Na Yong'er only cared about joy, and didn't pay attention to the concubine's gaze at her, and she was about to retreat after thanking her. Because she took too many things, Cherry sent her to the door, and she told Cherry that she was now following the head of the imperial dining room, and there was no longer a little palace maid to bully her, it was all the kindness of the concubine, and she would remember it.

Cherry came back to tell Hongyan, but saw that the master didn't care much and was even a little distracted, so he couldn't help asking, "What is Niangniang thinking?" ”

Hongyan saw that the place where the beautiful little girl was still kneeling was vacant, so she came back to her senses and said, "She's gone?" ”

Cherry nodded, contacted Fang Cai's matter, observed Hongyan's expression, tried to figure out her thoughts, and asked in a low voice, "Are you thinking about Yong'er?" ”

"It's not just about her." Hongyan smiled bitterly, "It's because I think that the years will not spare people, I will be old after all, and who knows what will happen in the future?" I seem to have gone too far. ”

Cherry half-understood, fortunately, at that time, the four blessings and the five blessings came, distracting Hongyan's thoughts, and when Cherry was ordered to stay outside, she didn't know that the emperor had arrived, and the chief manager of Wu called her before she came back to her senses, Hongli heard that the daughters-in-law were inside, and he was inconvenient to disturb, so he wanted to go to Concubine Shu's house to rest. But when he turned around and remembered that Cherry was in a daze just now, he turned to him and asked him again: "What are you thinking just now?" ”

Cherry sneered and said generously: "In this case, the slave maid asked the master, before the two Fujin came, she was also in a daze." ”

Hongli asked: "What's wrong with her, has something on her mind?" ”

As soon as the cherry eyes rolled, she said lightly: "It's probably the New Year again, the master feels that the years are too fast, and the slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense, why don't you go back and ask?" ”

Manager Wu blamed on the side: "You are becoming more and more errand-like, and you can't answer a few words when Lord Banzai asks you." ”

Cherry smiled: "Although the mother and the slave are close, in the end, they are the master and servant, how can they say anything in their hearts, and naturally they have nothing to say to the long-lived master." ”

Hongli hated her flamboyantly, and then went to Concubine Shu's house, and the two Fujin and Hongyan in this room still have a lot to say. Sifujin is not as refreshing as Qingque, and when he came to Hongyan, he was really timid, and he said three or five times about the parents, and then Qingque couldn't help it, interrupted the words of the fourth sister-in-law, and said to Hongyan: "Guifei Niangniang, the son and the fourth sister-in-law are here to discuss with you that the fourth elder brother wants to make an heir to the prince's mansion." ”

Hongyan smiled gently: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Qingque pulled Sifujin, the two looked at each other a few times, Sifujin finally opened her mouth, but she felt that Qingque had said that the gentle eyes of the concubine made people feel pressure, and she always felt that under the gentle and amiable appearance, it was a somewhat depressing dignity that made people look up. Her voice was small, and she said what the fourth elder brother meant, naturally she would not say that the fourth elder brother did this for Yong Ying's future plans, nor would she say that she was afraid of Concubine Ling's power, but only said that she had a close relationship with Prince Xu, and the poor old prince had no queen and wanted to inherit the incense. And Prince Lu is the son of Kangxi, and he is in the same vein as the first emperor, and he does not live up to the dignity of his own prince and grandson.

Hongyan listened carefully, Sifujin didn't say anything before he stopped, and only waited for the two children to be silent, Hongyan said: "In any case, the fourth elder brother is the emperor's son, and now he says that because of his deep relationship with the old prince, he is pitiful that he will be the descendant of the palace without an heir, and when you talk about it in front of the emperor, what do you think the emperor will think?" Sifujin is the person who is the mother, and the green finch is about to be the mother, if your children come to say in the future, because they have a good relationship with which one, they will be the children of that one, can you stand it? ”

Sifujin's eyes swayed, obviously beginning to waver, and Qingque also lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.

"If the fourth elder brother also resigns to explain to the emperor in this way, or if I turn around and tell the emperor like this, it is the best result for the emperor not to be angry." Hongyan said, "How can there be such a reason, my son came to say that he wants to be someone else's descendant, and he wants to fulfill it happily?" ”

Sifu Jin pursed his lips and said, "What does Niangniang mean, isn't this appropriate?" ”

Hongyan nodded: "It's not that I don't want to help you with this, but the fourth elder brother's idea is too far-fetched, I think it's not just that you can't convince me, but you yourself also feel inexplicable in your hearts, right?" How can you ask the emperor to accept what you can't accept? In my opinion, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it. In contrast, it doesn't matter whether Prince Lu has descendants to inherit the incense, the fourth elder brother doesn't want to be a prince anymore, that's the big deal. ”

Sifu Jin hurriedly said: "That's why I came to ask Niangniang, I want to ask Niangniang to ask Huang Ama what he means." ”

"Silly boy, as soon as you say this, you can't take it back." Hongyan said, "Doesn't the fourth elder brother think about the eighth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother?" No matter who speaks about this, the emperor will definitely be angry, even if he agrees to the request of the fourth elder brother, he will hold his breath. In the future, if you are angry with the eighth and eleventh elder brothers because of this, what will be the case? Natural Emperor Ama is not such a narrow-minded person, but how can a father be good when he is hurt by his own child? If you really have come to discuss with me, listen to me, and let go of this thought first. ”

The reason for coaxing people is not enough to make things happen, but the real reason, how can you say to people, Sifujin knows that this matter is hopeless here for Concubine Ling, she lowered her head and muttered: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to get through here, the fourth elder brother is in a hurry, and he goes straight to Huang Ama to say, at that time, he will ......" Although the little woman is virtuous and capable, she is not as strong as Qingque, her eyes are red for a while, and she choked up and said, "If Niangniang can persuade Yonghui in person, it would be great, and the son went back to say, he may not be willing to listen." ”

Hongyan has experienced so many things at this age, and it can be seen that Sifujin still has things written on his face that cannot be said, and it is precisely because they can't say the real reason that they feel unwilling, but Hongyan guesses that the so-called real reason is something that can never be said.

"If the fourth elder brother has made up his mind, it doesn't matter who says this sooner or later, but if there is a better way to mention this matter, even if the emperor is unhappy, there will be a way to solve it." Hongyan said, "In any case, the prince can't personally propose not to be a prince, you might as well discuss with the old prince, and after a while, the old prince will propose to the emperor that if you want to choose the royal children in the royal family to inherit the incense, it can only be the emperor who makes his son an heir, and you must not reverse it." ”

Qingque asked, "Then when the time comes, can Niangniang ...... Help us? ”

We? Hongyan listened to Qingque's words and smiled slightly. The daughters-in-law of the two emperors in front of them are all good people, gentle and demure husbands and children, and they will be important figures in the royal family in the future, but they are young now, no matter how smart and capable they are, they are high-minded but shallow-minded, and they will all show their faces when they are in a hurry.

"When the time comes, let's discuss it again, listen to me now, go back and persuade the fourth elder brother to let go of this thought, the emperor has a lot of troubles recently, add you again, my son will not have so many scruples, I am not afraid that he will understand anger and teach the fourth elder brother a lesson?" Hongyan's expression was gentle and amiable, she really wanted to make the two children more relaxed, but Qingque and Sifujin both felt that behind these gentle eyes was the unfathomable courage of the concubine.

I thought that this matter could have a result today, I didn't want Qingque and Sifujin to come together, and returned in vain as usual, when I left the world and a family in the spring, I heard that the emperor came here halfway to rest in Concubine Shu's house, Sifujin said fearfully: "The emperor shouldn't hear what we say, right?" ”

Qingque shook his head, and Sifujin asked again: "Will Concubine Ling refuse us here, but turn around and tell the emperor everything?" ”

"Then I don't think the concubine will be like this, not to mention that if the emperor is angry, then it must be what she said, and she still intends to deny it? Why bother. Qingque did not doubt Concubine Ling's character, but she was also worried, "We think we are smart, but Niangniang can't say a word in front of us." ”

In Concubine Shu's house, when she heard that her daughter-in-law was gone, she came to urge the emperor and asked her to go to Hongyan's side. Hongli was lying comfortably, unwilling to understand, lazy to respond: "It's just half an hour younger, and there is another entertainment for a while, you are so impatient." ”

Concubine Shu sat on the edge of the kang, had to pull a blanket for the emperor to cover her body, and said and laughed without scruples: "The concubines are still looking forward to today's festival, and the family is more lively, the emperor is here, they can only wait outside to be cold, and they have to wait for you to go back to Shaojingxuan before they can come." ”

Hongli ignored her, she knew Concubine Shu's temper, she had long lost the heart to compete for favor for so many years, and she treated herself very casually, but it was also this casualness, so that the emperor would feel comfortable, knowing that Concubine Shu had no expectations for herself, so she didn't care about paying. At this moment, he half-squinted his eyes and said: "You want to see them on weekdays, when I don't want you, I have to squeeze today." He paused, but suddenly asked, "Yongying is feeling better this time?" ”

In the previous days, Yongying was thinking about his mother, and he wanted to seek justice for his mother, although this matter was suppressed by the fourth elder brother, but everyone in the palace knew that the emperor vaguely felt that this had something to do with Hongyan, and now that everything is too peaceful, Yongying is fine, so he is even more reluctant to care.

"He has always been good, why did the emperor ask about this?" Concubine Shu said, "Did he do something wrong, did the concubine be negligent?" ”

Hongli waved his hand lightly: "You taught well, Fukangan and Yongzheng are good." Fukangan has grown up, Xiao Qike'er is a girl, it is not appropriate to be in one place, and the child will be sent back to Fucha Mansion after the New Year. ”

Concubine Shu said: "Didn't you say that you were sent away at the age of ten?" ”

Hongli smiled: "The virtual age is also ten years old, don't you always say that it is hard to bring two children?" It's time to be idle, I will take you out in the first month, and we will go to Jiangnan for a walk. ”

"Go to Jiangnan, then dare to be kind." Concubine Shu said happily, "Why didn't the concubine hear Hongyan mention it." ”

Hongli smiled: "I just remembered, I told you first, she doesn't know yet." ”

Concubine Shu sighed: "What's going on, the emperor is not afraid of his sister's jealousy?" ”

The emperor ignored her, but what he was thinking about was not going to Jiangnan, but that he should really send Fukangan away, otherwise this kid would follow Yongyan in the future, wouldn't he be opposed to Yongyan?
