Hongyan's head was heavy and weak, and when he heard that someone would continue to do the follow-up to the wedding, he couldn't keep his spirits up anymore when he was relieved, but he couldn't see the emperor worried, and smiled gently: "Don't worry, the emperor just needs to rest for a few days, just to recruit you to love and pity, so I'm sick." The daughter has just gotten married, and the emperor should be happy. ”

"He Jing got married smoothly, and I also put down a big thing, in order not to worry the queen mother and the queen, I suppressed some things in the court. At present, there are many big and small commotions in Jinchuan, money and grain in Jiangsu, and confrontation between people and localities in many places in Fujian and Shanxi, and there are still many important things to be done in my heart. The emperor frowned, covered the quilt for Hongyan, and admonished, "I don't expect you to take care of the affairs of the six palaces, as long as you are healthy and healthy, so that I can have a place of peace of mind, and I am tired to be greeted by you in front of the door, and I am accompanied by hot tea and rice, what else can I not bear?" ”

Hongyan saw that the emperor was worried about the world, and he was unable to share it, so he could only feel distressed: "The emperor takes care of his body, and the concubines will definitely be fine in a few days." ”

At this time, the cherry sent the medicine, the emperor asked if the medicine was reliable, I heard that it was He Taiyi who caught it and sent it personally, and the cherries were boiled every inch, so he was relieved to let Hongyan drink, picked her up and leaned on his body, watching her drink it one by one, the bitter breath made people frown, Hongli thought of the queen mother's medicine under Hongyan, which might cause her lifelong infertility, and his heart ached and hated.

"I don't have many brothers, Hongzhan is not reliable, the prince is still young, and the eldest brother is also frizzy, I have been the emperor for twelve years, and I can't choose a few brothers and heirs who can write and martial arts, and now there are several princes, only Yongqi is smart and sensible." Hongli sighed, "It will be difficult for Yongcong in the future, and I hope that he can have a few reliable brothers to support him." ”

When Hongyan heard this, she knew that the emperor lamented that they had no children, and Hongyan knew that the emperor was not blaming her, he felt sorry for himself more than anyone else, but when he said this, it was sad after all. She lay on the emperor's chest and was silent, and Hongli sat with her for half an hour before leaving. After taking medicine and drowsiness, day and night reversed, and when Hongyan felt that his body was relaxed and his head was clear, it was three or four days later.

That day, Concubine Yu came to visit Hongyan, she tied her forehead on her head to prevent the wind, hugged a thick velvet blanket and sat under the window to bask in the sun, at first glance, she looked like a confinement mother, but such a joke can be said to others, and she can't say anything to Hongyan, so Concubine Yu only asked: "I heard that you have a bad appetite, can you eat the pickled radish I sent?" ”

Hongyan was grateful: "Those exquisite pickles in the palace, you can only look at them, where is there a delicious pickle from Niangniang, and I ate an extra bowl of porridge this morning." I'm just afraid that I'm not done eating, so I asked my mother to give me more. ”

Concubine Yu smiled: "What is that worth, I don't like to eat those fools made in the imperial dining room, it is delicious to make it myself, and I have been idle for the past two days." Having said that, Concubine Yu said, "In the past few days, Concubine Xian has taken over your affairs, and I wanted to help her, but Concubine Xian Niangniang is from a noble background, and she has cultivated it in a small family, so she put away all the things at the wedding banquet in two days, and all the things you want for the return ceremony are ready, but I am idle." This morning, the sixth palace asked for peace in Ningshou Palace, and the queen mother praised her. ”

Hongyan played with the Luban lock in her hand to pass the time, and when she heard this, she turned her eyes back to the lock, sure enough, there would be no shortage of anyone in this palace, and then she could push off the affairs of the sixth palace with peace of mind and raise the Buddha wholeheartedly.

"But the Queen Mother praised today, I don't know what will happen in a few days, and after she dispersed, she told me that Concubine Xian is only responsible for the princess's return to the door for a banquet, and I still have to take care of the affairs in the palace." Concubine Yu sighed lightly, "I know, she is afraid that Concubine Xian will be in a high position and will not be able to take it in the future." As for me, it's been like this for the rest of my life. ”

The queen mother's method of governing the six palaces, Hongyan figured it out by herself, and Concubine Yu also told her a lot. The queen mother is actually very simple, she pins everything in the six palaces on the throne of the middle palace, as long as the queen is not threatened by anything, then the world must be peaceful, even if the concubines under you fight to the death, as long as no one threatens the queen, everything is easy to say. And Hongyan is a threat to the queen in the eyes of the queen mother, which makes Hongyan very helpless, and so is the emperor.

Hongyan put down the Luban lock, seeing that she hadn't had tea for a long time, she couldn't help but blame the palace people, Concubine Yu said that she didn't drink tea, and said softly after retiring from the palace maid: "The court has been tight these days, and the princess's marriage has been lively for a few months, and I think the world is peaceful, but I heard that it looks like a war." ”

Hongyan knew that it was the big and small Jinchuan that gave the emperor a headache, thinking about the money spent on Hejing's wedding this time, I don't know if the emperor's military expenses for this war will give him a headache, and she also said to Hejing that day, the most difficult thing is the family and the country, and compare with the major events of the court, what are these troubles in the harem. The women are pampered, and no one expects them to worry about the world, but they still have to break their heads for a little favor. Hongyan secretly warned herself that she must not become such a stupid person in the future, she can't help the emperor above the government, and there is always a bowl of hot tea and a few words of comfort.

"Jiangsu is not very peaceful, and it is necessary to accumulate money and food and prevent disasters." Concubine Yu is very popular in the palace, and she can quickly know anything outside, but she just asks for an understanding, and she will not go around instigating right and wrong, but she always doesn't know anything about Hongyan, so she kindly came to tell her something, and said at this moment, "The emperor sent Ama Gaobin of Huixian Imperial Concubine to dredge the rivers in Liutang and other places in Jiangsu, and it was said outside that the Gao family had no imperial concubine, and there was no imperial brother to support, and now it ended up with some thankless drudgery, and Old Man Gao was impeached before, which is really pitiful." ”

Hongyan suddenly remembered that Concubine Chun's clansmen were suspected of fraud and corruption in the Internal Affairs Office, and his father Su Zhaonan was impeached by Liu Tongxun, and asked Concubine Yu if she knew what happened later, and Concubine Yu forgot about it, but she had someone to inquire about the news, and when she came to visit Hongyan again the next day, she told her that this time Su Zhaonan was sent to Jiangsu with Lord Gao, and there was no crime to be punished, but such a hard errand should be done well, and if it is not done well, the emperor will have something to say.

At the beginning, it was Hongyan's words, and she sent the matter out to Fu Heng to find out, so that the clansmen of the pure concubine were involved, although this is justice, but Hongyan also reflected on whether she was too impulsive, and the inextricable connection between the front and the harem, she pushed it out to check without asking clearly, and now it is involving the pure concubine, she Wei Hongyan can still afford it, in case it is found on the head of the queen mother, or on the head of the prince and other clan children, what should I do?

It's not that she is selfish and afraid that she won't be able to provoke these people, but she is afraid that the emperor will be embarrassed in the middle, and if something big happens, it will be out of control, and it will cause trouble to Fu Heng, she can't lose justice, but she should think clearly before making a move.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Concubine Yu say: "The emperor asked the ministers who to recommend to solve the matter of Jinchuan, and I heard that the queen's younger brother, Lord Fucha, was very loud. ”

Hongyan heard that Fu Heng might have to go to war, and she couldn't help but worry about Ruyin. Ruyin often says that Fu Hengzhi is in the world, and that a real man should be on the battlefield in blood, but Ruyin is a woman, and she only wishes her husband and son to be safe and the family is reunited, where can she be willing to Fu Heng to fight.

I don't know how this matter will develop, if Fu Heng insists on going, Ruyin will not drag him back, but in the days to come, Ruyin will definitely be uneasy, and Hongyan must appease her well.

The matter of sending troops to pacify Jinchuan has not yet been decided, and the officials who went to Jiangsu for disaster prevention are about to leave, in the end, it is their biological father, Concubine Chun Guifei called her family into the palace to meet her, she asked directly to Changchun Palace, and the queen naturally agreed to her, so that the father and daughter of the Su family could meet.

In the past, when the pure concubine was favored, the Su family was infinitely beautiful, and Su Zhaonan was promoted to an official position by the emperor, and the family entered the official career. Now that her daughter is a noble concubine, she has two princes and a princess under her knees, but Xianfu Palace is cold and lonely, and the children of the Su family encounter those troubles, and the pure concubine can't say half a word in front of the emperor, and is blamed and humiliated by the queen mother in public.

When the father and daughter saw each other, they were full of emotion, the four-year-old sixth elder brother was delicate and cute, but he was not familiar with his grandfather and refused to get close, Su Zhaonan sighed with emotion: "I heard that the third elder brother is often blamed by the emperor for not making progress in learning, and the mother should think more about it." ”

Concubine Chun sighed: "My natural qualifications are not as good as others, and it is useless for me to teach, but Yongying is better than his brother, and I hope that Ama will find a good master for him, and he can cultivate him in the future." ”

Su Zhaonan waved his hand again and again and said: "Niangniang is bothered in the inner palace, but the minister is being targeted outside, the Fucha family is bent on protecting the future of the seventh elder brother, and only regards the other elder brothers as a thorn in the side, Liu Tongxun's old puppet bites our Su family, that is, he is instructed by the Fucha family, for fear that the third elder brother and the sixth elder brother will have something to do in the future." ”

Concubine Chun's always cold face revealed her ugly greed, and she said hatefully: "They have the ability to raise the seventh elder brother first, what's the matter, my elder brother is not a prince?" If the queen didn't have a seventh elder brother, wouldn't she have to choose from the princes who came out? She turned her sharp gaze and asked her father again, "On Concubine Jia's side, there are also two princes and five elder brothers." Why don't they stare at us? ”

Su Zhaonan smiled bitterly: "There must be someone staring at it, but Concubine Yu's clan is far away in the grassland, which one will help her, Concubine Jia's ancestors are Koreans, and the Manchu and Han ministers are unwilling to help, in comparison, our third elder brother and sixth elder brother have a greater chance." ”

Concubine Chun said coldly: "It's ridiculous, my Xianfu Palace is so desolate that grass is about to grow, where is the opportunity?" As soon as the emperor saw Yongzhang, he blamed him and forgot about Yongzhang completely......" she said viciously, "How much he liked Yongzhang in the past, it was all because of the prince, if there was no seventh elder brother, it would be better." ”

Su Zhaonan looked around in a panic and reminded: "Niangniang must not move these thoughts, but if there is anything, the first thing they think of is definitely us, even if we don't do anything, we can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River." ”
