"Good boy, why are you being abused?" Hongyan frowned and said, "Compared to whether she can give birth in the future, if the emperor knows that this child who was given the name of the queen's mother has been abused, the Ebi family will not live." ”

Manager Wu hurriedly said: "What Niangniang thinks about is exactly what the slave thinks. Lord Ebi flickered, even when it came to this, it seemed that there was still something that could not be said, probably because the slave was soft-spoken, and it was useless to say it and listen to the slave. ”

Hongyan figured out the meaning of Wu Gonggong's words, it must not be that Ebi didn't say it clearly, but that there was a tacit understanding between them, this Ebi seemed to want to see the person above again, and now make it clear first, if there is anything in the future, someone can stand up for him.

Originally, whether the child could be born or raised was a matter of the future, and no one knew that naturally there was no crime of bullying the king, but the family knew it, so this crime of bullying the king was planted in their hearts first.

"They want to see me? See what I do. Hongyan took the initiative to bring it up, and seeing that Manager Wu's eyes lit up, she continued, "In the end, I still want to climb this family business, but put everything in front of me, if Concubine Yu can't hold her grandson in the future, wouldn't it be my sin." ”

Mr. Wu hurriedly reminded Hongyan and said: "Concubine Niangniang, right now, the emperor wants to match this marriage." ”

When the elders were still worried about whether this marriage was suitable, Yongqi, who had no idea about it, somehow began to think about the girl, who promised to take care of the widow for her brother, Yongqi could come to the third elder brother's mansion every day, and Sanfujin's illness gradually improved, the uncle and sister-in-law often talked, because of the constraints of etiquette, but with the good of others, Qingque accompanied her cousin to receive the fifth elder brother every day, and Yongqi would say a few words to her from time to time.

Sanfujin is a person who has come over, looking at the people who should be getting acquainted with each other more and more, Qingque is becoming more and more shy, and his cheeks are crimson when he sees Yongqi, after the fifth elder brother left that day, Sanfujin held his cousin to avoid others, and asked her softly: "You and the fifth elder brother, is there something wrong?" ”

Qingque's face turned red, and she said in a panic: "Sister, what are you talking about, I don't stay with you every day." ”

Sanfujin smiled: "I'm from here, can you hide it from me, the fifth elder brother is still living in the Forbidden City, but he comes every day, where is he coming to see me?" Qingque'er, when will it be to tell my sister, my sister will go to the palace for you to beg, you are the granddaughter of Ortai, and your background is no worse than others. ”

Qingque is a cheerful and lively personality, I don't know when it becomes twisted and pinched, once there are precious emotions to protect in this heart, people will really change, she looked at her cousin with red eyes and said: "Sister, it's impossible, I won't accompany you to see the fifth elder brother in the future, so I don't have to misunderstand." ”

"Blue Sparrow?" Sanfujin wanted to persuade her.

"Sister, I'm not in good health." Qingque seemed to know something, and smiled miserably, "I will always be with you and give you companions in the future." ”

In the days that followed, the fifth elder brother went to the Old Summer Palace to ask for peace, all of them were full of spring breeze, and the elders looked at the children with high spirits as if they had encountered something good, Concubine Shu asked Concubine Yu if Yongqi had a sweetheart, Concubine Yu was both excited and confused, Yongqi lived in the Forbidden City, she couldn't do anything here, and she didn't know anything important.

On that day, Yongqi came to ask for peace again, saying that the emperor was going to go to the siege, and he received an errand to protect his father's safety. Concubine Yu told a lot of words, and Concubine Shu smiled on the side: "Yongqi is an adult, my sister always talks about him, and now there is no daughter-in-law nagging on the side, and another day I have a daughter-in-law, and I am nagging in both places, do you want to force this child to go outside to find a gentle township?" ”

"What did you say?" Concubine Yu scolded, "The older you get, the more impertinent you become. ”

Concubine Shu walked up to Yongqi, looked him up and down, looked back at Concubine Yu and Hongyan, and asked coldly: "Yongqi, do you have a crush on any girl?" ”

Yongqi's expression was really embarrassed for a moment, and then he smiled and said nothing, wanting to perfunctory things, Concubine Yu said on the side: "Children, the ladies all watched you grow up, what are you embarrassed about, E-Niang wants to ask and doesn't dare to ask you, if you have someone you like, E-Niang will of course think about it for you." ”

"The marriage of the sons and daughters is naturally decided by the emperor." Yongqi was a little rigid when he was a child, and at this moment he knelt down on one knee and said, "Erchen must follow the arrangement of Huang Ama and Eniang." ”

Concubine Shu sighed: "This stupid boy still has this temper." ”

Hongyan waved his hand at everyone, intending not to scare the child, and after Yongqi retreated, Concubine Yu sighed: "The emperor doesn't know who he chosen, and there is no news about the election. ”

When everyone dispersed, only Cherry saw that the master had something on his mind, and the master and servant said, Cherry said: "Why bother about these things, why should the master bother about these things, you have said everything that should be said, let the emperor and Concubine Yu make a decision, if they come to ask you, you will push it back." You said it yourself, let's start to learn to reject others, these days Concubine Xin and Concubine Yu asked for things in the palace, don't we all refuse? ”

Speaking of Xin Concubine, at that time, the nurse led Xiao Qi and Ke'er to play and returned, the little girl was quite lively when she went out, this time the child followed the nurse closely, and the other little hand dragged her sister and didn't let go, and she couldn't bend over to hold the child with a big belly, but Xiao Qi took the initiative to stick softly in her arms. The little girl seemed to have been wronged, Hongyan wiped the sweat from her neck for her, gently shook the fan a few times, and whispered softly, and the tired child quickly fell asleep. And Hongyan only heard at this moment that Xiao Qi met Concubine Xin in the garden.

It's been several times, Xiao Qi became silent as soon as she saw Concubine Xin, she didn't cry or make trouble and didn't have intense emotions, but what she would definitely do was to keep her sister firmly guarded, all of which sent a very bad message to Hongyan, but the child has been hurt, she doesn't want to force the child to scare her again, she is still very young, if she can forget it, it is not a bad thing, if she can't forget, after two years, her mind will be more mature, and it will not be too late for Hongyan to ask again.

Since she can't get Yonglu back by doing anything, now she has to give birth to the child safely first, and she must take care of the children under her knees. The emperor doesn't like to settle old accounts, he hates others to whitewash the peace on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asks for peace for everything, Hongyan knows the emperor's personality too well, and in the past, he said that Huang Ama was unreliable, although it was not so serious, but Hongyan knew a lot of things, and she had to rely on herself.

In order not to make Xiao Qi nervous, he has secretly ordered that the people of Yanxi Palace should not mention Xin Concubine, and try not to let Xin Concubine appear in the spring of the Heaven and Earth Family, and the things in the palace can not be messed up, and this Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace are the hard work of Hongyan for more than ten or twenty years, and it is not easy to be replaced overnight.

The nurse took the sleeping seventh princess away, and Cherry helped the master to get up and move her muscles, talking about the emperor's going hunting, Hongyan thought about it again and again, and instructed Cherry: "This matter is about the queen's mother, it is really not as simple as the marriage of Sister Yufei's children, and it is not that I want to be nosy." You go and tell Manager Wu that on the days when the emperor goes hunting, arrange for Ebi to come to see me. ”

The emperor only hunted in the suburbs of Beijing this time, so the queen mother also served with him, in addition to the red face to be born, there were also Baoyue Lou and nobles and Yu concubines did not go. and nobles can't be counted on, but Concubine Yu has already found her position in the inner palace, what she should do is beautiful, and she will never talk too much about the nosy things that should not be taken care of. So the emperor went to the outskirts of Beijing for three days, and the garden was quiet and peaceful, without any trouble.

It's just that on the second day, Mr. Wu arranged for Lord Ebi to meet in the garden, Hongyan is now a noble concubine, as long as there is a reasonable reason, receiving foreign ministers will not destroy the palace etiquette, not to mention that she will have to explain to the emperor afterwards, and she is not afraid of being known to spread the legend, so they will meet in the garden generously.

Although Hongyan guessed that Manager Wu deliberately said that there were some things that Ebi did not explain, he did have a lot of things that he did not say to Gonggong Wu.

It turned out that after the queen gave the orphan a name, Ebi raised the child the next day, and he was running for this fate, wanting to use this child to cling to the royal family. At that time, not long after the death of his father Ortai, Xilin Jueluo was difficult to have the glory of the past, and for the sake of the family and his own future, Ebi adopted the child without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the queen died not long after.

Hongyan said coldly: "Is it because this child has no fate with the queen mother, and you abuse her?" ”

Ebi panicked, to be honest, in the early years, he raised the child in the countryside, and he didn't plan to take it back, but for some reason when Qingque was six years old, he was tortured by nightmares overnight, and went to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, only to remember that he had lost a child in the countryside, so in that year, he took the child back.

After receiving Qingque, it is true that he no longer has nightmares, but the child's "nightmare" has begun, and the women in the family all believe that Qingque is his illegitimate daughter, openly and secretly abuse the child, and even poured the medicine of the tiger and wolf when she was young, saying that since it is a sinful species, she should not leave a bane in this world.

Hongyan was frightened when she heard this, and said unceremoniously: "I have also seen the governor's wife, but I really can't imagine that under the gentle and generous appearance, there is such a vicious heart. ”

Ebi said to Hongyan: "The minister took in this child back then, just to cling to the royal family, in order to have a relationship with the Fucha family, these words really can't be said, Niangniang, please take care of this matter for the sake of the child." ”

Hongyan said coldly: "I have no dealings with the Governor, so I really don't have to explain to the emperor for you, the emperor never forgets Queen Fucha and treats Qingque differently, this is the evil fruit you have planted." ”
