This question, Hongli's heart was filled with cordial warmth. Once in the palace of nourishing the heart, the little palace maid who bluntly asked herself if the queen would be happy, is not such a tone, such a straightforward and sincere look is innate and soaked in the bones, it was just a sentence at the beginning, which made Hongli stay on her.

When the first emperor was young, he had many heirs, Hongli held the moon with stars since he was born, and later sent to the palace to raise, all the way to Changchun Garden under the knee of Kangxi, except for the elders and the occasional serious teaching of the masters, no one has said anything serious to him in this life. Hongli grew up in flattery and flattery, and when he was a child, he was inevitably proud and self-righteous, and when he grew up, he realized that those smiling faces and words that whitewashed the peace were the most important.

They will blind themselves and make him bound to a small world, a mediocre person.

But now it's too late, he has become an emperor, and there is no one around him who can be honest with each other, even if he is the most beloved wife, he always thinks that he is an emperor. Such as Hongyan, Hongli no longer cares about anything when he comes to this point, but before the Double Ninth Festival, everything can be redeemed, as long as An Yi talks to him well, as long as An Yi says anything to him. But Hongli also understands that in the emperor's family, everyone is helpless.

When he met Hongyan, Hongli felt that he was closed and depressed in his life, as if he had opened a bright window, and every time he met Hongyan, there was a breeze blowing on his face, just looking at it, he was physically and mentally happy. He had never liked a woman, not because of her looks or because of her talent, but because he was filled with joy when he saw her.

Tonight and his father-in-law persuaded himself not to care about his daughter's affairs, to avoid tearing the rift between father and daughter, Hongli felt very reasonable, but he couldn't let go of Hongyan after all, after returning to the Yangxin Palace, he ordered Mr. Wu to hold the lantern alone and follow him to Shoukang Palace, Mr. Wu was smart, and said that Hongyan must go to the small courtyard with his father-in-law first, and they waited here, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Hongyan to come.

"I didn't know anything that night." Hongli finally replied, "If you still remember the situation that night, how did I react when I saw you, are those fake?"

Hongyan had already been telling Hegong what had happened, and recalled all the events of that night, in addition to her trembling and crying, there was also the emperor's extremely patient companionship, he had been silently accompanying himself until dawn, and did not force himself to do anything, at least that period of time together In today's view, Hongyan has received the emperor's greatest respect. And in addition to the slight pain in the body and the marks on the bedding, Hongyan has no impression of the intercourse between men and women.

Her trembling and crying at that time was the fear of the matter itself, and she was not afraid of going on a blind date with the emperor because she didn't know what was going on. At this moment, I suddenly asked like this, and I didn't understand what I was thinking, but when I asked, I asked.

"I don't know anything. This is something that will hurt you, I care about you in my heart, how could I make such a decision to keep you away from me now. Hongli slowly approached Hongyan and said patiently, "Hongyan, I also want to ask you, have you never noticed my heart for you because you like the sweetness of osmanthus flowers, I want the people of the Old Summer Palace to save all the osmanthus flowers, although it is a long time late, it is finally delivered to you." ”

He was very happy: "You can make snacks out of those osmanthus nectars, you know how comforting I am in my heart, I have planned well, you will refuse or even throw things away." ”

Seeing that the emperor was getting closer and closer, Hongyan subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she didn't know if her body froze or her feet were too heavy, so she didn't move.

The whole clay pot of osmanthus nectar had been used up by her, but she didn't want to keep the things given by the emperor by her side, it turned out that the emperor still saw through her, but Hongyan chose a relatively gentle way. Naturally, even if the emperor didn't explain it now, she would have woken up a long time ago and knew what happened under the osmanthus tree that day, she was too stupid and stupid to think that everything was for the queen.

"Isn't the emperor afraid that I'm sorry for the queen's mother?" Hongyan said, and after speaking, she finally took a step back.

These days, beside his father-in-law and in Shoukang Palace, Hongyan has learned a lot of ways to survive in the Forbidden City, whether it is a few concubines and concubines who have accompanied the emperor, or father-in-law who has accompanied the emperor for a lifetime, every word they say is better than Hongyan herself in the Forbidden City for several years, but all kinds of people have completely different ways of standing.

Hongyan once overheard the gossip between the first emperor Yu and his concubine, saying that the emperor sits on the world and has nothing he can't get, so for them, what they can't get is the best. Concubine Yu bluntly said that the red face is what the emperor can't get, and he will feel good if he can't get it, and saying that the queen mother is so opposed will only fuel the emperor's mind. Naturally, they originally intended to discuss the rights and wrongs of the Queen Mother behind their backs, not against Hongyan, but she just heard it.

Hongyan didn't know whether this was right or not, but she understood that every time she took a step back, the emperor would take another step closer, from the accident to the present, the emperor treated her gently, and even respected all her disgust and resistance, which seemed to be no longer an emperor's mind, but a man who was emotional, and only tolerated it. There is also Lord Fucha, knowing that they will never be able to do it again in this life, Hongyan also said ruthless words to him, hoping that Lord Fucha can forget that he can let go of all this, but he still can't forget it.

What is love, Hongyan doesn't understand, all this that the emperor and Lord Fucha treat themselves is the love between men and women

Mr. Wu was hidden in the dark, and he could vaguely hear a few words, but he felt that the people over there didn't seem to say anything at all, just stood stupidly, such as the night of the Double Ninth Festival, after the two woke up, they also sat silently for most of the night, he put his hand into his sleeve cage to keep warm, stomped his feet and smiled bitterly: "How easy it is to have a woman's body, to have a true heart, it is like climbing to the sky and picking up stars." ”

On this side, Hongli forcibly reached out and took the robe from Hongyan's arms, put it on her body again, and said gently and calmly: "Whether I am sorry for the queen or not is a matter between me and the queen, you must understand that you have not done anything to be sorry for her, it is she who has pushed you into this situation with her own hands." Now that you are my woman, I can't change it in this life, I care about you and am willing to wait for you, and one day you can let go of all your baggage. As for the queen, that's not something you should think about, you and Cherry didn't steal, and you'd rather be beaten than die, so why do you think you're sorry for the queen, think about it. ”

The warm clothes were gathered on her body, this time there was no shackles-like heaviness and depression, Hongyan's heart was beating vigorously and heavily, and her chest trembled every time, she felt a little pain, and the pain made the tip of her nose sour and wanted to cry.

and her father-in-law once said to her: "From now on, Long live Lord is your husband and your man, Hongyan, you really don't plan to rely on your own man"

Hongyan lowered her head, tried hard to suppress her father-in-law's words, and thought calmly about each other for so long, but all she could say was the same sentence: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid can't be sorry for the queen, the queen is only the emperor wholeheartedly." ”

Hongli was a little disappointed, but it was indeed Hongyan who would be like this, since he paid attention to her, he was a little palace maid who could press up and protect his life, and now if he suddenly became a woman who could come up and be coquettish and intimate, he would not recognize it.

"I said it, I'm willing to wait for you." Hongli didn't get any closer, and he didn't reach out to touch him anymore, "But you have to understand that she used to be your master, but now I am your husband, and your relationship with the queen is long gone." ”

Hongyan nodded, shook her head again, her cheeks were crimson inexplicably, she didn't know what was wrong with her.

The emperor leaned over and picked up the lantern and stuffed it into Hongyan's hand: "Go back, although it's only a few steps, be careful, for now you can only take care of yourself on your own." On the side of Hejing, I and the queen will think of enlightening her, once you said to me to be more considerate and understanding of the princess, I always remember this. I hope you can be considerate of her tonight, she hasn't been happy since that incident, and she did that tonight, maybe she couldn't stand it when she saw you having so much fun with Cherry. ”

Speaking of the princess, Hongyan's heart softened, and she nodded again and again: "The emperor can rest assured, the slave knows that the princess is a good child." She held the lantern tightly, lifted the wide robe with one hand, and ran away in a hurry after blessing her body, and ran all the way back to Shoukang Palace without looking back, she was afraid that others would see that she was wearing the emperor's robe.

Manager Wu saw Hongyan run away, hurriedly stepped forward, now they want to go back in the dark, he is more cautious and cautious on the road, the emperor only waited until he heard the door of Shoukang Palace closed, he really quickened the pace, they went straight to Changchun Palace, halfway the emperor instructed him: "Still send people to guard Shoukang Palace, don't let anyone disturb her, the queen, especially other Niangniang, I don't want their sour words, affect Hongyan." ”

And walking outside the Changchun Palace, the emperor looked at the light shining from the door, once his place of peace of mind, but now he is hopeful and helpless, what should he do

That night, there were no waves in the palace, but the princess made such a big move, it was impossible that no one noticed, the emperor and queen discussed how to give the queen mother an explanation for a night, but the explanation to the queen mother was secondary, and how to reverse the queen's impulse in his mind, and even involved his daughter, as time passed, more and more problems surfaced, and everyone who was injured was her dearest.

In contrast, the princess was more considerate of her mother, and the next day she explained to the queen mother, she did not mention any red face, only said that she met the palace maid who offended her, and the princess taught a slave a common thing, even though the queen mother was unhappy in her heart, but the children were so sensible that it was going to be trivial, and if she pursued it, it would only make the emperor unhappy.

In private, the Queen Mother asked Mama Hua how Hongyan was in Shoukang Palace, and Mama Hua said fairly: "That child is really a good girl with solid eyes, not to mention who is not in the Double Ninth Festival, put aside everything, she used to serve the queen loyally, and now she is also hardworking in Shoukang Palace, even Concubine Mi can take care of her." A few days ago, Concubine Yu came and mentioned it inadvertently, because she was afraid that you would be unhappy, so she didn't say it, and even Concubine Yu praised her. ”

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "No matter how good a person is, if his identity is embarrassing and his position is embarrassing, it will only make the world uneasy." They only treat me as a wicked person, once something happens and the six palaces are restless, who will stand up and be a good person"

Mama Hua understood the queen mother's distress and helplessness, so she could only persuade: "When the show girls enter the palace, you can pick a few and give them to the emperor, the emperor will no longer worry about the red face when he has a newcomer, and everything will be peaceful." ”

When she mentioned this, she actually attracted Concubine Yu, and she came happily, that is, she heard that in February, the show girls from all over the country were going to enter Beijing, and she came to ask the Queen Mother for a grace in advance, saying that her son and the prince Hongday Mansion also wanted to add a few new people, so that many branches and leaves would be scattered.

The Queen Mother and Concubine Yu successively gave birth to the fourth elder brother Hongli and the fifth elder brother Hongday for Yongzhengye, and they were also in a comparable position in the palace, but because they were loved by Fujin, even her son was also valued, so the fourth elder brother became the emperor, and the fifth elder brother of Concubine Yu could only be a courtier.

Fortunately, this mother and son have no covetousness for the throne, and the Queen Mother will answer whatever Concubine Yu asks for on weekdays. This draft, according to the convention, is also the emperor's selection, send the other show girls back to their original places, or give them to the children of the clan and the minister of civil and military affairs, and it is not an exaggeration for Concubine Yu to ask for a new person for her son.

Sisters for decades, the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about anything when she speaks, she promised to agree, but she still mentioned Concubine Yu: "Hongtian is always playful, he used to say that he was young and ignorant, but now he is thirty years old, and he is not serious." You have to urge him to learn more about the affairs of the court, so that he can share the burden for the emperor. ”

Concubine Yu was concerned, and lowered her head and said softly: "The concubine would rather him be like this, when he followed the first emperor, he saw too many thrilling things, he lived in peace all his life, and the concubine was satisfied." ”

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, in fact, when she mentioned the past, she also had palpitations. After Yongzheng Ye ascended the throne, he suppressed many siblings, how cruel the folklore was, even if in the eyes of legal theory, the emperor acted according to the rules, but these women were also frightened. At that time, the bitter begging of several concubines, the queen's love could not help, and the queen mother used to see it in her eyes.

"Well, let's not interfere more in the affairs between their brothers." The Queen Mother sighed lightly, and then mentioned, "Since you are asking for Hongzhan, you will also choose one for Hongzhan, and when the time comes, you will take a closer look at it yourself, if you have a favorite, as long as it is not chosen by the emperor, you will come and tell me." ”

Concubine Yu was overjoyed, and blurted out for a while: "If it is like Hongyan's child's appearance and character, Hongtian will be blessed." ”

When she said it, she felt that it was inappropriate, and Mama Hua waved her hand to her again and again behind the Queen Mother, and Concubine Yu simply got up and said: "Since you agreed, the concubine will go back, look at the emperor should come down to greet you, it is inconvenient for the concubine to be here." ”

Concubine Yu hurriedly left, for fear that the Queen Mother would be unhappy for her words, so Mama Hua sent it out, and said with a wry smile: "Niangniang, don't mention any more red faces." ”

"I, I don't have any great skills, but I can't see a lot of people." Concubine Yu and Mama smiled, "Let's make a bet, this red face will not be easy in the future." ”

Naturally, these words can't reach the ears of the Queen Mother, but in February, the roster of the draft will be issued, and the school-age show girls from all over the country will set off from home, near or far, and will arrive in the capital in mid-February. Even in Shoukang Palace, some people will mention that several concubines have entered the palace in the draft, and talking about the past is like listening to a story.

On this day, Hongyan waited for Concubine Shouqi to take a nap, and when she came out, she saw that Cherry was shoveling the freeze-dried snow under the corridor with the little eunuch, and it was still very cold, but Cherry was so hot that she was sweating, and Hongyan stepped forward and called her: "You are naughty again, this is not your job, go back with me to wipe your sweat and change your clothes, you will catch a cold if the wind blows." ”

Cherry happily ran up and took her sister's hand, the two went back to the house, the little clothes in the cherry were soaked, Hongyan simply changed them all for her, when she took off her clothes, the little girl was shy and giggled, but Hongyan rubbed her ass and asked her, "Are you still in pain?"

After being beaten that night, three or four days have passed, although Cherry returned to the concubine early the next morning on an errand, as if nothing happened, but Hongyan has been very worried in her heart, endured until today, and finally brought it up again, she asked Cherry: "In the future, would you like to go to fireworks with your sister"

Cherry nodded repeatedly: "Of course I do." She tilted her head and asked Hongyan, "Sister, do you think that I am not afraid if I am more frightened than the princess." ”

She raised her face proudly, there was childishness on her face, and she was even more innocent at this age, and suddenly she was happy, and said to Hongyan: "I heard grandpa say that he followed the first emperor when he was a child, and he was beaten for the first emperor every three or five days, so he put a leather cushion in his pants, and then it didn't hurt." Every time he was beaten, the first emperor rewarded him as compensation, and his grandfather said that this is how his affection with the first emperor came. However, I am not good with the princess, she is so strange. ”

"If you're not afraid, I'll be relieved, in fact, I don't have any skills, and many things are still in my heart, but I'm your sister." Hongyan dressed Cherry, rubbed her little face and said, "In the future, my sister will protect you and never let you be beaten again." ”

Cherry smiled innocently, even if the incident was over, when she grabbed the dim sum and ate it, she remembered that she had just heard the little eunuchs say that the palace was going to be drafted, she asked Hongyan: "My sister is the emperor's official woman, so what is my sister after those show girls come?"

Hongyan sewed a pair of socks in her hand, and said without raising her head: "It's still an official girl, or rather, a palace maid." ”

"I think none of those show girls must be better looking than my sister." Cherry rubbed over, took the pastry and stuffed it into Hongyan's mouth, and said with a smile, "Little Lingzi, they all say that my sister is good-looking." ”

Hongyan smiled gently: "The show girls are all thousands of chosen immortals." ”
