"Thank you to the emperor, the twelve elder brothers and concubines will be entrusted to the emperor." The queen wanted to make a big salute, but was stopped by Hongli, he looked at the furnishings in the house and said, "You are different from the Su family and the Dai Jia family, they need to be guarded, countless people inside and out, and they are like going to prison." But you are different, I will not send someone to watch over you, although no one can enter the Yikun Palace to disturb you, if you want to go out for a walk, you can do so at any time. Moreover, there are many palace maids and eunuchs, one is unsatisfactory and resentful for fear that it will not be good for you, and the other is that you have to bother to manage, you choose the two most powerful and reliable to stay, and the others are scattered. ”

The queen said gratefully: "The emperor has thought so carefully about his concubines, but the concubines have never done anything for you in their lives. didn't raise the twelve elder brothers well, and almost caused a big disaster to trouble you, and the concubine was really guilty. ”

Hongli sighed: "You abide by your duty, you are gentle and demure, and you never ask me everything I should have for the position of queen, and I am very grateful to you in my heart." There is An Yi in the front, and there is a red face in the back, if you are someone else in your position, I am afraid that it will be turned upside down a long time ago, I have never done anything for you, and the twelfth elder brother is also my son, to this point, the responsibility is borne by you alone, and I feel guilty for you. ”

"The concubine is terrified." The queen said, "Your Majesty, the concubines are already very satisfied. ”

Hongli bowed his head and said: "If the imperial concubine comes to visit you in the future, there is no need to mention it to her today, she is in an embarrassing situation about the Twelfth Elder Brother, if she doesn't mention it, I will never mention it to her, not everything has to be said clearly, and she also has her last resort." ”

"The concubine obeys."

"You take care of yourself." Hongli said that he was about to leave, but before he walked out of the door, the queen suddenly called out to him.

"What?" The emperor didn't seem to be willing to stay, he didn't know how the queen would reply if she had other requests, or if she had any other requests for the twelfth elder brother. He is also selfish and hopes that the queen will spend the rest of her life in peace.

But the empress didn't think about it, she was just curious about it, for more than thirty years, did the emperor really not know her affection for Brother Fu Qing at all? She asked: "Your Majesty, is there nothing else to do, do you have nothing else to say to your concubines?" ”

Hongli stared at her, and suddenly, as if he couldn't see this person clearly, he smiled faintly: "No, what do you want to hear?" ”

In the end, it is a person who has been with her for more than 30 years, the emperor's eyes can make the queen understand that he really doesn't know anything, she blessed her body and said: "The emperor walks slowly, please take care of the dragon's body." ”

Hongli nodded silently, walked out of the door of Yikun Palace, shuttled through the palace road, Changchun Palace was in front of him, he stood at the intersection and stared for a long time, and the people around him came up to ask if he was going to sacrifice Queen Fucha.

"No need, what I do and think, the queen knows." Hongli took another deep look and turned to leave. Changchun Palace is preserved to this day is what he shows to the world, it is the invisible reliance of the Fucha family, and it is the monument of Hongli for his deep affection, and he does not need to go to Changchun Palace or Changchun Immortal Hall to mourn An Yi. The real mourning in my heart, how can I be willing to let people watch and point fingers, what people can see is just a play.

When the emperor returned to the Old Summer Palace, he met He Jing who came into the garden, and his daughter looked at him in civilian clothes and said with a smile: "Where did Huang Ama go to get away with it, and he returned empty-handed, because he was afraid of being caught by Hongyan?" ”

The relationship between father and daughter has begun to ease since the night when the sixth elder brother was stabbed, and He Jing had a big quarrel with Hongyan in Yanxi Palace that day, and her heart opened up after crying, only she dared to make such a joke to her father. Hongli was thinking about An Yi on the way back, and immediately saw his daughter, very relieved, and was teased by her like this, but he just smiled: "No big or small, if Ama goes to have a good time, do you still have to see the face of Hongyan?" ”

"Hongyan is also for the sake of Amma's body, a southern tour of the spring is boundless, and Huang Ama is still not satisfied?" The smile on He Jing's face was much softer, no longer the sarcastic sarcasm of the gun and stick in the past, she said sincerely, "Huang Ama should take care of your body, you are old." ”

"Amma knows." Hongli was helpless, wanted to hug his daughter, stretched out his hand, and saw that Hejing did not show a look of resistance, so he took her into his arms with satisfaction and said, "Ama will live well and be your support." ”

He Jing smiled and said: "I have a son, who has to rely on Huang Ama, Huang Ama is the most unreliable." ”

Hongli laughed, he hadn't heard this sentence for a long time, but now it sounds like a completely different mood.

"Amma, I really want to find you when I enter the garden, it's good if you let me go back for a few months, I can't really care about your grandchildren." "I'll be back in a few months, and I'll be back before it snows heavily." ”

How could Hongli not agree, but he was reluctant to give up his daughter, and repeatedly advised: "But you must come back early, you go and let Hongyan prepare something for you to bring, don't lose your dignity." I will also give you a reward, and you can do whatever you want. ”

He Jingfu said: "Erchen is grateful for the children." ”

Hongli said: "Don't tell Hongyan about Ama going out." ”

He Jing smiled: "Look, it's not about people's faces, Huang Ama is really useless." ”

The father and daughter dispersed happily, and when they saw that He Jing came with a spring breeze, they were also happy in their hearts, and when they learned that she was going back to Mongolia for a few months, they hurriedly brought the people from the Internal Affairs Office to buy things for the princess to bring back, and He Jing smiled and said, "I haven't opened my mouth yet, and you are rushing to slap me?" But the emperor said, let me ask you for help. ”

Hongyan smiled: "I never stammered with other people, but you, I have to stammer no matter what, I'm afraid that if you don't come back, you will avoid me again." ”

He Jing looked her up and down, and said: "The queen's affairs have become like this, but you and Huang Ama seem to be all right, the ministers are constantly criticizing, I heard that there are still people on the fold today, please Huang Ama to return the treasure to the queen, why do you two not care at all?" ”

"There are so many articles here, how do I know which one you want to hear?" Hongyan said, "Don't worry about irrelevant matters, you go back in peace and come back early." ”

He Jing said: "I don't want to care, but I also want to remind you that the brothers will grow up sooner or later, and the emperor will grow old sooner or later, you have to be careful." ”

Hongyan said: "But my sons will also grow up, and they will only rely on themselves in the future." ”

He Jing thought that his father was going out to look for joy again today, and couldn't help but say: "I have to prevent Huang Ama from finding a new love, his heart is ......"

"How do you become verbose, like an old woman?" Hongyan interrupted Hejing, "You came back earlier, what am I afraid of with you?" ”

The two were arguing, Xiao Qi and Ke'er jumped in, saw He Jing was there, so they pestered her and said, I want to go to the study to see Yongyan studying, Yongyan is going out early and returning late today, after coming back from Jiangnan, he was immediately thrown away in the study, and they have always wanted to see how his brother studied.

"When I take them, I will look at them from a distance, and I will not disturb them." He Jing was also very curious, so he led his two younger sisters to the study, and Hongyan received a message from Chief Manager Wu that the emperor was in a good mood when he returned from the Forbidden City, and she was also relieved.

The three sisters came to the study, in the end, they wanted to alarm the people here, and they were ordered not to tell a few elder brothers, but they just looked at it from a distance, Xiao Qi and Ke'er were also afraid of arguing with their brother and brother to study, and they had to go back after reading it.

As for Yongyan, he is still young and has just begun to pay attention, and the masters are also gradual and will not push him too hard all at once, and he will do more rules than reading and writing, and although Hongyan used to dote on his son, he never talked about the rules and truths, so although the days in the study are very monotonous and hard, the child is not unbearable. He Jing and Xiao Qi both saw him sitting there well, and they had contacts with the master for questions and answers, so they wanted to go back and tell Hongyan.

On the way out of the study, I saw Yongchang coming with the palace maid, who was carrying a food box in her hand, and it should be the queen mother who brought snacks to her grandchildren. Xiao Qi and Ke'er are both polite children, and they stepped forward to salute Yongchang, and she said gently: "The Queen Mother has rewarded you with snacks, and the princesses have been sent to the Heaven and Earth Family Spring, and you can eat it when you go back now." She met with He Jing and explained that she was sending snacks for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said don't let the children work too hard.

"Xiao Qi, you send the dim sum in, since it is the meaning of the imperial grandmother, let them rest for a while." He Jing instructed the two sisters to send the food to the study, she glanced at Yongchang, and Yongchang understood that the princess had something to say to her.

Yong Chang's age is far below Hejing, and Hejing is the concubine of the middle palace, and her status is very important, even if she is a concubine and already has a foothold in the palace, no one dares to bully her easily, but she is still submissive in front of Hejing, and she has not dared to regard herself as a serious master in the harem.

He Jing didn't take her seriously at first, and when he served by his grandmother's side together, he also called her as a palace maid, but gradually got to know this person, and saw the shadow of Hongyan's past in her, as if he wanted to compensate and respect the person who owed Hongyan back then, and began to respect Yongchang.

"I'm going back to Mongolia for a while, I can't serve by the side of the imperial grandmother, Mama Hua is old, the imperial grandmother is very close to you now, and in the days to come, you will have to work hard." He Jing spoke respectfully and said gently, "The temper of the imperial grandmother is not very good, you often persuade you to do something, especially for the imperial concubine, you should keep an eye on it, don't let others instigate." ”

Yong'er was really flattered when she heard these words, and hurriedly said: "The concubine will definitely take care of the Queen Mother, princess, you can rest assured to go back, but the Queen Mother will be worried about you and look forward to your return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

He Jing looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "I think, maybe one day Huang Ama will think of you as a person, and at that time, I also hope that you can be like now, there are all kinds of ways to live in this palace, and whether you want to live with a smile or not, it's all by yourself." ”
