Yongqi subconsciously stopped in front of Qingque, Concubine Ying saw this posture and knew that she had said something inappropriate, but she was an elder and had a noble status, so naturally she didn't have to whisper to the two children, smiled and said a few perfunctory words, and left with the palace people.

"Concubine Ying has always been a little upside down, don't care what she says." Yongqi said, "The people in the palace are idle, so they expect other people's rights and wrongs to come and live, and you will not enter the palace in the future." ”

"I see." Qingque was cared for by her husband, and her displeasure was reduced a little, and she smiled slightly, "I will also learn in the future, even if I listen to these words in person, I can't show my heart on my face, otherwise it was just one thing in vain, and I added another thing for people to say." ”

Yongqi was relieved: "I know you can figure it out, life is always our own life, what does it have to do with them. If they live a good life, they will not be sarcastic about others, it is the bitterness in their hearts that makes them so mean. ”

As the couple spoke, they came to the spring of the world and the world, and Bai Li came out and said with a smile: "Niangniang is really drunk, she slept deeply, the fifth elder brother and Fujin will come back another day." The master also said before that she didn't need you and Fujin to do any rules here, she just hoped that you two would do well, and the mother would be satisfied. ”

Yongqi told Bai Li Haosheng to take care of Eniang, and asked the imperial doctor to send a decoction to sober up, so he left with Qingque. But before leaving the Old Summer Palace, the emperor suddenly called his son again, and Qingque had to go back to the house alone.

Outside the Old Summer Palace waiting for the carriage to pick up, from time to time will meet the minister who received a sign to enter the garden to meet, Qingque is alone and is a female dependent, the ministers are inconvenient to come forward to say hello, and only a few acquaintances will come to politely say a few words, Qingque holds the stability of the prince Fujin, and it is also impeccable, but I didn't expect to meet my adoptive father Ebi, who has not been seen for a long time.

In any case, Qingque still has the background of Xilin Jueluo, and is the daughter of the Governor's Palace, and he always has to give Ebi a little face in front of people, and Ebi's divorce of his wife caused a storm in the city at the beginning, but the emperor did not deny Qingque's origin because of this, so even if they no longer communicate, they are still father and daughter.

The others scattered with interest, and it was rare for the father and daughter to say a few words alone, in fact, they hadn't spoken well for so many years, and Ebi didn't dare to claim to be his father now, but said: "Everything is good in Fujin, today because of official business, I haven't arrived at the house to congratulate the fifth elder brother on the joy of Zhang." ”

"Thank you Amma, didn't Amma already send someone to send a congratulatory gift?" Qingque's attitude is neither affectionate nor indifferent, "The house is busy taking care of the side Fujin, Ama is afraid of being treated badly, it is better to wait for the full moon or the joy of a hundred days in the little emperor's grandson, if there is a banquet in the house, please also invite Ama to join in the fun." ”

Ebi said: "It's rare that I'm in the capital this time, I'm just afraid of the good days of the little emperor's grandson who is full moon, I don't know if I can go to Beijing." ”

Qingque smiled: "Naturally, the affairs of the court come first, Ama doesn't have to remember, there will always be a day to meet in the future." ”

Ebi sighed naturally: "Yes, it's not your child, why should I worry about it." This sentence is an expression of the heart, but it can't be mentioned, he looked at the green finch uneasily, he didn't want to mention the sore spot of the green sparrow, and he didn't know how to explain it properly for a while.

"Ama should go into the garden earlier, the weather is changing, and I'm afraid it will rain heavily at night." Qingque smiled faintly, and when he saw his family sending the carriage, he was about to leave.

"Blue Sparrow." Ebi suddenly said, "There are some partial earthworks in Shudi, which are quite magical, can I find them for you?" You are the fifth elder brother's concubine, if the fifth elder brother can have a son-in-law, the meaning is very different. ”

Qingque shook her head and didn't say anything, but she didn't know that there was a bit of unconcealable sadness in the back she left behind her adoptive father. Ebi's heart was heavy, and when he turned around and saw that the attendants in the Old Summer Palace had come out to greet him, he thought tremblingly in his heart, it was better to leave the capital far away, although no matter what the future of the fifth elder brother was, he would not be too bad in this life with the name of Wufujin's father, but the future days would not be too good. As time goes by, if Qingque's current desolation becomes jealousy one day, it will inevitably be counted together with him.

After that, it wasn't until the full moon of the little emperor's grandson that the ladies in the palace saw the child being brought in, and the little baby looked exactly the same as the fifth elder brother when he was a child, and Concubine Yu just held her grandson in her arms, and she burst into tears. Seeing that Concubine Shu was also sad on the side, if her tenth elder brother was still there, she would be able to start a family in four or five years, and she could hug her grandson with her own hands, but now there is nothing.

The family here is talking, and Concubine Shu should not pestle on the side when she is lively, leading the princesses to see Hongyan and telling her about the excitement ahead. Hongyan's belly gradually grew bigger, and the person became more and more lazy, blaming himself: "Such a good thing, I should go and see, but in the past few days, after walking a few more steps, my stomach has a sense of falling. ”

"Don't go, with the emperor and grandson, we are all ancestors, and you are not ashamed to hold your stomach in front of your daughters-in-law?" Concubine Shu said and laughed, but when she thought of Wufujin, she sighed again, "Sister Yufei is holding the child, and Fang Fujin is sitting next to her, praising the child for raising it well, and telling Fang Fujin to take care of the body, and be affectionate like a mother and daughter." Qingque stood aside, although people may not care, but I feel uncomfortable when I look at it. Of course, why can't the side Fujin be beautiful, work hard to conceive a baby in October, and care about who is standing and who is sitting at this time? But in the future, for a long time in the future, I'm afraid that the green finches will be ......"

Hongyan looked down at her stomach and said, "Speaking of which, I almost don't remember how I got through it in the first place, as if those days never existed." ”

Concubine Shu said: "If you boil it out, everything is sweet, and if you can't boil it, it will be bitter for a lifetime." ”

Hongyan pity Qingque, but also pity Qingque's fate of Doe, she was abandoned by her biological parents is a bitterness, and then being adopted and abused is also a bitterness, although the queen hugged her and gave her a name to give her the life she has now, but she has no confidence to say that she is a person with a good life and good fortune. Maybe this is the final conclusion of the coffin, that is, whether she Wei Hongyan is blessed or not, and she is not qualified to make a final conclusion now.

"What kind of medicine did you take back then, and you should try it on that child, it's really strange and pitiful." Concubine Shu muttered.

"Sister Concubine Yu must be very troubled, we are kind, but others may not be useful." Hongyan refused. I don't know for what reason, empathizing with Qingque and understanding the resistance that Qingque may have, the fifth elder brother and the fourth elder brother have recently begun to be wary of Hongyan, which makes Hongyan feel that she is alienated and guarded, which makes her have some scruples in her heart, and she always feels that it is better not to meddle in the affairs of other princes' mansions, and her kind-hearted people may not think it is good intentions.

In the autumn, Zhang Luo in the palace did a marriage for the eighth elder brother, which was something that Concubine Yu was worried about, Hongyan was pregnant and powerless to intervene, and the happy event was done in front of the lively and lively, and the two Chang Zai newly selected by the queen mother for the emperor also entered the palace.

When she came to salute the concubine that day, she was already in her thirties, but the newcomer was only fifteen or sixteen years old and even younger than Fo'er, and her trembling appearance was pitiful, but it was not as good as the early years when Concubine Ying entered the palace, all of them were arrogant, these people were selected by the queen mother to look very docile and well-behaved, and it seemed that there was no edge and corner without polishing.

In private, Cherry said to Hongyan: "The two new Changzai also went to ask Concubine Ying to say goodbye, I heard that Concubine Ying said behind her back that they knew that they were chosen by the Queen Mother, so they were the opposite of you, but Concubine Xin's fate was like that, and they also arranged for themselves to be bullied by you and end up like Concubine Xin, so they were very scared and honest." ”

Hongyan only smiled bitterly: "Since I entered the gate of the Forbidden City, I am a person of right and wrong, and I can't escape in this life." ”

But Concubine Ying is idle to chew the root of her tongue, but she doesn't want to say it, the two newcomers because of the support of the Queen Mother, they often show their faces in front of the emperor, and the emperor takes his mother's arrangement seriously, but after a month or two, I haven't seen them in the Old Summer Palace, and they hardly go out if they don't have to. Hongyan still met during the Double Ninth Festival, when she was already pot-bellied, and the two Xinchang came to congratulate her on her birthday, and said a few polite words, but neither of them dared to look at her directly.

Nothing is also a blessing, the queen mother is not looking for trouble is a thing that Hongyan can't ask for, October pregnancy spent peacefully, after a heavy snowfall at the end of November, Hongyan gave birth to sixteen elder brothers in the spring of the world, and the palace came with good news, so that the concubine added another son to her knees.

On the day of the little elder brother's washing, it was snowing heavily, for the safety of the palaces, Hongyan asked the queen not to come to watch the ceremony, and the other six palaces also waited for the future to come again.

Unexpectedly, the emperor came from Shaojingxuan under the wind and snow, and there was still snow on his brow when he entered the door, he knew that his cold body could not come to hold the baby, and he couldn't wait to roast the fire around the charcoal stove, which made him laugh at him: "It's all sixteen elder brothers, and the emperor is still so fresh?" ”

Hongli smiled: "You don't want to think about how old I am, is this considered an old man?" Although the emperor's grandfather is still a prince in his sixties, I dare to compare with Kangxi, can I still have a prince at this age, can I not be happy? ”

Hongyan said angrily: "Ten years later, the emperor will definitely be able to have a prince, and there must be young and beautiful concubines to give birth to children for you, why can't you?" ”

Hongli said: "Is there anyone else besides you all these years?" Really mind, you still don't understand? ”

As he spoke, the emperor had already warmed his body, and stepped forward to take the soft child into his arms, the sixteenth elder brother was still very small, and he couldn't see who he looked like, but he would still naturally say: "This child is very similar to me." ”

Hongyan sneered: "How does the emperor know what he looked like when he was a child, and he talked nonsense again." ”

Hongli said: "My son, of course he is like me, look at Yongyan." ”
