"It was originally your business." The queen mother smiled and set her eyes on her daughter-in-law, the queen sat gently and demurely, without the strangeness of Yonglian's rejection in the past few years after Yonglian's death, but the more so, the more distressed the queen mother became, and couldn't help but say, "But Hongli, you have to know that the higher her status, the higher the status of the child in the future. On the contrary, the eldest brother's Eniang is a full person, but you don't like Yonghuang very much. It's not that Eniang wants to care about the Manchu and Han with you, but the royal bloodline still needs to be cautious. ”

The emperor didn't care about the Manchu and Han from the bottom of his bones, so he didn't think about it so much, he had to think so far, if the queen didn't come out again, they had already said that they would raise her son in the middle palace in the future, but now it seems that the beautiful idea will definitely be in turmoil again, and even anger the queen mother.

Hongli felt that a high wall had been erected between him and his mother for this matter, and he coughed dryly: "Huang Eniang, still do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

The Queen Mother bowed: "Are you in a hurry?" It's not that I'm going to go on a tour of the east, it's better to wait for you to come back and discuss this matter, and tell me to see ......" The mother smiled deeply, she seemed to feel that Hongli would go out alone, and she would inevitably be attracted by the scenery along the way, and she would have to find some beauty.

The queen glanced at the emperor and signaled him not to hold on, Hongli suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and could only say: "Erchen listens to the arrangement of the emperor's mother, and will discuss it when he returns from the eastern tour." ”

The Queen Mother said with satisfaction: "In this way, the emperor should focus on state affairs, and leave the trivialities of the harem to me and An Yi." ”

touched a nose of ash, and when he left Ning Chun Hall, Hongli didn't look good on his face. Originally, when the couple came to see the Queen Mother, they always left first, and the Queen accompanied them to talk, but today they left together. When leaving, the queen instructed He Jing Haosheng to accompany the queen mother, and after saying a few words, the emperor had hurried out, and He Jing couldn't help but ask his mother: "Eniang, Huang Ama is angry, who is angry?" ”

"It's not Eniang, don't worry." The queen knew that her daughter was worried about her, and said, "Your emperor Ama is sulking with yourself." ”

After she said this, she chased the emperor out, the bottom of the flower pot stepped on crisply, Hongli heard it before he stopped and turned around to wait, frowned and said, "Slow, slow." ”

The queen laughed at herself: "But I'm a little old, I can't run and jump like when I was in my teens and twenties, I was innocent and lively at that time, and now I am shaking and looking panicked?" Moreover, the queen should be dignified and steady. ”

Hongli's tangled expression showed a little smile: "This time, I won't say anything nice." He stretched out his hand to help the queen and walked a few steps, and the two walked side by side, he sighed: "E-niang doesn't like Hongyan at all, it's just that I can't be too forceful, otherwise I will hate her again." ”

"Since the emperor said that the eastern tour will come to discuss again, you can count the days." The queen reminded, "If there is good news for Hongyan, when you come back, everything will be in order." ”

Hongli looked at her, the two of them were silent for a long time, he finally nodded, what else can be done except this method. Speaking of rank, of course, the emperor wants to give more honor to the woman he likes, he knows that Hongyan doesn't care, but if Hongyan can be promoted, everything can be done more easily in the future, otherwise it has become an exception now, and it will cause trouble for her.

The couple parted halfway, the emperor returned to Shaojingxuan, the queen returned to Changchun Xianguan, Hongyan had already left, there were stacks of sorted account books on the bookcase, the queen casually turned a few pages, and asked Qianya who stayed here: "Hongyan has checked?" ”

Qian Ya responded: "Wei Guiren has seen it, and if there is a problem, he has already retreated to check, and Wei Guiren feels that his body is not very good, so he will go back first." ”

The queen asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Qianya didn't know: "It's not good to look at the complexion." ”

Waiting for the queen to send someone to Pinghu Qiuyue to ask, Hongyan thought that she was tired and rested, so she didn't let the Imperial Doctor Xuan, and woke up from a groggy sleep, but she felt that the world was spinning, and the queen sent the Imperial Doctor to diagnose and treat it, and sure enough, she was infected with wind and cold, and the more you go to the night, the more obvious the symptoms, and Hongyan really fell ill.

The concubine was sick, and the emperor should not have approached, but Hongli still came at night, and the voice of the red face and heavy snort had changed, but he couldn't stop the emperor from breaking in. She could only cover her face with a silk handkerchief, for fear that it would be transmitted to the emperor, Hongli talked to her for a long time, and when she saw Hongyan seeing her coming, she was restless and restless, so she had to leave.

Back at the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, the queen asked how Hongyan was, and learned that she was not lightly ill, even if she got better in two or three days, she would have to take medicine for a while, in other words, these days, she could not have sex with the emperor, and she couldn't rush to the emperor before he went out on patrol. Of course, Hongli would not show disappointment in front of his wife, and the queen also advised him: "You can go out on patrol with peace of mind, I will take good care of him, and it will be the same when I come back after adjusting my body, let her rest for a while." It's also that I'm not good, seeing that she is so capable, I handed over a lot of things to her, and I tired her down. ”

"These days, I will rest here with you, lest they cause trouble one by one." The emperor was afraid that Hongyan would be sick in the day, if he went elsewhere, she would feel uncomfortable, only the queen was the most suitable here, and then he did not mention whether to seal the concubine or not, and when Hongyan's spirit improved, May had passed.

In the scorching heat of June, the poisonous sun shone brightly on every corner of the Old Summer Palace, near the concubine's residence, the eunuch was often seen holding a long pole to disperse the knowledge, only the autumn moon in Pinghu did not have such a scene, and Hongyan liked to hear the sound of chirping outside the window.

It is undeniable that the days of recuperation are quite lonely, and after they are completely healed, the queen and Concubine Yu came to see her separately, but He Jing often came secretly while the queen mother was taking a nap, and they sat together on the shore of Fuhai to blow the wind and whisper, relieving a lot of loneliness. After all, no matter how much Hongli thinks about him, at the moment of state affairs, when he takes time out to take a look every day, it is almost dark.

There is no follow-up to the matter of the concubine, Hongyan admitted that she had a trace of expectation, she had tasted power for the first time as early as when she was a palace maid, even if she just hopes to see her family more because of this, who doesn't look forward to her own well. But since the emperor and queen no longer mention it, nothing has happened to her, and I hope that the queen mother will not misunderstand her because of this, and she will still be her Wei nobleman in a down-to-earth manner.

At the end of June, the emperor was about to set off for Duolunor, Fu Heng was in charge of the preparations for the capital, and news came early from the grassland, waiting for the emperor. The emperor finally left Fu Heng behind, saying that now the Empress Dowager and her concubines are in the Old Summer Palace, which is not as heavily guarded as the Forbidden City, and there needs to be a proper person to guard the Old Summer Palace.

Fu Heng received an errand to ask the queen for peace, and discussed the arrangements after that, so that he could rest assured before the emperor went out on patrol, the sisters and brothers said that they were serious and looked at each other, but when it came to serious things, Fu Heng was about to leave, and he would not show half of his closeness to his sister. The queen was a little frustrated, looking at her younger brother's back at this moment, her heart was empty, and Fu Heng suddenly turned around, her eyes lit up, and asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Fu Heng said indifferently: "The minister forgot to tell Niangniang, Ruyin is pregnant, I am afraid that I will not be able to come to the garden to ask for peace in the next few days, if Niangniang wants to see her, please wait a few more months, so that the fetus can be stable." ”

The queen was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Fu Ling'an is going to be a brother, Fu Heng, you ......"

"The minister retired." Fu Heng bowed and bowed, not wanting to say anything common to his sister at all, so he turned around and left.

The queen felt a pain in her heart, and because of her brother's attitude, she understood that Fu Heng didn't let go of her red face at all, although he was as good as Ru Yinwan, it still made people worry about what would happen one day, and Ru Yin was by his side every day, really couldn't you see it?

"It's July, and it's still so hot." The queen couldn't help but untie her collar, she was bored and hot at every turn these days, if she wasn't afraid of being bad for her health, it was best to eat cold things every day to restrain her, and the imperial meal was sent to her full, she always had no appetite, but it was always a bitter summer, and the queen didn't think much about it at all.

The queen called Qianya to her, asked her to prepare a congratulatory gift for Ruyin, and sent someone to tell Hongyan the good news, but Qianya had another thing in mind, so Qiao Fujin was pregnant, so she had the courage to say: "Niangniang, your monthly letter this month has not yet arrived." ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, she knew what it meant, but then she smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the weather is too hot, you see that my appetite is not good these days, and I should come in a few days." ”

But when she said this, the queen's heart jumped suddenly, Yonglian just left, every month was looking forward to every month being disappointed, the monthly letter never had an inaccurate day, every time it came, it made her feel like the sky had fallen, but now she doesn't care about it, and she can't even remember the days.

"Niangniang, just think of it as a pulse of peace, let the imperial doctor come and take a look, you haven't announced the imperial doctor for a while." Qianya persuaded like this, and she has served the queen for many years, and the hospital was supposed to ask the palaces for peace every few days, but the queen moved slightly, and there was a rumor outside whether there was or not, and the queen simply didn't see the doctor much in recent years, and because of her cheerful mood, her body was also good, and she didn't need a doctor at all.

"Then ...... Please come and take a look. "The queen is relieved, she is the one who came over, although it has been fourteen years, and in the end, she still understands the feeling of being respectful, Qianya didn't remind her, she really thought she was just a bitter summer.

In Shaojingxuan, the emperor was discussing with the ministers about exempting the taxes along the way, and the ministers of course knew that this time would increase the burden on the treasury, so they had to persuade the emperor to think twice, and there was a stalemate between the monarch and the ministers for a while.

At this moment, Manager Wu hurriedly ran in, his face turned red, he wanted to shout but didn't dare to shout, and repeatedly motioned to the emperor to take a step to speak, Hongli's heart tightened and asked: "What's going on again?" ”

"Emperor, Emperor...... has. "Mr. Wu stammered.

"What's the mother?" Hongli was puzzled.

Manager Wu trembled and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, the queen, she is pregnant." ”
