Yong'er's head shook like a rattle, and she said continuously: "Niangniang, what are you talking about, slaves, slaves and maids can't stand it......"

Hongyan smiled bitterly: "If you call yourself a slave again, you will stand for an extra hour, why can't you change it?" But it's all the same, I didn't change it from the beginning, Yong'er, although you weren't born at that time, but you know what happened to me back then, right? ”

Yong'er lowered her eyes and nodded tremblingly: "The slave knows, but ......" She hurriedly covered her mouth and forgot about it.

Hongyan shook her head and said with a smile: "If you stand for an extra hour, you can't remember, if you don't respect yourself, others will despise you, and I ......" She reached out for Yong'er to pat the dust off her shoulder, and said gently, "I know that nothing happened to you and the emperor, and I also know that you didn't think about climbing the dragon couch at all, you should have left the palace a long time ago, but because of my selfishness, it became like this." You didn't do anything wrong, but you fell victim to my game with the Queen Mother, but now it's useless to explain anything to you, it's all my fault. ”

Yong'er shook her head: "Niangniang, slave...... The concubine didn't understand. ”

Hongyan smiled: "You are wrong again, not even a word, add another half an hour." She seemed to be joking with her close sisters, but she was really serious about serious things, and said solemnly, "I can let go of my burden in my heart by saying it clearly to you." I rescued you from the snow at the beginning, and I didn't want you to reciprocate and shouldn't let you sacrifice anything for me, but I didn't look at you fairly, so far I can only say that as long as I still have the ability, I will not let others bully you anymore, but what will happen to your life in the future, just rely on your own ability. If the emperor favors you one day, it is your blessing and your ability, you don't have to worry about me, I may not care about me anymore, in short, you and I are the same, treat yourself first, and then think about other people's affairs. I said this today, I will never mention it again, in the future, others will bully you, even if it is the Queen Mother and the Emperor, I will try my best to protect you, but if you want to do what you want and what you want, then you will bear all the consequences, I don't care if it is bitter or sweet. ”

Yong'er looked at Hongyan in confusion, she really hoped that Niangniang could say those words again, but Hongyan just smiled slightly: "Take your time, you will understand everything after the days are long." ”

"Niangniang...... Yong'er clenched her fists again, hiding the bead that she regarded as a treasure in the palm of her hand, "In the future, Concubine Ying, Niangniang, will they no longer bully their concubines?" ”

Hongyan said happily: "You finally changed your words, you know that if you change your words, they really won't bully you anymore." ”

At this time, Cherry has changed to a new box, holding the gift that Yong promised to go out, Hongyan nodded to indicate that she finished talking here, Cherry stepped forward and smiled: "I promised to send the princess palace flowers, what kind of gift did the master take, yesterday the slave maid packed up some of your former clothes, fresh and tender colors, and it was perfect to give them to Yong Promise." ”

Hongyan smiled: "If you don't dislike it, just accept it, it's all new and haven't worn much, I've given birth to a child over the years, and I'm not the same size as before, and those clothes can't be worn." She held Cherry's hand and was about to leave, while telling the palace maid beside Yong'er, "Today's matter must always have an explanation, how long to stand Your master has a good idea, don't be perfunctory, and when you see other ladies in the future, you must be more cautious and not lose your manners." ”

The palace maids agreed again and again, respectfully sent the concubine out of the house, and then came back to stand honestly with Yong'er, Jingren Palace returned to its former quietness, but it was inexplicably a little desolate before, and the house was full of messes at this time before it had time to clean up, but everyone's mood was different. Yong'er heard the palace maids muttering: "In the future, there will be the support of the concubines, see if they dare to bully." ”

Yong'er lowered her head and spread out her palms, she was relieved that the beads were intact, and she couldn't digest the words of the concubine for a while, she only hoped that the days to come would be calmer and live well, and the father and mother outside the palace would be at ease.

On this side, when Hongyan returned to Yanxi Palace, he unconsciously turned his gaze in the direction of Jingren Palace on the other side, and Cherry asked softly, "Are you still thinking about what happened over there?" Master, what did you say to Yong? ”

Hongyan shook his head: "I don't remember what I said, what did I say?" ”

Cherry smiled: "Is that why we will have a lot of dealings with Jingren Palace in the future." ”

Hongyan said: "If she comes, she will naturally be courteous, and if she doesn't come, she doesn't have to be close." Just stop letting people bully her, but I'm not going to pull her into my life, Cherry, you know? ”

Cherry pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "The slave seems to understand." ”

Hongyan patted her head: "Actually, you don't understand, do you?" ”

The master and servant were about to enter the door, and the little eunuch on the side said that the people from the Yangxin Palace were coming, and Hongyan stayed and waited for them to come forward, thinking that the emperor was going to ask about Jingren Palace, and he didn't want Hongli to send someone to say that he would be idle after an hour, so let Hongyan prepare and go out of the palace to see the Buddha together.

Hongyan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Tell the emperor that I can leave here at any time." ”

In Ningshou Palace, the palace maid who inquired about the situation of Jingren Palace was telling about what happened here, and then someone said that the emperor took Concubine Ling to Princess Hejia's mansion generously, and the queen mother frowned slightly and asked, "What about Yong'er?" ”

"Yong promised to still stand under the eaves of Jingren Palace, and you can see it from the front of the palace gate, and I heard that it will take two or three hours to stand."

The Queen Mother glanced at Mama Hua and said with a smile: "She is not soft." ”

Mama said: "The concubine has always done things fairly, and Concubine Ying's temperament is also to give face." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her disdainfully, asked the others to retreat, and muttered to herself: "She can't help but take care of it, I've been waiting to see which one she or the emperor can't help it first, Hongli is simply and always ignoring, as if nothing happened that night." ”

Mama brought tea to the Queen Mother and persuaded: "You have kept Yong'er by your side for so long, you see everything in your eyes, and the slave maid says something that you don't like, she is really not a person like Concubine Xin, I am afraid that no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to train the second one." ”

The Queen Mother glared at her and pushed away the tea: "You must be laughing at me in your heart, you haven't fought her for so many years, don't you forget how the concubine died in the first place, I really can't fight Wei Hongyan?" ”

Mama smiled: "The concubine is not as good as your finger, you are dedicated to the emperor, and you have let Ling Guifei for so many years." Queen Mother, but have you ever thought about it, can't the concubine really fight you? The concubine Niangniang has long been out of the way, as long as you don't press step by step, she doesn't dare to trespass a step, and the slave maid is still looking forward to serving you for your eightieth birthday. ”

The Queen Mother took the tea in Mama Hua's hand and smiled coldly: "Yes, will she be able to live to my age in the future?" Although I can guess a few points of Hongli's thoughts, Yongyan is still so young, I'm afraid she won't be able to enjoy it even if she is blessed. ”

Mama smiled helplessly: "Yes, you are so blessed, how can anyone compare." ”

On this day, Yong promised to stand in Jingren Palace until his legs were weak and fell, the emperor had just returned from Princess Hejia's mansion with Concubine Ling, but Concubine Ying went to make a fuss about the benefits, and in the end it was just this result, Yong promised to look pitiful, but from now on, everyone knows that Jingren Palace has the support of Yanxi Palace behind it, and it is not just anyone who can do it.

Naturally, Hongli wouldn't know about these things, but seeing that Hongyan didn't mention it, he didn't bother to ask, even if this matter was over. There is no shortage of young and beautiful women around the emperor, and there is no need to find the memory of his wife in a small palace maid, this Yong'er can stay in the palace without incident, for the emperor who has always liked to whitewash the peace, it is a good thing, at this age, a partner like Hongyan is much more important than a beautiful concubine.

Hongyan also knew the emperor's temperament, and thought that no matter what, he would not mention Yong'er in front of the emperor again. But if one day the emperor looks at her, he will pick up his former thoughts, get out of the way with the children, and hide back in her own world. Before that day comes, let everything go and go on with your life.

A few days later, the farce in Jingren Palace has been forgotten, and the fourth elder brother is officially born as an heir and succeeds to the prince's mansion. Although Yonghui has been the prince since then, it has a completely different meaning from the title of the fifth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother has since been in the position of "eldest son", and he is the most respected among the princes as a prince.

Yongqi was named "Prince Rong", the emperor re-gave the prince's mansion on the west side of Taiping Lake in Xuanwumen, and the family will move there after the renovation is complete.

On that day, the palace held a banquet to celebrate Yongqi's canonization of Prince Rong, and Yonghui also brought his wife and children to attend, one was the prince who was greatly valued and favored by the emperor, and the other was the prince who had just been "kicked out". In the eyes of the guests present, they all secretly sighed at the ruthlessness of the emperor's family.

For such an encounter with his brother, none of the eighth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother can be convinced, they don't know their brother's intentions, they just think that the emperor is ruthless, the eighth elder brother seems to be honest and upright by nature, but it is inevitable that he is a little cowardly, and he can't dare to act like Yong Ying, at this moment, seeing that Yong Ying ran to his brother and didn't know what to say, the brothers withdrew from the banquet, and he hurriedly followed.

Yonghui said to Yongzhen: "Today is a good day for your fifth brother, don't hang your face, be happy." ”

Yongying turned his head to see Eighth Brother coming out and asked, "Eighth Brother, can you laugh?" ”

The eighth elder brother was about to speak, but he saw the palace maids hugging and Jinghuang Sister coming in from outside the door, he swallowed his words and pulled his younger brother to salute the imperial sister.
