Because of a plate of dim sum, Hongyan impressed all the concubines and concubines in Shoukang Palace, and originally thought that he was a docile and well-behaved child, but he didn't expect to treat others so attentively with a casual word. If it is to please Concubine Shouqi or Concubine Wen Hui, they can still say a few words in front of the emperor and even the queen mother, but a few words of praise from Concubine Mi, who is not in a good situation, is not worth anything at all.

But Hongyan was called to the front, Concubine Mi praised her, but also gave her a jade bracelet, Hongyan didn't dare to ask for such a valuable thing, and the grandmother said: "The first jade bracelet in the palace is not unusual, this thing is valuable, it is left to our concubine in front of Queen Xiaogongren, and the Queen Mother may not be able to see it." ”

"The slave didn't dare to take it." Hongyan refused repeatedly, but was asked by Concubine Mi to step forward, personally put the bracelet on for her, and said with a smile, "My daughters-in-law, I blame me for not seeking a future for their husbands, this time something like that, I don't know when I will see each other again, there are many grandchildren underneath, I don't know which one to leave this thing for, they don't necessarily care, in the end it is still right and wrong." ”

"However, how can the slave and maid, the concubine Niangniang, you still ......" Hongyan didn't dare to ask for it after all.

The concubine smiled: "Jade is the most spiritual thing, since I want to give it to you today, she should find a new master for herself." In my life, I have been cared for by the old owner of this jade bracelet, and if she can continue to bless you, it will not be in vain for you to treat me today. In this deep palace, there is nothing you want, but the human heart is the most rare. Do you know that this snack has warmed my homesickness for decades. ”

The cold bracelet fell on the wrist, and it will soon become as warm as her body, E-Niang once said that wearing jade, one day you can't feel her existence, that is, when you really become one, at this moment Hongyan doesn't dare to think that this is already her own thing, but Xu is the beauty she has brought, so that Hongyan's heart rises a little hope for the future, naturally what she longs for is a peaceful and peaceful life.

In just over a year since she entered the palace, she has tasted all the good and all the bad, she has the pride of being favored by others, the glory of being respectful in front of her because of what she does in the name of the queen, and the punishment of punishment, the fear of dying, and even ...... His body has been handed over to the emperor. It seems that in a year, she has experienced all the things of other people's lives, but it seems to be magnificent, but in fact, she has left nothing, and occasionally when she thinks about it, Hongyan doesn't remember what she did.

Hongyan wore a jade bracelet and returned to Concubine Shouqi, and the old lady heard that Hongyan had something from Empress Xiaogongren, and she was full of emotion: "This is her most cherished thing, although it is not worth much, our sisters' affection for decades is in it." Hongyan, if you can treat others with sincerity in the future, you will definitely be able to get the sincerity of others, but there are too many impetuous people in this world, many people blindly only ask and do not know how to give, although there may not be a return for paying, but what you get because of giving is the long-term way to be down-to-earth. ”

"The slave has written it down." Hongyan understands in her heart that this so-called dedication also depends on who she is right and who she is, and what she did during the days she was with the queen that year was not to pay, but to do her duty, she was the queen's palace maid and a slave in this palace.

Mama Yuzhi came in from outside the door, and when she saw Hongyan was there, she said apologetically: "This snack is sweet and soft, and it is a fresh thing, but unfortunately the concubines and concubines are too old to eat more, I see how many there are, so I will let people send them to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and naturally Ningshou Palace and Changchun Palace are indispensable, Hongyan, you won't care, right?" ”

"The queen and the queen mother are also ...... Sent? Hongyan's face tightened, but he suddenly realized that he didn't care about these things being sent to the emperor?

Mama Yuzhi also noticed it, and glanced at each other with the concubine, and the concubine only smiled: "You are serving by our side above board, and it is natural to do a few things psychologically, the queen mother is not a narrow-minded person, and those who were angry before, not the right thing, even if it is not your red face, it is the same result as someone else." ”

Having said that, Hongyan had palpitations, and frankly said to Yuzhi's grandmother: "Mama, forget it next time, the slave would rather be forgotten by everyone." ”

And said that this snack was sent to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor got up early in the morning and was busy with court affairs, and most of the breakfast was in response to a scene, and at this time he wanted a bowl of tea to moisten his throat, but Mr. Wu brought a plate of dim sum, if the emperor would not have looked at it in the past, but today's familiar sweetness drilled into his heart, and he immediately asked: "Where did it come from?" ”

Manager Wu said with a smile: "The emperor is wise, this is the Jiangnan pastry made by the Wei official woman." ”

Hongli chose a piece to taste and praised: "She is not from Jiangnan, how can she think of doing this." ”

Mr. Wu told the matter of Concubine Mi, Hongli had unconsciously eaten a whole piece, and at this time the hot tea was also delivered, and he was even more satisfied after drinking the tea: "Good things still have to be good for those who have a heart." Good people will be genuinely liked wherever they go. ”

The emperor likes it, naturally it is easy to say, but there are countless women around the emperor for so many years, in the opinion of Mr. Wu, the saint's liking for Hongyan is really a little different, maybe because Hongyan is a person who can't get it, so he feels so beautiful, but in the past, he had to take care of the queen mother and the queen mother, but now it is the most rare Hongyan in his own heart.

"Your Majesty, there is something, the slave has been thinking about it for several days, and I still want to tell the emperor, and you will know sooner or later." Mr. Wu put the snacks on the table, bowed down and took a few steps back.

"What's the matter?" Hongli hesitated, and wanted to add another piece of this snack, but he reached out to take it, and was stunned for a word from Mr. Wu.

Manager Wu said: "The servant went to the Internal Affairs Office the day before yesterday, thinking that it had been two or three months since that incident, so he planned to let someone make a meal card for the Wei official woman in case the emperor wanted it, but he inadvertently turned over the roster and found that the birthday of the Wei official woman was the ninth day of the ninth month of September, that is, that day. ”

Hongli's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and a deeper guilt floated in his eyes, mentioning that day, he had to think of Hongyan's appearance that life was worse than death, the emperor had never seen such tears and trembling, every tear and every trembling made him heartbroken, the dignified emperor, actually forced a weak woman into a desperate situation. And that day was still her birthday, and it was the day when she was at home before entering the palace, and she was loved by the stars in every way.

"I see." The emperor didn't use any more snacks, but ordered, "Since Ningshou Palace is also available, you pay attention, don't ask Eniang to embarrass her again." ”

Let's say that Hongyan was in the small courtyard of his father-in-law, and borrowed the stove to figure out what Concubine Mi wanted to eat, so she naturally left a lot for her father-in-law and cherries to taste fresh, but Xiao Cherry was greedy, and took advantage of his grandfather's inattention, and stole a piece to eat from time to time. Hongyan came to help take care of her, Cherry was afraid that her grandfather would beat her when she left, so she pestered Hongyan and refused to let her go, and her father-in-law finally felt sorry for her little granddaughter, and said to Hongyan: "I'll go to the concubine to talk back, you will live here tonight." ”

Hongyan is also willing to be with Cherry, and after taking care of Cherry and taking medicine, she hides in the bed with her and whispers. But not long after the genius was dark, he and his father-in-law went to Shoukang Palace and did not return, and suddenly heard the movement of the rumbling like artillery fire, but Cherry was not afraid, but listened carefully to the voice with longing and said: "I know, fireworks are being set off in the palace again, and the fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve are always tried a few days in advance." ”

Hongyan also knew that when the fireworks were tried in advance last year, Hongyan was still in the courtyard of Changchun Palace, and saw a flickering light in the distance, and a year passed in a blink of an eye. Although a lot has happened, she can still lie in the warm quilt with Little Cherry now, Hongyan understands that she should not complain, she is much luckier than many unfortunate people in this world.

"Sister, I've never seen fireworks, I've been in this palace for a lot longer than you, but I've never seen fireworks." Cherry muttered, nestled in Hongyan's arms and said, "I haven't gone far from Shoukang Palace, and I don't dare to go out now, I'm afraid that if I go out, I won't understand anything and be laughed at." ”

"Won't my father-in-law take you out to have a look?" Hongyan asked.

"My husband said that where there are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and he hasn't decided whether he wants me to stay in the palace in the future. So I didn't plan to let me see and see, maybe I would be married off one day, so why bother to know what this Forbidden City was like. Cherry snorted, "He doesn't want to think about it, I really left one day, people say that I went out of the Forbidden City, and I don't know where the door of the Forbidden City opens." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Don't complain about your father-in-law, your father-in-law is also for your good." ”

The cherry man said loudly: "I am bent on staying in the palace and supporting my grandfather to the end, what to do if I marry me off, who will take care of him when I leave, my grandfather is old and confused." ”

Hongyan occasionally turns his back on his father-in-law, and listens to Cherry call him grandpa, although the little guy is always in a hurry and always hangs on his lips like an old man or even an old thing, but who loves her the most, who she loves the most, Hongyan understands in her heart.

"Sister, are the fireworks beautiful?" Cherry's eyes were full of curiosity.

"It's beautiful, but it's not interesting, and when it's the most gorgeous, it's time to disappear." Hongyan said, "I think it's lively, but I don't like it very much, I like it for a long time." ”

Cherry doesn't seem to understand, this age is the most lively time, but she is locked in this small courtyard, occasionally follow her father-in-law to Shoukang Palace to ask for peace, although naughty always provokes her father-in-law to beat her, but in the end she is still very obedient, don't let her run around, never run.

In this case, Hongyan wanted Cherry to see the fireworks, and she didn't dare to take her out casually, not to mention that she was embarrassed now, how could she take Cherry to trouble again, after all, she couldn't fulfill the little girl's dream.

But early the next morning, Cherry was still sleeping, Hongyan rushed back to Shoukang Palace to wait for the concubine to get up, and when she was setting up breakfast, she suddenly came with her father-in-law, and her sleepy-eyed little granddaughter kowtowed to the concubine, and I don't know what the father-in-law said to the concubine last night, but the concubine was already prepared, and Hongyan said: "Cherry is also the time to learn skills, and she will follow you in the future, you don't spoil her too much, you don't learn the rules and learn skills in the palace, and she will suffer in the future." ”
