Seeing that Fu Heng was calm, Hongyan also calmed down, and said with a smile: "The queen is waiting, my lord is invited." ”

Fu Heng bowed silently, still asked Hongyan to go first, Hongyan smiled faintly, and then led the palace people away, and then Fu Heng straightened up, without looking in the direction of Hongyan's departure, and went straight to the palace.

All this, the queen stood under the window with the seventh elder brother in her arms and could see it clearly, her younger brother is now more and more generous, she is not worried about what will happen between these two people, she is afraid that one day someone will turn over old accounts and give birth to something that is not in the past, in the end, the fault is her at the beginning, these two people may have let go a long time ago, but she can't let go.

Fu Heng came into the palace, saluted and greeted, and talked about the princess's wedding in a proper manner. Although He Jing had two older sisters, but they all died young, she was the eldest daughter of the emperor, and the emperor had allocated countless gold and silver to organize a grand wedding for his daughter. Although the queen saw the first emperor marry the princess when she was young, most of the first emperor's daughters were inherited from the prince's palace, how to compare with her harmony, and how the scale of this marriage was grand, the queen did not understand.

Fu Heng referred to the specifications of the wedding of Prince Yunren of Kangxi, as well as the scale of the marriage of Princess Wen Xian, the sister of the first emperor, which was three points lower than the specifications of the prince, and far above Princess Wen Xian.

The queen gave her son to the nursing mother, and took it to take a closer look, the words are real money and silver like water, and the queen lives a simple life in the world, not decorated with pearls and jades, that is just after the death of Yonglian, the queen dresses low-key in order to mourn her son, thinking that she was born in a rich and noble family, and has been a toy since she was a child, how can she not understand the way of wealth and wealth. Even so, I had to sigh that my daughter's wedding was too expensive, and I put together the excerpt and asked my younger brother: "You come to ask me first, and then ask the emperor, is it a trespass to the way of the monarch and the minister?" It's better to wait for the emperor to show me, I'm adding or subtracting one or two. ”

Fu Heng said: "It was supposed to be presented directly to the emperor, but the emperor instructed the ministers to come and ask the mother first." ”

The queen said: "I don't have anything to add, it's just too extravagant, if you can subtract some of it." She remembered the attitude of the Queen Mother in the morning, and said with a smile, "The old lady has already set her sights on our Fucha family, and the meaning of the words in the morning is that she does not want Yongcong to marry a wife from her grandfather's family in the future." I hope that Ruyin can give birth to a little girl to be my daughter-in-law, I don't know if I can have this fate in the future. ”

"Since ancient times, the emperor was jealous of his relatives, and it is not an exaggeration for the Queen Mother to think like this, although the Queen Mother's surname is Niu Hulu, she is just a small family with the same surname." Fu Heng was also disdainful, but he didn't show his face, but just elaborated, "If the Queen Mother is from the Niu Hulu family, it must be another mentality, but she must not want the future Fujin of the Seventh Elder Brother to come from the Fucha family, which is not unusual." ”

"You can see it." The queen said, "But I still have to go back and remind the clansmen, don't be arrogant, the glory and wealth of my Fucha family have reached the peak, but the shadow of the fifth generation, no longer have ambition to swell, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the long-term way." ”

Fu Heng bowed down to receive the order and said, "The minister obeys the order and will live up to the trust of the mother." ”

The queen returned the excerpt to him, and said casually: "In the inner palace, the princess's wedding, I have appointed the concubine to help, maybe you will have some contact in the future, if there is any inconvenience, you can send Ruyin to convey, she is smart and delicate, there will be no mistakes." ”

Fu Heng's heart is like stopping water, even if his sister mentions Hongyan, it will not make waves, when he hides his sweetheart in the deepest depths, he only needs to protect it silently, and what others say or do, he will not be shaken.

The queen said: "The wedding of Hejing is close to the day of Yongcong's first birthday, and the royal consumption is very great, so it is really not appropriate to be so extravagant and wasteful for my children, I will ask the emperor not to hold a feast for the seventh elder brother, and you should also advise the emperor when the time comes." ”

Fu Heng took the orders one by one and explained these things, and the sisters and brothers had nothing else to say, even if they were brothers and sisters, hugging and crying when they complained to each other that day could not happen often, and now it is not a bad thing to get along with each other like this. If the queen mentions a few family matters, Fu Heng can also answer, and there is no estrangement between sisters and brothers, so she is satisfied.

Leaving the Changchun Palace, Fu Heng walked against the root of the palace wall, even if he did not live in the Forbidden City, he also deeply felt that the Forbidden City was not as good as the Old Summer Palace, here everywhere was depressed and restrained, thinking that the Forbidden City was originally a majestic palace building, but people in it, but they were only bound to the palace wall between the small existence.

The eunuch leading the way in front suddenly stopped, Fu Heng thought about his thoughts, and almost bumped into it, the eunuch confessed repeatedly, and said to Fu Heng: "Wait a minute, my lord, the sedan chair of the concubine is coming." ”

Fu Heng frowned slightly, and waited with him on the side of the road, but when he saw a warm sedan car approaching slowly, he really stopped in front of him, and Concubine Xian opened the curtain from the window and said politely: "Uncle Guo is here." ”

"Xian Guifei Niangniang is auspicious." Fu Heng curtsied, unwilling to face up to Concubine Xian, but Rao was like this, and people still asked him, "It's Layue, I don't know if the second master's family will return to Beijing for the New Year. When I was a child, when I came to Fucha's house for the holidays, it was so lively and prosperous that there were so many people that I couldn't recognize it. ”

"The second brother's family will not return to Beijing for the time being, and the second brother's concubine Xinna is pregnant and has to take care of her childbirth." This was made up by Fu Heng casually, he didn't mean anything else, he just wanted Concubine Xian to understand that Fucha Fu Qing had his own life, and he could like a lot of women, but he didn't have anything for Concubine Xian.

And these words really made Concubine Xian's face change, and she asked embarrassedly: "The second master has married a new lady again?" ”

Fu Heng said: "It's just a concubine who warms the bed, not a lady." ”

Hua Rong was on the side, seeing that both sides were so embarrassed, and her mother, as a concubine, stopped the sedan chair and said so many words to the minister, so she smiled and said a few congratulations, and said that Xian Guifei still had something to go first, and without waiting for the master to react, let the sedan chair go forward again.

When Fu Heng got up again, he glanced at the group of people who were leaving, and he didn't know if what he said just now was right or wrong, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xian Guifei, infatuated lovers are like this, she was forced to marry the emperor, if there was a choice, it was probably a concubine who was a bed warmer, and she was also willing to follow her second brother.

And Concubine Xian's sedan chair was originally from Shoukang Palace to invite An back and happened to meet Fu Heng, but she heard Fu Heng say such a thing, Concubine Xian did not suspect that Fu Heng had ulterior motives, just when what he said was true, but wasn't it, Brother Fu Qingge's heart was never on her, and for more than ten years, it was just her wishful thinking.

The sedan chair stopped outside the gate of Yikun Palace, and the eunuch lifted the sedan curtain to ask the lady to get off the sedan chair, but there was no movement in the sedan chair for a long time, Hua Rong asked them all to retreat, and he lifted the sedan curtain to come in to see, but saw the master with a sad look on his face full of tears, and he was sad when he saw Hua Rong: "What am I?" ”

Hua Rong persuaded bitterly: "Niangniang, let's go back first, and then we'll talk about it when we go back." ”

After Fu Heng left the palace, the Ministry of Rites and the officials discussed the specifications of the princess's wedding again, and finally decided to hand it to the emperor at the next day's court meeting, and when the emperor nodded, everything would be officially prepared. For the sake of his career and future, for the happiness of Hejing, Fu Heng dealt with this matter more carefully than before, and having Ruyin, a virtuous helper, at home, was also like a tiger.

However, when she returned on this day, Fu Heng told his wife about her meeting Concubine Xian, Ruyin thought for a while, and said embarrassedly: "If I tell the truth, don't be angry." ”

"What are you angry about?" Fu Heng asked rhetorically.

"In my opinion, you shouldn't have said those things to Concubine Xian, why should you provoke her sorrow? Whether it's love or hate, it's all entangled, maybe the two places have been separated for a long time, and Concubine Xian has become indifferent, but you mention this matter, so that she is sad and enthusiastic, what should I do if my originally weak heart is rekindled. Ruyin said solemnly, "Don't do it again next time." ”

Fu Heng was already contradictory about right and wrong afterwards, and when he heard his wife say that he was doing more, he couldn't help but feel heavy and lost, but he didn't expect him to do something wrong with his kindness, not to blame his wife for speaking out, but to annoy his immaturity.

But Ruyin saw her calm face, thinking that she had said too much, so she hurriedly stepped forward and coaxed: "I just said that, Concubine Xing Xian didn't forget it at all, and she didn't care about what you said, don't blame yourself, don't ...... Don't blame me. ”

Fu Heng hurriedly restrained his emotions and said gently: "How could I blame you, it was to blame myself for being useless, and I didn't calm down." ”

Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't say anything next time, Concubine Xian is not bad, we don't need to force her into a desperate situation, she just can't forget, if she really has other thoughts, something will happen a long time ago." ”

Fu Heng was worried, but there was a delicate wife on the side to comfort softly, and gradually relaxed, mentioning the princess's marriage, saying that the queen appointed Concubine Ling as a deputy to take care of the affairs of the inner palace, and then Fu Heng had to have contact with Concubine Ling, but the ministers should not interact with the concubines, he hoped that if there was anything, Ruyin could pass it on for her.

Saying these words, Fu Heng was frank and open, not embarrassed, Ruyin could feel her husband's sincerity, and for the sake of Hejing's marriage, she must try her best to help, but she mentioned worriedly: "The relationship between the Queen Mother and Sister Hongyan has eased, don't go wrong for these things, this 10,000 taels of real money in and out, my sister must calculate it clearly." ”

Fu Heng knows in his heart that he will never let Hongyan carry anything, but this wedding costs a lot of money, and there is oil and water to be fished in every link, it is often said that the cook does not steal grains and is not abundant, Fu Heng has also taken some small greedy things lightly over the years, but now it involves countless gold and silver, Fu Heng himself must be careful, I hope that there will be no mistakes in the inner palace.

Ruyin said: "I haven't experienced such a big event, you just have to ask me to pass it on, and you must be thoughtful everywhere." ”
