The queen covered her face with a fan and whispered in Hongli's ear, the emperor couldn't help laughing, and reached out to hit her, naturally she was reluctant and would not be heavy, the queen dodged lightly, and saw that he was in a better mood, so she said: "Do you know that Fu Heng took Ruyin to Yingtai to ask for peace today?" ”

When it comes to Yingtai, Hongli can't help but be tempted, but seeing that the queen is generous, why should he worry too much, and said: "I heard him mention it, but I don't know if it's today, but how can I think of taking his Fujin to ask for peace?" ”

The queen took the reason on herself, and said with a smile: "This is what I meant, Hongyan didn't have any good sisters in the palace to get along closely, and they can talk to Shu Concubine and Lu Guiren in terms of age, I think if Ruyin can tune in from it and let Hongyan and Shu Concubine get along, it will be a good thing for the harem and the emperor in the future." Shu Concubine's pride is from the family, and her heart is not bad at all, if you can get along with Hongyan, you and I can worry less. Moreover, the emperor's mother now likes Shu Concubine, and she may be able to change her prejudice against her red face. People will be picked up sooner or later, we can't help but prepare in advance, will there be storms in the future? ”

Hongli was grateful and very guilty: "In the end, you are still thoughtful." ”

The queen glanced at him: "Are you slapping me in the face, I caused the trouble at the beginning, is it possible that you still plan to ask someone else to take care of it for you?" ”

Hongli smiled, and said with disgust: "Am I getting old, and I have to be talked about by you every day?" ”

The queen smiled: "If you can have white hair and eyebrows, I will definitely not dislike you." ”

Outside the door, Hejing did not take a nap sleepy, wanted to see what Huang Ama and Eniang were doing, heard laughter at the door, and stopped for a while, since Wei Hongyan left the palace, Huang Ama and Eniang seemed to be more affectionate than before, but Hejing understood that Hongyan would come back sooner or later, but there were also young concubines in the palace, such as Shu Concubine and Lu Guiren, why she couldn't tolerate the red face. Looking back at the empty palace courtyard under the scorching sun, even eunuchs and palace maids are rare on hot days, she is lonely, she once had a good playmate like Hongyan, she is not unable to tolerate Hongyan, but she will never meet a playmate who can make her happy.

"Let's take a nap." He Jing sighed, after all, he was reluctant to disturb his parents, and turned around and left.

The summer is scorching, the emperor does not go out to escape the heat this year, the concubines are hiding in their respective palaces, for fear that the sun will burn the tender skin, and the body of the concubine in the Chuxiu Palace is not very good, she is always too cold in winter to get sick, too hot in summer to get sick, for many years everyone is accustomed to it, and the hospital can not diagnose any major symptoms, always warm and cold.

On this day, Yu Concubine withdrew from Ningshou Palace, the fifth elder brother was full of energy, and he must not be quiet when he went home, so Yu Concubine simply took him out for a walk, and walked to Chuxiu Palace, holding his son to ask for peace to the concubine.

The concubine loves Yongqi very much, but she is also worried: "I am sick What are you bringing him to do, and the queen mother is not happy when outsiders gossip." ”

Concubine Yu didn't care, watching her son crawl all over the ground, Ruizhu and Bai Li made him giggle, and she said reassuringly: "It's not good for children to be too precious." He lowered his voice and said, "Concubine Jia, the fourth elder brother is also the imperial doctor, she has always been too finely raised, the concubine grew up wrestling and riding horses on the grassland, and the child should follow the mother." ”

Speaking of the grassland, the concubine said: "I heard that the emperor issued an edict the day before yesterday, and Mongolia was called Yiren in the forbidden chapter, and the relationship between the royal family and Mongolia has eased over the years, sister, you have to cherish it." ”

Concubine Yu smiled: "This shouldn't be the concubine's concern, the concubine has everything now." As soon as these words came out, she consciously was rude in front of the concubine, and the emperor's grace and courtesy to the concubine were far above her, but she had been with the king for more than ten years, which was a pity.

Seeing that Concubine Yu was nervous, the concubine couldn't help laughing: "Who are we, why should you care about me, but outside, it's better to be more restrained." ”

Concubine Yu breathed a sigh of relief and blamed herself: "I am very cautious outside, but I shouldn't take into account the mood of my mother, but Yongqi is also your child, and one day in the future, when he is filial to his concubine, he will definitely be filial to you." ”

While speaking, Yongqi suddenly cried, and the concubine thought that she had stumbled, but when she saw that there was a large piece of wet on the carpet, she was crazy and peed her pants. Concubine Yu was not nervous, and blamed her son for being presumptuous in Chuxiu Palace, and the concubine said happily: "He doesn't understand when you tell him, why scare him, let the nurse take him to change clothes, you still have something to say if you leave me." ”

Everyone hugged the crying little brother to take a bath and change clothes, and Concubine Yu glanced at the door a few times before returning to the concubine. Seeing that there was no one around, the concubine said: "The emperor rarely goes to Changchun Palace recently, and the queen mother prepared fetal medicine for Concubine Shu, which obviously has an impact on the emperor and the queen." According to my opinion, the middle palace should give up the idea of a son-in-law, waiting for the six palaces to spread out, if you choose a child to raise in the middle palace, you may be the future prince. ”

Concubine Yu's eyes flickered slightly, she knew that the concubine had always been very concerned about the affairs of the six palaces, and the people of the Gao family hoped that the concubine would make achievements in the palace and would convey a message to her, and the concubine was afraid that she would be disgusted by the queen mother, so she naturally knew what wind was blowing in the palace every day. But when she suddenly mentioned what kind of sister-in-law and prince, Concubine Yu's heart twitched, she knew that behind these words, there was fighting, blood, brotherhood and even the cruelty of killing.

"If the queen liked Yongqi, she would have chosen it a long time ago." Concubine Yu shook her head and said, "Whoever they like to fight will fight, we Yongqi don't care." ”

"You don't care, but you have to guard against people thinking you care." The concubine coughed lightly a few times, and said smoothly, "Wei promised to be so low-key in Shoukang Palace, and someone would still be willing to expel her from the Forbidden City, and I don't know if I can still reach out to Yingtai to prevent future troubles, but if she returns in the future, it will definitely not be peaceful." Yongqi is so smart and cute, if there is a promising child in the future, even if you don't want her to fight, it is difficult to cover the child's own light, what can you control? ”

Concubine Yu didn't expect that she was just holding the child at random to visit the concubine, and she heard such words, her eyes were lowered and her brows were locked, she was not disgusted with the concubine, but she finally had a son, and she was enjoying the joy of family with joy, it turned out that the trouble was approaching?

"Sister, I don't know how long it will drag on, and it will never be enough for you to rely on. If you don't rely on the queen mother in the future, you should choose someone else to rely on. The concubine let out a long sigh, "Whether the Queen Mother can be relied on or not, you know best in your heart." ”

At this time, Bai Li ran back and hurriedly said: "Master, the fifth elder brother is crying non-stop, shouting for Eniang, you go and take a look." ”

Concubine Yu didn't know how to respond to the concubine's kindness, so she excused herself to leave, and then left with Yongqi on the grounds that her son was crying and disturbing the concubine's rest. Along the way, Bai Li held an umbrella, she personally held her son, walked through the long palace road, and rarely met a few passing palace maids and eunuchs standing aside, in the huge Forbidden City in the summer, there were almost no people, and everyone else was hot and sweaty, but Yu Concubine was cold on her back, it was obvious that the words of the concubine affected her, Yongqi was her lifeblood, and she did not allow anyone to hurt her child.

The days flickered, the midsummer passed in a hurry, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye, and the palace set up a night banquet according to the routine, but Shu Concubine took fetal medicine for a few months, and the emperor often came to the Zhongcui Palace, but she still came to the moon letter before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so young and healthy body, she couldn't let the queen mother get her wish, but it seemed that the queen mother bothered for her, it was a joke. She felt that she couldn't raise her head in front of the Queen Mother, she was thin-skinned for fear of being ridiculed, and she couldn't shirk the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

After Ruyin entered the palace with her husband, the queen sent her to Zhongcui Palace to visit Shu Concubine, it was just that Yue Xin was unhappy, but Shu Concubine was obviously even more unhappy. mentioned that Ruyin often came and went to Yingtai this summer, and said that it was a fairyland with mountains, rocks, flowers, grass and sky, but Shu Concubine said angrily: "No wonder Wei promised to send it there, shouldn't it be a fairy daughter-like character to live, and you often go there now, the same reason?" ”

Ruyin knew that her cousin was in a bad mood, her Fu Ling'an was about to turn one year old, and she was likable everywhere, since they were married to each other, her cousin's former superiority in front of her was gone, she could only restrain some joyful thoughts and accompany patiently.

Speaking of Wei Promise, Ruyin didn't know if she deliberately wanted to be close to her, or if Wei Promise was really so attractive to her, at least she was living happily this summer, Fu Heng didn't show a little embarrassment and impatience, he was no longer drunk and couldn't hear those frightening words. Since everyone was good, she was happy to come and go often, and she was happier than the other wives and even the queen and cousin.

As she spoke, Concubine Shu suddenly hid her face and cried, screaming that Ruyin was very frightened. Shu Concubine whimpered and said, I originally heard rumors that the Queen Mother forced the queen to have another concubine, which almost broke the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but on the surface, everything is fine, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still as intimate as mother and daughter.

"Every time I go to Ningshou Palace to ask for peace, I don't dare to look at the queen mother's eyes, the fetal medicine is so bitter that the emperor touches me." Shu Concubine was very resentful, "As soon as the monthly letter came, it was like the sky had fallen, I recruited someone to provoke whom, and I didn't look forward to the child, what did I do to pester me." ”

Ruyin listened helplessly, I don't know how to persuade her, she doesn't have a mother-in-law above her, several sisters-in-law and wives are very kind people, anyway, they don't live together and are polite when they meet, Fu Heng resolutely took her out of the mansion alone, just because she was afraid that she would be wronged, and she really couldn't understand her cousin's suffering.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ruyin took Fu Ling'an to Yingtai to ask for peace, and now Fucha Fujin's entry and exit has been approved by the emperor, and Fu Heng doesn't need to go back to let Fu Heng take her.

The longer Hongyan and Ruyin get along, the more intimate they are like sisters, and occasionally say some private words, which Ruyin will not mention to her cousin and family, but Hongyan stays here, there is nothing private to say, she often listens to Ruyin quietly, or laughs with her or worries together, today Ruyin told her about Shu Concubine crying all night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, sighing: "Cousin is really not easy, she is a pampered Miss Jiao, and she can't afford anything at all." ”

Hongyan was silent, thinking in her heart, didn't the queen ever be like this?
