This is something to face sooner or later, Hongyan did not suddenly impetuous, only full of distress for the child, opened her arms to let her daughter come back, Buddha Jiao fell into Eniang's arms, the two snuggled up to each other, Concubine Yu asked beside her: "Good girl, which one did you listen to, what did they say?" ”

Buddha is very smart, and clearly told the matter, it was she playing in the garden, she ran away, and when she hid back in hide and seek, several palace maids and eunuchs who were originally waiting there gossiped with each other, saying that the princess was so big and so beautiful, not to mention that she had a disability in her hands and couldn't see it at all. said that Concubine Ling's many blessings were sent by Princess Fo'er, but Concubine Chun threw her biological daughter to the ground at the beginning, and now she ends up on a lingering sickbed, and I don't know how she is doing in the Forbidden City.

The eight-year-old child was already very sensible, and she asked Hongyan seriously: "Eniang, am I really not born by you?" ”

For so many years, the palace people around Hongyan have been cautious and careful, no one will deliberately mention the princess's life experience, Fo'er used to be more obedient, and he would not run out to play by himself, even if he met people outside, the servants around him followed like clouds, and those people did not dare to talk nonsense. The elders are even more secretive, Xianfu Palace now sees any situation in their eyes, why bother to mention that unlucky person. So no one said anything like that to the princess, and today they all said so suddenly.

"You talk to your daughter, and I'll ask her grandmother." Concubine Yu got up and went out the door, and it was up to their mother and daughter to explain this matter themselves.

The room was quiet for a while, and Hongyan gently patted her daughter, and the little princess seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses, and said a little aggrievedly: "Eniang, don't you send the Buddha away, okay?" ”

Hongyan smiled: "Where to send it?" ”

"Send it back to the pure concubine." Fo'er stretched out her hand to hold her mother's cheeks, and said pitifully, "I don't know her, I don't remember what the sixth brother's Eniang looks like, Eniang, I ......."

Hongyan nodded her little nose, and kissed and kissed her lovely, their sisters often sighed where the years had gone, but looking at the little doll that was a little big in the past, it had grown so big, and they knew where the time was spent.

"Things between adults, when the Buddha grows up, you will naturally understand that since the Buddha is by Eniang's side, he will not go anywhere." Hongyan explained very simply, "Because Buddha and Eniang have fate, we will be together, but you and Chun Guifei Niangniang also have fate, and when she needs to be taken care of in the future, Fo'er must also have filial piety." As for other things, what others say is someone else's business, as long as Buddha and Eniang are never separated, right? ”

"Hmm." The little girl lay down in front of her mother's chest, where it was soft and warm, such a cute little person, everyone would like her from the heart, she said obediently, "I listen to Eniang, Buddha is an obedient child." ”

In front of the door, Concubine Yu poked out her head and looked at her, and glanced at Hongyan, it seemed that the grandmothers who followed the princess didn't understand what was going on, so Hongyan asked her daughter again: "Did you hear that Concubine Chun fell to the ground?" ”

"I heard it, and they said it several times." The princess replied.

"The concubine didn't mean it, but you didn't have the strength to give birth, just like when the Buddha was infected with the wind and cold, he didn't even have the strength to eat snacks, right? The concubine Niangniang accidentally dropped you on the ground, let's pull the hook, and no one will mention this matter in the future. Hongyan smiled and said, "Fo'er is obedient, E-niang will raise a puppy for you." ”

The little girl came to the spirit all of a sudden, this is what she has been looking forward to for many years, but unfortunately Hongyan has not let go, I didn't expect it to be so easy, and the child was so happy, holding Hongyan and saying that Eniang is the best person in the world. Hongyan understands in her heart that for such a big child, a puppy can affect her emotions more than these inexplicable words, she is a child who has been pampered by everyone and grows up, there is nothing missing in her heart, the biological mother and adoptive mother, it really doesn't matter.

The puppy that the princess has longed for many years was brought to her by the emperor Ama herself, and only her father had a small milk dog the size of a palm, which was carefully held in the princess's arms, and said decently that she would take good care of it in the future, and she could play for most of the day when she sat on the carpet alone.

The tired emperor is pretending to sleep on the couch, the youngest daughter is sitting on the ground and talking softly to her puppy, and Hongyan has a pair of insoles that the emperor wants to wear in winter. She couldn't help but put down the needle and thread in her hand, looked at the man next to her, and then looked at the children below, she couldn't get enough of it.

Outside the spring of the heaven and earth family, Concubine Xin went to pick up Xiushan House from Ning Chun Hall, and sent some things to the Queen Mother to the Twelve Elder Brother and the little princess, the queen treated her politely, but she didn't say anything more except politely, Concubine Xin wanted to get in touch with the queen, and was sent out early by Hua Rong next to the queen. The people here in the middle palace are very rigid in their rules, and Concubine Xin feels bored, so she can only return the same way.

And on the way she came, she knew that the emperor had gone to the spring of heaven and earth, where she had never set foot again after she had visited the palace on the day she had entered the palace, and she had never carefully seen the scene in the house of the three ladies on that day, and she couldn't remember what kind of life the most favored one had.

"Mother, where are you going?" The palace maid beside Concubine Xin suddenly reminded her, only then did she realize that she hadn't walked towards Ning Chun Hall, she raised her eyes and looked around, she was not familiar with the Old Summer Palace, she had to ask, "Where are we going?" ”

Gong said: "This road goes to the spring of heaven and earth." ”

Concubine Xin looked at the direction of the road in a daze, and said: "Then go to the heaven and earth family to sit in the spring, isn't the queen mother resting, and it's not interesting to go back." ”

Saying this, the feet have already walked forward, the palace people reminded her that the emperor was over there, and Concubine Xin also turned a deaf ear, but she didn't expect that she had not yet approached the spring of the world, but she met a few concubines who came out for a walk.

Concubine Ying really pointed to the white nobles behind her without smiling and said: "Don't hurry up and ask Concubine Xin to say goodbye, don't you dare to call yourself a sister, and you don't count your age in this palace." ”

Several nobles often stepped forward to salute Concubine Xin, she gently asked everyone not to be polite, Ying Guiren glanced behind her, and asked in a coquettish tone: "Where is my sister going?" ”

Concubine Xin was a little embarrassed, and responded: "Just walk around, I don't know the road in the palace yet, I walk randomly." ”

Ying Concubine sighed: "If you don't know the road, you can't do it, whether it's in the garden or the Forbidden City, you can't trespass, you go to a place you shouldn't go, but you have to get into trouble." She asked Concubine Xin curiously, "In the past year, didn't the grandmother in the palace go to the house again and again to teach the rules, why does my sister still seem to be a little confused." ”

This year's depression is an unbearable memory, Concubine Xin still doesn't know how she survived, she even worries that the emperor will refute the holy decree at any time, then she has no hope in this life, and can only die alone. Now when she wakes up in the middle of the night, she will panic where she is, and the wide and cold bed can't make her settle down and say to herself that this is her home, and the life promised by her mother and the queen mother will not be fulfilled in the first time.

"I hope my sister will give me more advice in the future." Concubine Xin looked at Concubine Ying with a smile, and tried to make a gesture that was neither humble nor arrogant, "If my sister has any shortcomings......"

Her eyes were directed towards the place where the heaven and earth were in the spring, and when she saw the emperor's shoulders slowly coming, her heart suddenly jumped, and she seemed to have forgotten everything. But she subconsciously didn't want Concubine Ying to see it, and continued: "My sister has many shortcomings, so I have to learn from my sister." ”

Ying Concubine smiled: "Listen, how modest our concubine is, you are the person who follows the Queen Mother, I will follow the Queen Mother, who dares to give me advice, with the Queen Mother here, will you be wrong?" ”

Chang Chang stepped forward and pulled Concubine Ying and said with a smile: "Sister doesn't dare to bully Concubine Xin, Niangniang is new to the city, and it is also possible to be modest and cautious, you said the wrong thing at this time, Niangniang turned around and accidentally told the Queen Mother a few words, and we will suffer." ”

Ying Concubine said to Xin Concubine: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank you." You are here, I can now take a walk with my sisters and listen to the play, I used to stay by the Queen Mother's side all the time, and my head was tense every day. Sister, I will work hard for you in the future, it is not easy to serve the Queen Mother, but it is much more difficult than serving the Lord Long Live. You are smart and capable, better than all of us, and naturally such things will fall on you. ”

They laughed at each other, left the concubine and walked the way they were going, leaving the concubine frozen in place, while the emperor's shoulder in the distance passed, and when he heard the laughter, he glanced here, and did not know what the women were talking about, and told him to go quickly and not want to entangle with them. But after casually turning around, I saw Concubine Xin standing there alone, and Concubine Ying and the others had already left together.

It was so coincidental that Concubine Xin raised her head and looked at the emperor's side, and the two of them were far away and didn't know if they met each other, but a woman exuded a helpless aura around her, which would still make the emperor feel a little pitiful for her. Seeing the emperor's expression, Manager Wu hurriedly said: "It seems that Concubine Ying didn't say anything mean, Concubine Ying didn't take Concubine Yu in her eyes in the past, let alone the newcomers." Your Majesty, do you want the slave to tell a few mothers, don't let the concubines be bullied. ”

The emperor retracted his gaze and said, "There is no need for this, she is on an equal footing with Concubine Ying in the honorable position, what is there to be bullied, you don't have to worry about this." ”

"Yes." Mr. Wu was busy.

"You don't have to tell me about her." The emperor said so again, but somehow, he still remembered Concubine Xin's helpless and lonely appearance.
