Since the children are here, Hongyan will inevitably come, and sure enough, Concubine Yu looked up and saw her entering the door, standing there and smiling softly: "They are fighting with Yongyan again, sister will watch for me all night." ”

Concubine Yu smiled awkwardly, bowed her head and said to the two little girls: "You are sisters, why don't you let your younger brother do some, just sleep with me tonight." ”

Bai Li guessed that the concubine would have something to say to her master, and stepped forward to the two princesses and said, "The slave maid will take the princess to make the bed and change her clothes." Cherry also came forward to help, so as to take the two children away, Ke'er followed Xiao Qi innocently, in fact, they were just arguing with Yongyan, but E-Niang didn't know what to say to her sister, her sister was going to come to Yu Niangniang, Ke'er had to follow her sister anyway, and the two little guys came together.

"You're lively there, I didn't feel anything when I was in the spring of heaven and earth, and the children were around, but now that I'm separated from you, I really feel lonely." Concubine Yu sighed and asked Hongyan to sit down and drink tea, Hongyan said that she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep when she drank tea at night, so she would leave after saying a few words.

"Actually, I was afraid that my sister wouldn't be able to sleep for Yongqi's sake, so I asked the two girls to accompany you." Hongyan said straight to the point, "My sister has not been in good health in the past few months, and she is worried about a few children if she doesn't worry about anything else." I'm not qualified to say those words, Yongyan and they don't know what to do in the future, but now an outsider can see it, so I want to persuade my sister. Living in and out of the palace with the children, my sister is sad and they can't feel it, and in the end they toss your own body, they are good or bad, and they don't think about you at all. It's not that Yongqi is not filial, he is now the emperor's courtier, the head of the family, there are too many things to worry about him, and you can ignore it without scruples, just know that Eniang will never misunderstand him, isn't it? ”

Concubine Yu sighed: "I also understand the truth, but you will definitely not be able to let go of Yongyan in the future, do you believe it or not?" At that time, you will definitely be troubled and will not be able to sleep, and you will be heartbroken for the little things that the children have. ”

Hongyan smiled: "If it was that time, my sister would definitely say these words to me again, so that I would also be sober." ”

Concubine Yu unconsciously grabbed Hongyan's hand, and after hesitating repeatedly, she pleaded: "Hongyan, if you say a few good words for Yongqi in front of the emperor, I will beg you, for Qingque's little thing, there will be a storm." Since he was crowned Prince Rong, he has never been born in peace, what should the emperor think in his heart, I really can't do it. ”

Hongyan said: "Sister is inseparable from Qingque, there are Qingque on the left and right, not Yongqi's, naturally which mother will blame her son, but sister, is this really fair to Qingque?" She didn't push Concubine Yu's hand away, she only said kindly, "Although the Queen Mother is prejudiced against me, but when the Queen Mother was still Concubine Xi, how did she treat the things in Prince Bao's mansion, do you remember?" My sister should know better than I do. ”

Concubine Yu thought stunned, and only listened to Hongyan said: "The queen mother used to take the queen mother in everything, and at that time, she should call Chang Fujin first, whether it is in the palace or later in the palace, it is the same." Although many innocent people have been wronged because of this, the emperor will not have any worries about a fire in the backyard. But you see now, the green finch in your eyes is not that or that, from the beginning she can't give birth is the pimple in your heart, and now their husband and wife are not harmonious, and it is the fault of the green finch. The hostess of Prince Rong's mansion has no one to support her and no backer, who will give her face, and how can the family be peaceful? ”

"But I ...... this child," Concubine Yu shook her head again and again, "I always feel that I understand why the Queen Mother doesn't like you, this dislike is not like, and I can't pretend to be it." ”

Hongyan smiled bitterly: "But look at the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and me, how are you now, how have you spent so many years, does my sister want Yongqi to be so tossed for the rest of her life?" ”

Concubine Yu withdrew her hand and was silent for a long time, and finally begged for a red face: "Will you say a few words for Yongqi?" ”

Hongyan bowed his head and said: "Otherwise, I won't come tonight, even if it's not for Yongqi, I have to think about Qingque, as long as they can be well, I will say what I should say to the emperor." ”

Concubine Yu was full of gratitude, grabbed Hongyan's hand again and said, "I know I owe you a lot in my life, but I can't do it, I only have Yongqi." ”

Hongyan made up her mind and said with a smile: "That sister listened to me, and now send someone to Nanyuan to send a message to Yongqi, and ask him to personally go to the third elder brother's mansion to take Qingque home, the person he should give an explanation for the maid's matter is Qingque, in fact, the emperor doesn't care, don't you say?" ”

Knowing that Hongyan was willing to say a few words for Yongqi, Concubine Yu was like a reassuring pill, and personally sent her out of the door of Jingyang Palace all the way. More than a dozen lanterns surrounded Hongyan back to his residence, if there was something similar in the past, Cherry was always worried, but today he quietly followed aside, but Hongyan was strange: "Why don't you ask me why I went to find Concubine Yu in the middle of the night, you talk a lot on weekdays." ”

Cherry smiled: "The slave knows your thoughts, so of course she won't ask." ”

Hongyan asked, "What do I think?" ”

Cherry counted: "Concubine Yu came during the day, obviously begging you for something, but she just caused the fifth elder brother's family to stir things up, and now there are more of these haves and haves, and my heart must be very chaotic." Are you worried that if Concubine Yu is afraid that we won't be able to get through here, and go back to the Queen Mother for help, then it will be called trouble. ”

Hongyan sighed: "But I have long eyes." But then he sighed, "But how tired Changxin's eyes are, you see that I have to prevent her from going back to the Queen Mother's side, if the Queen Mother really allows her to do anything, pull her to deal with me, who knows what will happen, more is better than less, work harder." ”

Early the next morning, and I don't know if Yongqi went to pick up Qingque, Concubine Qing returned from the Heart Cultivation Palace early in the morning, and first came to Yanxi Palace. She told Hongyan that she had tested the emperor's meaning last night, and that the fifth elder brother had an ambiguous relationship with the maid in the mansion, and the emperor looked at it very lightly, and didn't take it seriously at all, but just muttered a few words about Prince Rong's mansion is not peaceful, and it has a bad reputation, so she is somewhat dissatisfied.

All this is the same as Hongyan guessed, Hongli will not care about the private life of his sons, but Prince Rong's mansion has a bad reputation, and it is also a headache for the emperor, and if the emperor is impatient over time, Yongqi's future will come to an end.

Hongyan said to Concubine Qing: "You go back and ask my sister, their troupe can't come to the Lantern Festival, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor will also have a fresh look at the Lantern Festival, and they should be happy in the New Year." ”

However, it is said that he didn't wait for Yongqi to pick him up that day, Qingque went home by himself, and then Yongqi passed the word in, saying that the maid Hu's child was indeed his, and after several ladies in the palace discussed, he finally did not give Hu a serious name, and it was not too late to give birth to a boy and a girl in the future. In such a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival, and Yongqi took Chang Fujin and Fang Fujin and the children, and entered the palace in full form.

Concubine Yu listened to Hongyan's words, saw that the children didn't mention anything unhappy, and asked a few words about their health kindly, so they let them be with the young concubines, just watch the play and have fun, from the queen mother to the emperor's grandson, dozens of people gathered together lively, Hongyan took the trouble to prepare a variety of after-entertainment programs, so that people did not have a moment to gossip, everyone saw the emperor's dragon heart was happy, and no one dared to come out at such a good time to ruin the fun.

However, Yongqi and Qingque looked like they were separated, but anyone who knew some children's feelings could see that Hongyan wanted to talk to Qingque alone, so she asked Xiao Qi to pester her sister-in-law to leave the table first, and she followed out later.

The Empress Dowager saw Yongqi's Fujin and Hongyan leave one after another, and Concubine Yu looked at them with a pair of eyes, not knowing what she was expecting, she said to Mama Hua disdainfully: "Concubine Yu is really useless, she was useless when she was young, and it is useless now, her daughter-in-law can't control it, and she has no ability to fight for Yongqi." If I had been like her back then, where would I still have the present of Hongli. She pointed at Mama Hua and said, "Call Concubine Yu over, I have something to ask her." ”

didn't wait for Mama to invite, the others surrounded Concubine Yu, and Mama could only persuade the Queen Mother: "I'm happy today, if you have anything to talk about tomorrow." ”

The queen mother knew that Mama didn't listen to her, she was too lazy to force it, her eyes swept over everyone, and she suddenly remembered a person, and looked for it in the seat, and finally saw Yong'er sitting at the end of the seat, she was concentrating on watching the excitement on the stage, sitting upright and elegant, and the demeanor she should have was not bad, not like a person who had ever been a palace maid. But looking at the emperor again, Hongli was laughing with Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing, and he didn't look at anyone else at all, so naturally he couldn't see Yong'er.

The Queen Mother said to herself: "This Yong'er, can you really endure loneliness?" ”

Mama stood aside and heard it clearly, but she smiled and said nothing, Jingyang Palace was full of people who made the concubine, and I was afraid that I would never be able to endure the loneliness, and the things in this palace were not something that the Queen Mother could control.

On this side, Hongyan saw Qingque alone, she was afraid that she would speak too conspicuously outside, so she wanted to go back to Yanxi Palace to comb her hair under the pretext that her bun was loose, and asked Qingque if she would like to accompany her on a trip, Qingque asked bluntly: "Does the concubine Niangniang have something to say to me?" ”

Hongyan smiled: "You know? Then what I'm going to say, you know, in fact, I don't know how to persuade you, after all, it's between you and the fifth elder brother. ”

Qingque seemed to be free and easy, but it seemed to be desperate to the end, and smiled faintly: "The days are as usual, what else, maybe you should listen to Concubine Yu's words at that time, at that time, Yongqi love Dou was full of enthusiasm, and only felt that the love between men and women is the most beautiful and important thing in the world, and now the blood is cold, and the mind is clear, and I understand how inappropriate it was in the mouth of Concubine Yu." ”

Hongyan took Qingque's hand back to Yanxi Palace, and said gently: "Why did you indulge yourself and get drunk in Hejing Mansion that day?" And respectfully advised you? ”
