In the first month of the lunar month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send their families to the palace to meet according to the arrangements of the ladies of each palace. The status of the concubine in the palace will directly affect the treatment of the family in front of the palace people, in the past, Mrs. Sutu longed for her daughter to soar, so that she could sit in a sedan chair into the palace, but the ups and downs of the concubine, gave birth to two daughters did not come to the concubine position this time, when Mrs. Sutu entered the palace in the month of this year, she no longer saw the courtesy that everyone gathered around in the past.

She brought a lot of silver with her, and rewarded it all the way to the palace people who led the way, but even though the little eunuch who led the way was so good to her that the silver was good, Mrs. Sutu's heart still fluttered. She has something very important to do today, and she doesn't know what the result will be if she does this, but if it really happens, maybe at this time next year, she will be able to enter the palace in a warm sedan chair, and she will not be laughed at by those concubines in Nasutu's house because of what happened to her daughter.

At this moment, in the Yikun Palace, the twelfth elder brother recited a book to his grandfather Nabul, and after memorizing it, he also made a rough interpretation, clear and confident, Nabul looked at his beard and said: "The twelfth elder brother is really gifted and wise, it is the hope of my Qing Dynasty, I want to come ......" He paused, looked at the queen and said, "Niangniang named Qing'er for the twelfth elder brother, is this the intention?" ”

The queen shook her head with a smile, ignored her father, called the twelve elder brothers in front of her and said, "Qing'er, it's not enough to just be able to study, but also to be good at riding and shooting, the people of the Fucha family are both civil and military, and you have to be like this." ”

Nabul sneered: "Why do you want to compare with the people of the Fucha family, what else is there in their family now?" ”

The queen looked at her father amusedly, obviously Nabul was too conceited, the Fucha family had more than anything, it was simply half a power, and if his father said this, he himself had no confidence.

"You have to learn from the uncles of the Fucha family, after the first month, E-Niang asked them to arrange a master." The queen still said the same thing to her son, and said, "Hungry, go eat a snack." ”

Thinking that the queen was sending the twelfth elder brother to eat snacks, she continued to talk to Nabul, but the queen took her son's hand and stood up, and she was going to go with the twelfth elder brother, and when she walked to the door, she remembered that her father was here, and said to Nabul: "Ama can take care of herself, if you are tired, leave the palace early." ”

Nabul watched her daughter take away her grandson, and she wouldn't say more to herself, but I heard that the queen occasionally met with people from the Fucha family, and often sat for most of the day, Nabul didn't understand whether she had the heart to make friends with the people of the Fucha family, or if she really regarded herself as a member of the Fucha family.

Leaving the palace in a daze, Nabul sent away all the people who Hua Rong arranged to send him, only the two little eunuchs walked one after the other, and the road to the outside of the palace was very long, although there were many people in and out of the inner palace during the New Year's Festival, but the Forbidden City was big in the end, and not there were people walking on the road all the time, this should be the time to keep the family for dinner everywhere, but the queen only gave a cup of hot tea and a few cold words.

Turning the long street in front of Yikun Palace, Nabul sighed fiercely, and the little eunuch in front of him stopped and said "Adult", and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm tired." ”

But the little eunuch said, "My lord, the servant saw someone on the side of the road in front of me, and I don't know if it was a lady in the palace who might need you to avoid it." ”

Nabul frowned, thinking to himself that I am the emperor's father-in-law, could I meet something that Xiao Chang promised to let them. But rules are rules after all, and Nabul nodded reluctantly, and when the little eunuch stepped forward to take a closer look, he came back and told him that it was all right, that it was Mrs. Nasutu, the mother of Concubine Xin.

Nabul and Mrs. Nasutu had known each other for a long time, and it was natural to come forward at this time, but when he looked at it, it made his heart tighten, and Mrs. Nasutu's who were shivering in the wind and snow were still charming, and the soft and pitiful eyes glanced at them, which made Nabur's heart jump suddenly. Concubine Xin has a captivating appearance, naturally her mother is also a superior beauty, young has its own youthful taste, but age will also make the beauty precipitate stronger and more flavorful, and at Nabul's age, beautiful girls may not be able to take a second look, but it is Mrs. Sutu's style that will call them things.

"Why is Madame here alone?" Nabul was a little distracted, pressed his throbbing heart, stepped forward and said, "The rules of the inner palace are strict, and it seems that it is not appropriate for the lady to walk around the palace alone. ”

Mrs. Nasutu's eyes were tactful and soft, and she said timidly: "Lord Nabul is polite. She took a deep look at the man in front of her, lowered her eyes and said, "The people in the palace are warm and cold, and the adults understand it in their hearts. Naturally, it's not easy for people to come to Mongolia, so just wait. ”

Nabul actually felt a little pity for the jade, and hated: "The rules in the palace, when did they change for a few Mongolians, wait for me to go back to the queen's mother, and ask Concubine Ying what is going on." ”

Mrs. Nasutu hurriedly said: "Adults don't need to be angry, it's just a trivial matter, why bother to trouble the queen's mother, but in the end, it's not the concubine's mother." ”

Earlier, when Concubine Xin was favored and supported by the Queen Mother, Nabul regarded her as a thorn in her side, but Concubine Xin's ups and downs did not make achievements, and giving birth to two daughters had no impact on the succession to the throne, and now even the Queen Mother has abandoned her, Nabul has long not put Dai Jia's in his eyes, at this moment, seeing Mrs. Nasutu so cautious, if it is an ordinary person, but such a beautiful woman, his throat rolled a few times, and said: "Madame just wants to enter the palace, or leave the palace?" ”

Mrs. Nasutu said softly: "The concubine is going to leave the palace." ”

There was a slight glint in Nabul's eyes, and he said, "If the lady is willing to go along, please go ahead." ”

"This ......," said Mrs. Nasutu, looking at Nabul tenderly and tactfully, "thank you, sir." ”

They went to the outside of the Forbidden City one after another, not close or far, and occasionally said a few words, after all, they were in the Forbidden Palace, and everything was in accordance with the rules of etiquette, but in addition to what the gate of the Forbidden City would be, it was difficult for others to see.

On the same day, the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to the Yanxi Palace to invite the concubine to show the Lantern Festival banquet, and the red face was carefully looking at the arrangement and dishes of the banquet. This time, Ese Yin, who was awarded the title of Auxiliary State Duke, and Turdu, who was a first-class Taiji, were both heroes who contributed to the pacification of the size and Zhuozhong, and it was also the emperor's special advice to properly arrange all their daily life after they went to Beijing.

"There are taboos in Hui diet, and you should pay attention." Hongyan instructed the palace people, "Tell the palace maids and eunuchs who serve the food that when they bring the dishes to the guests, they must explain to them all the things in the dishes, and they don't have to be reluctant to eat or not." ”

Everyone agreed one by one, and Hongyan even instructed: "You can't just fool people, saying yes or no, the meals of the guests in the Hui Department are all cooked again, and you must be sincere from the beginning." ”

At that time, Concubine Shu was picking up flower ropes with Xiao Qi on the side, and when the people from the Internal Affairs Office retreated, Concubine Shu said lazily: "I haven't seen such troublesome guests, and you have to start another stove for them?" ”

Hongyan smiled: "The emperor respects people, what are you bothered about, and I don't want you to cook." She saw that Xiao Qi was not worried about the flower rope in Concubine Shu's hand, so she stepped forward to give her daughter some pointers, and when her daughter won Concubine Shu, she sent her away, turned around and said to Concubine Shu, "Do you know, the first-class Taijitur has a younger sister, who is twenty-seven years old this year, and has not been married." ”

Concubine Shu didn't have time to put a piece of candied fruit in her hand, looked at Hongyan and asked, "What do you mean?" Want to send it? ”

"The emperor told me that I was afraid that I would stay." ”

Concubine Shu snorted: "The emperor actually told you that the emperor even has to discuss this kind of thing with you now?" ”

Hongyan saw that Concubine Shu was full of vinegar, and said with a smile: "It's obvious that my sister rejected the emperor for thousands of miles, why do you still come to eat my vinegar?" ”

"Where is jealousy?" Concubine Shu said disdainfully, "I think that the emperor is treating you as a fool now, obviously praising you and coaxing you to respect you, but in fact, he is using these halos to restrain you, holding you high there and not letting you down, he is at ease underneath, if you can't hold back and have to struggle, then you will fall all over your body." ”

Hongyan was disgusted: "What nonsense, the emperor is also embarrassed." ”

Concubine Shu ate the candied fruit, patted her face and said, "Look, yes, the goal has been achieved, what he wants is such a result, you were sold by him and counted the money for him." ”

Hongyan was stunned, and didn't know what to say, but muttered: "There is an existing Yu concubine, and now there is this one, although she has never been married, but she is not young, what do you say they are doing at home with such a big girl?" ”

"Waiting for the emperor?" Concubine Shu asked, but she laughed, and was blamed by Hongyan before she restrained herself, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Hongyan, "If it is a beauty, it must be a hidden beloved, if it is not a beauty, what should the emperor do?" ”

Hongyan arranged the flower rope left by her daughter and muttered to herself: "I heard that she is a beauty." ”

At this moment, Cherry came in from outside the door and said with a serious expression: "Niangniang, there is a message from Xianfu Palace that Concubine Chun is sick." ”

Hongyan asked, "Have you sent the imperial doctor to see it?" ”

Cherry said: "I refused to take medicine to see a doctor, and I kept making a fuss, saying that I wanted to see the emperor and the sixth elder brother." ”

Concubine Shu interjected: "Let her make a fuss, it's good to die." ”

Hongyan motioned to her not to be so vicious, and said, "In the Great Spring Month, why bother to block this kind of person, you should not know." While instructing Cherry, "Send someone to guard it carefully, and pour it down if you don't take the medicine, if she really doesn't want to live, who can stop her." Tell the palace people of Xianfu Palace that there is no need to be too nervous, life or death is in her own hands. ”

Cherry took the order and left, and Concubine Shu snorted: "Who would have thought that Concubine Chun and her son would end up like this." ”
