhai, and divide troops to garrison Orkun River, Qizierlik, Erdeni Zhao and other places to prevent the Junggar rebellion. The emperor means that our Fucha family also needs to produce a good talent, and it is best for you to recommend it yourself, so the emperor can't say this, and he wants me to say it. You go home today and discuss with your brothers, and tomorrow morning in the Qinzheng Palace, you can do this matter." ”

But Fu Heng wanted to ask at the moment whether the person he met was Hongyan, but somehow, as soon as he saw the emperor talking to Hongyan, he felt uncomfortable, and it was clear that Hongyan was not his own person, but he had inexplicably developed a bit of possessiveness, and he couldn't allow other men to look at Hongyan more.

This is an unacceptable thought, and it is very unfair to Hongyan.

"Fu Heng, are you listening?" The queen asked coldly, and when Fu Heng woke up, she only saw her sister with a solemn face.

"Yes, listen." Fu Heng responded against his will, even if he heard only a few words, and he knew the situation in the court now, he insisted on answering, "Our Fucha family, there should be a person to go to the desert for a walk, Ama used to be the chief leader of Chahar, and it is most suitable for the people of our family to go." ”

The queen endured the displeasure in her heart, and peeked at Hongyan from the time Fu Heng entered the door, he knew that his younger brother was thinking about Hongyan again, but Hongyan hadn't seen him recently, and had been following him in peace, it can be seen that her younger brother was too lively, but she was already annoyed with the same words, if Fu Heng was unmotivated and indulged in this unrealistic love affair of children, he was destined not to get Hongyan, so why should he cut off the love thread himself.

And what is being talked about at this moment, after all, it involves the government and politics, and the ancestral family law harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the emperor and queen are loving and co-ordinary, and many things Hongli is used to chatting with the queen A few words, today such a thing is also assured to be conveyed to her, and the sisters and brothers will discuss for a while, and Fu Heng will leave.

Hongyan stepped forward to open the curtain for Lord Fucha, but suddenly heard the queen call: "Hongyan, come here." ”

There was a bit of anger in that tone, which made Hongyan uneasy, so he could only put down the curtain and ran back, hurriedly greeted Fu Heng, and ran past him without even a look.

Fu Heng had to go out, there was a palace maid outside the door to open the curtain for him, he could hear the displeasure in his sister's tone, and he didn't dare to turn back, and Hongyan didn't know anything, and was nervously waiting for the queen to show off.

The queen was calm at the moment, and found a topic randomly: "The tea is too light, how many times have you told you about these good teas in vain?" ”

Hongyan was sure in her heart, and said with a smile: "It was ordered by the emperor that I can't give you strong tea, for fear that I won't be able to sleep well at night." Niangniang, don't embarrass the slave maid, today the slave met the emperor, and the emperor told him again. ”

These words spread outside through the door, and Fu Heng had not yet walked away, he had a sigh in his heart, and sure enough, the woman the emperor met was Hongyan.
