Concubine Jia left, and the other concubines also dispersed one after another, some people said that the Empress Dowager Fang blamed Concubine Ling, and some people stared at Concubine Xin up and down. The clothes that Concubine Xin wore were still palace robes that she didn't wear in the old years, she naturally wore them, and she didn't think about what the problems would be, but fortunately, there were only a handful of concubines in the palace who gave birth, and those who knew everything like Concubine Jia were a minority.

Concubine Xin supported all the way back to Chengqian Palace, as soon as the door of the dormitory was closed, her legs were weak, Huiyun helped the master to sit down, the little princess in the cradle suddenly woke up, the child at this time did not cry, but the child cried, it seemed to stimulate Concubine Xin's nerves, making her tense and her eyes full of anger.

has not experienced the pain of childbirth, has no natural love for children, and because of this girl, the queen mother abandoned her, Concubine Xin has no other feelings for this little life except disgust, not to mention that she thought she could end the days of worry, but Concubine Jia was still entangled.

Huiyun was afraid that her master would be angry, so she immediately called the nurse to take the little princess away, but Concubine Xin was still stimulated, and when she came back, she was asked: "When will this child stop crying?" Huiyun hurriedly said: "It's good to grow up, in the blink of an eye, you look at the princess in the palace, they all grow up in a blink of an eye." ”

Concubine Xin grabbed Huiyun's arm tightly, her eyes steaming with murderous aura: "It's better to let her die, her life is evidence that I did something wrong, anyway, it's a girl, the queen mother doesn't look at her properly, and the emperor doesn't like it, what are you doing with her?" If I die, will I still have some sympathy? ”

But at this moment, the little princess's cry came again, I don't know how the nurse coaxed her, but the more she cried, the more sad she became, as if she knew that her life was being threatened, and her crying stimulated the concubine even more, and she also cried later, and only quieted down when she was exhausted.

In the Yanxi Palace in front of her, Hongyan didn't talk to anyone after she came back, although she looked down on the Queen Mother's meanness over the years, she didn't practice King Kong to be indestructible, and some of them are also as soft as ordinary people, the Queen Mother disregarded her face today, accused her of indiscretion in front of so many people, thinking that she had been honored and proud in recent years, and she couldn't bear it for a while.

She begged Concubine Shu to take the Buddha to play, she wanted to be alone and quiet, but Concubine Shu didn't persuade her, but only said: "The uncomfortable person is the old lady, and you are not comfortable with a few words for her, can you do it?" The more she is like this, the more we have to live a wonderful life and not be angry with her. ”

Hongyan didn't say anything, locked herself in the room, thought for a long time and then turned out the things that Ruyin gave her from the most private place, and carefully burned them in the incense burner. ”

Hongyan shook her head: "It'll be fine after a while, I have to slow down, I have to be said like that, if I can still argue for myself in the past, but ......" She reflected to herself, "The emperor is not young, I should indeed be more considerate." ”

Cherry smiled and coaxed her to be happy: "A man's body is originally stronger than a woman, and the fourteenth master we went to see last time didn't he give birth to a girl after the age of sixties?" ”

Hongyan said angrily: "You girl, what nonsense? But when she said that, looking at the beautiful cherry, thinking that she was the same age as Princess Hejing, and that Hejing was the mother of two children, and Cherry was no longer a little girl, she sighed lightly, "It's okay, don't worry about me." ”

And Concubine Ling was condemned in public in Ningshou Palace, it was impossible for the emperor not to know, but fortunately, the Queen Mother did not do anything excessive, and Hongli would not break into Ningshou Palace to theorize for Hongyan. On this day, I rested the court affairs early, and took Mr. Wu to Yanxi Palace, and met people from the Internal Affairs Office on the way to send silver bone charcoal to Chengqian Palace, knowing that it was because Chengqian Palace added a princess, and I was afraid that the princess would catch a cold, so I sent charcoal earlier than other palaces, and it was all good, Hongli thought about it, and bypassed Yanxi Palace to Chengqian Palace.

Concubine Xin didn't expect the emperor to come to Chengqian Palace at all, she felt that she had been forgotten a long time ago. When the emperor came, the nurse was coaxing the little princess who had just eaten, and the child who didn't cry or make trouble was very cute, but he reached out to hug it, and the child suddenly cried again, and this time he cried so much that he spit out the milk he had just eaten, and almost soiled the emperor's dragon robe.

Hongli has a lot of children under his knees, and it is not the first time he has experienced such a thing, he doesn't care about it, but Concubine Xin was frightened, and her cautious and slightly panicked appearance made Hongli feel embarrassed, and he politely said a few words and gave a few instructions, and left.

Xin Concubine went all the way to the palace gate, and the emperor left without looking back, and the little eunuch in front of the door came to tell him soon that the emperor had gone to Yanxi Palace. She looked up, and there was a palace wall in front and back, the difference between heaven and earth, and there was a faint cry of a baby in her ears, and her hand holding the door almost sank her nails into the wood.

On this side, the emperor hurriedly came to Yanxi Palace, and said that he wanted to change his clothes, and Cherry quickly took the emperor's usual clothes that he put here on weekdays, and when Hongyan came out, Cherry was buttoning up for the emperor, and she retreated when she saw the master coming. But Hongli didn't plan to do it himself, Hongyan saw him standing there motionless, so he could only tie the buttons on his shirt for him.

"What's the smell in your house?" Hongli asked.

"What does it smell like?" Hongyan was not angry, but said, "I just hugged the little princess, isn't the little doll fragrant and soft." ”

Hongli said: "I am stopping by to have a look, are you unhappy?" Didn't you advise me to care more about that child? ”

Hongyan put away his hand, went to the door and ordered the palace people to serve tea, the emperor walked inside by himself, and when Hongyan took the tea and came in, he saw him squatting by the incense burner, and looked up and asked her: "Cherry said that I saw you burning something in the house, what did you burn?" ”

"It's nothing, the emperor came up for tea." Hongyan rushed the boiled tea soup into the bowl, and more than a dozen bright red wolfberries rose and fell, and she was still drinking the tea sent by Concubine Wen Hui in the house, and she was used to it over the years. Even if Hongli didn't drink it for a few days, he would be worried, he smelled the fragrance and came over, and said good-naturedly, "I know that you are wronged, and the Queen Mother is mean to you again." ”

"The concubine burned those things." Hongyan said, "It's not good to be a concubine, you should think about your body and be more restrained." ”

Hongli didn't know what it was for a while, but he went back to the incense burner and looked at it, saw a corner of the purse that had not been burned out, and then thought about what Hongyan said, and came back with a smile and asked, "Those?" ”

Hongyan ignored him, turned around with the tea bowl, and slowly drank the tea from the child, before the autumn day was replenished, the hot tea was really comfortable to drink, and he heard Hongli's gentle words: "Don't be angry, the Queen Mother is like that, she is in a hurry to say that kind of thing to you, if the spring breeze is proud, I can't take care of you." ”

"The concubine is like the worst daughter-in-law in the world, and I want you to say such things." Hongyan also knows that she has a lot of shortcomings, she doesn't force the queen mother to be, or the emperor how, but she doesn't know how to solve it, the emperor sent it to the door to coax her, and couldn't help but say, "But the emperor too, on the way back, I told you not to be greedy, and when you get up, you drink herbal tea when you sweat, and you fall down when you come back, isn't it?" If you don't say that people bring tea and water to serve you, you will be blamed like that by the Queen Mother, and in private, in front of so many people......"

Hongyan babbled and said, Hongli listened patiently, the emperor bothered like this, Hongyan was embarrassed to say more, the two snuggled up to the warmth, Hongli said: "I think about it, it really makes you toss hard in the Mulan paddock, although I am so happy to laugh when I think about it, but my body still has to be tight." After a month, I can't enter the harem, you occasionally come to the Heart Cultivation Hall to sit, since the Queen Mother cares about me so much, I don't touch anyone with a pure heart and few desires. Isn't she glad to see such a situation, and when she thinks it is inappropriate, she will take back everything she has said to you today. ”

Hongyan didn't know what to say, she looked at the emperor in a daze, Hongli thought that she didn't believe herself, and promised: "In the next month, I won't get close to women, and the weather is not cold and no one will warm the bed. ”

"The emperor swears an oath, but people don't believe it." Hongyan finally smiled, fell into his arms and said, "What else is Wei Hongyan not satisfied with?" ”

After that day, the emperor ordered the internal affairs office not to present the meal card, and lived in the Qianqing Palace with a pure heart, and the queen mother still watched it as a joke for a day or two, but the emperor has not moved day by day, and even the birthday of the concubine of the Double Ninth Festival did not go to Yanxi Palace, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of September, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the palaces began to burn the earth dragon, and the holy car still did not enter the harem.

In the past, even if there were a few favored emperors, others could still see the emperor more or less, so long as a month without seeing the king, everyone had no chance, and the harem gradually complained, and then I remembered that the queen mother blamed Concubine Ling in public that day and did not know how to restrain herself, although Concubine Ling lost face, but the emperor reined in this time, and they were all miserable.

In this way, this resentment is naturally directed at the queen mother, the longer the emperor coldly treats the harem, the greater the queen mother's sin, she made Hongyan embarrassed in front of the concubines, and now she has returned it to her as it was.

Hongyan talked to Ruyin in private, feeling that she was guilty of making the mother and son like this, but Ruyin said: "If the old lady doesn't bully you, and loves you like a baby, can you serve her like a mother and be filial to her?" Could it be that she tortured you in every possible way, and you still have to repay your grievances with virtue? The emperor doesn't have such a heart, what is my sister going to do? ”

Until the beginning of October, when the Queen Mother gradually wavered, the emperor suddenly had a whim, saying that he would go to Wutai Mountain to pray for the Queen Mother's birthday, and go back and forth for more than ten days, and instructed Concubine Yu and Hongyan to get ready, and when they came back, they would set up a banquet for the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday.

The emperor went out alone, but only half an hour after the holy car left the Forbidden City that day, news reached Ningshou Palace, and the emperor made a temporary move before going out and took Concubine Ling Niangniang away.
