After a year, if she hadn't followed Yongyan, who was born closely, Hongyan felt that she couldn't pass that hurdle, but even if she passed that hurdle, she couldn't eliminate her heartache for the loss of Yonglu. Cherry thought that the master asked her to prepare sacrifices to go to the water's edge to mourn, but the master waited at home and asked her to watch, and if she saw someone coming from Baoyue Tower, she would immediately return to her.

It seems that the people in Baoyue Tower are also waiting for the movement of the spring of the heaven and earth, hour by hour, and when the sun sets and the sky is about to dark, the nobleman finally appeared with her maid. Cherry quickly came back and told her master that Hongyan asked her to go out with the sacrifices, and met Xiao Qi who had returned from playing in Concubine Shu's house in front of the door.

Xiao Qi saw the things in Cherry's hand, she may not be able to clearly remember the days when her brother drowned, but she knew what happened at this time last year, Hongyan always hoped that her daughter could forget this paragraph, but her daughter ran up and took her hand and said, "Eniang, I'll go with you, I miss my brother." ”

Hongyan was originally very calm, and she just wanted to go to Iparhan to say a few words, but she was distressed by her daughter's words, moistened her eyes and said, "Yonglu must be very happy to see my sister go too." ”

Xiao Qi saw his mother crying, and said distressedly: "E-niang doesn't cry, there are me and Ke'er, and Yongyan." ”

The more the child said this, the more uncomfortable Hongyan felt in her heart, and took Xiao Qi's hand to the water's edge, she still remembered that dream, and the queen told her that she would take care of the child for herself in that world. She restrained her sadness and said to her daughter: "Yonglu is also very good, he will protect Eniang and sister in heaven." ”

When he was about to reach the water's edge, Xiao Qi took the initiative to run over, but someone came there first, and the unaware child was stunned, and wanted to turn around and run back to Hongyan, but thinking about the rules taught by Eniang, he still obediently stepped forward and blessed himself and said: "It is auspicious with the nobles." ”

Ipar Khan is just a nobleman, although she is also the princess's concubine, but Xiao Qi will not care about her even if she doesn't take her seriously, but the children of Yanxi Palace have had the rules since the Buddha, even if they meet Chang Zai and promise, they must be polite. At this moment, the embarrassed one didn't know how to respond, but it was Iparkhan who shouldn't have been here.

"Eniang, where are you with your nobles." Xiao Qi saluted and ran back to Hongyan's side, "Did you also come to see your brother?" ”

Hongyan stepped forward with her daughter, Ipar Khan and her maid had to retreat and salute, Hongyan saw that they didn't bring anything, maybe it was because the customs of the Hui tribe were different, maybe it was because Ipar Khan didn't want to be asked what to do, she smiled faintly and didn't say anything, leading her daughter to put down the incense burner offerings, according to the customs of the Han people, mourning her son.

Ipar Khan watched silently from the side, and seeing that Concubine Ling didn't mean to talk to her, she and her maid glanced at each other a few times, and then planned to retreat quietly, but after only a few steps, Cherry caught up and said with a smile: "Stay with the nobleman, the concubine has something to say to you, just wait for the incense in the incense burner to burn out." ”

The maid on the side was used to translating these words for her master, but Ipar Khan was the one who spoke Chinese to Concubine Ling, so she didn't have to pretend at this moment, she stopped, nodded to Cherry, and stood quietly waiting.

At the water's edge, Hongyan took her daughter's hand and put the river lamp into the water, the mother and daughter were both reading words, and Xiao Qi, who had been very calm, suddenly became sad and snuggled up to her mother to wipe her tears. Hongyan gently comforted her and enlightened her softly, such a warm and beautiful picture made Iparkhan standing aside very painful.

The incense burned out, Hongyan whispered something to her daughter, Xiao Qi left her mother's arms very obediently, and after saluting the nobles, she took Xiao Lingzi away, and took the other palace maids away, only Hongyan and Cherry were left here.

Iparkhan stepped forward to salute again, and Hongyan said bluntly: "I met you here last year, I wonder if I can meet you again this year, is this fate?" ”

Iparkhan's red lips squirmed slightly, and some words were not said in the end, and Hongyan said: "Let's go, I'll send you back to Baoyue Tower." ”

"Yes." Iparkhan finally spoke, and when Hongyan walked forward, he followed behind, the two didn't say anything along the way, and Hongyan also knew that Iparkhan didn't want to let people know outside that she not only understood Chinese, but also spoke Chinese.

The road was quiet, until Cherry stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, it seems that Concubine Ying and Concubine Xin are coming over." Iparkhan, who could understand Chinese, looked tight, glanced in the direction of Cherry's words, and saw that it was indeed Concubine Xin and Concubine Ying, she immediately avoided her gaze.

When the two met, Concubine Ying and Concubine Xin stepped forward to salute, Concubine Ying said: "The concubine and the sister of Concubine Xin have just come from Ningchun Hall, and the concubine now knows how hard the ladies worked back then, and held a birthday banquet, and the concubine felt that she could be ten years old all of a sudden." ”

Hongyan smiled and said nothing, but Concubine Ying turned to Concubine Xin and said: "This is a joke, don't go to the Queen Mother to tell the truth about right and wrong, at this time, the concubine and the noble people are there, and you can't talk nonsense." ”

Because Hongyan was also there, Concubine Xin dealt with it very cautiously, and Concubine Ying suddenly said this, which made her have to worry that Hongyan would also suspect that she was going to chew her tongue in front of the Queen Mother, but when she wanted to defend herself, she found that Concubine Ling ignored her existence at all. The person who did not hesitate to chase her away before was going to send her away, but he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids at the moment, and he didn't look at her at all.

"It's getting late, let's go." Hongyan said softly to Iparkhan, turned to Concubine Ying and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the emperor will definitely praise you when he turns around." ”

"If that's the case, it must be a blessing for the concubine." Concubine Ying said to get out of the way, asking Concubine Ling to go first, and watched Ipar Khan follow without any politeness.

"If it weren't for the emperor's concern about returning to the ministry, if it weren't for the sake of Concubine Ling's face, how could she be so rude? A little nobleman, who doesn't speak Chinese and doesn't wear a flag suit, turned her on the contrary. ”

Concubine Ying disdainfully put down this sentence, unwilling to go with Concubine Xin, and left with her own people, and Concubine Xin stood in place, only then did she seem to smell the smell of incense on Concubine Ling, she glanced at the place where Concubine Ling came, and suddenly remembered what day it was at this time last year, she really forgot that she had drowned her daughter with her own hands.

Of course, it wasn't her flesh and blood, and she hated it from birth.

"Master, let's go back, it's too late, the queen will be unhappy again." Huiyun came forward to persuade, and Concubine Xin hated, "She's really annoying, but without her, I'm finished." ”

Huiyun's heart jumped suddenly, she knew that Concubine Xin hadn't told her a lot of things, so was there such a person who would "avenge" Concubine Xin after she was convicted, Huiyun herself didn't know, Hua Rong asked her to talk, but Huiyun couldn't find a suitable opportunity, and now she is becoming more and more afraid of talking to her master.

At this moment, I heard Concubine Xin say: "How good it would be for Concubine Ling to die, if she dies, I don't have to look at the queen's face anymore." ”

Such a curse, Hongyan can't hear it at the moment, even if she hears it, she won't care, a mad person shouldn't use common sense to restrain her at all, let her stop bothering others, just disappear cleanly. However, it is easy to kill people, it is just a rat trap, Hongyan doesn't want to see what waves are made in the palace because she thinks she is a concubine, but the beautiful woman in front of her is likely to have been implicated a long time ago.

"Concubine Ling, come in and sit down, and the slave will make tea for you." Iparkhan's maid, who can speak fluent Chinese, is also in her thirties, and looks steady and decent. As Iparkhan herself saw with her own eyes, the relieved face she showed when she learned that her old lover would never be in the capital again, and this year has been extremely easy for her.

"Baoyue Building is not allowed to enter the door easily, I can't break the rules, the hour is not early, let's change the day." Hongyan smiled and said that he was leaving.

The sky was already dark, and the Baoyue Tower was lit up layer by layer, standing in the night like a pearl tower, and the emperor really spent a lot of thought. Recently, there has been some misunderstanding between the imperial court and the Hui Department, Hongli often comes to Baoyue Tower, Hongyan was curious in her heart, for the noble man who put her heart on another man, how did she face the emperor, and Hongli couldn't detect that this beauty's mind was not in him? Iparkhan is not as infatuated as the queen, but she is not as deep as the queen.

"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you." Hongyan looked at Ipar Khan and said, "The warriors who returned to the ministry to present to the emperor have been transferred back to the capital again, do you know?" ”

Iparkhan's face changed drastically, he looked around, and asked Hongyan clearly in Chinese: "Guifei Niangniang, are you testing me, didn't you say that you will never let them appear in the capital again." ”

Hongyan shook his head and said, "Because there is something particularly important, I must inquire about something from them, especially the one who has been caught having a private relationship with your maid." ”

Hongyan pointed to the maid behind Ipar Khan, and then said: "Although it is fate, I still don't understand why you go to the water's edge on such a day, I am mourning my son, what about you?" ”

The faces of Iparkhan and the maid changed, and the maid, who had been relaxed all year, became nervous again. Seeing that Ipar Khan was silent, Hongyan said that he was leaving, seeing that Concubine Ling was leaving, the maid pushed the master, and Ipar Khan stumbled up and said: "Concubine Niangniang, it's getting dark, let your palace people send a sedan chair to pick you up, Baoyue Tower is not a place where you can't go in, as long as the concubine is willing, you can come at any time." ”

Hongyan turned to look at her, and then looked up at the light of Baoyue Tower blooming in the dark night, and said with a smile: "When you come here at night, it becomes the most dazzling place in the garden, the emperor protects you from being disturbed by anyone, but he also puts you in everyone's eyes, staring at you all the time, even at night." ”
