"The most blessed person in the Qing Dynasty?" The Queen Mother smiled meaningfully, shook her head and said: "I'm afraid that there are other people, who are blessed and better than me, and their lives are better than mine, Eniang is going to let you down." ”

Where is the queen mother to live up to the emperor, it is clear that Hongli has failed his biological mother, and if he continues to talk about it between mother and son, some words will be boring, Hongli will accept it when he sees it, his purpose has been achieved, and he should leave at this time, but when he got up, the queen mother said: "What a noble person, it is a very neat appearance, such a posture at this age, although the reputation of the birth is not good, it is not too embarrassing for you." Since she brought it back and gave her a name, don't bully her too much. This word 'more', you are showing it to those people, why should you really wronged me, she can't help herself, isn't it? ”

Hongli was stunned, he knew that his mother was not a wicked person, otherwise he would not have been chosen by his mother to stay with the first emperor, but why did she want to target Hongyan, isn't Hongyan involuntarily? But the emperor soon came to his senses, and what Hongyan had was just outside the criterion of the queen mother's "goodness".

"My son understands that he will make proper arrangements for her future life, and he won't let you worry about it." Hongli replied, it seemed that it didn't involve Hongyan, and everything between mother and son was easy to say. This contradiction, perhaps the emperor should take a step back as a son, but Hongli retreats, that is, he loses his beloved woman, and the mother and son cannot be good from now on; And the queen mother's retreat is a harmonious family, but more than ten years later, the queen mother is still pressing step by step.

The mother and son finally did not break up unhappily, and Hongli instructed Chief Wu to take care of the matter of many noble people, but Chief Wu told him that Concubine Ling had sent someone to spread the word, so that the people of the Internal Affairs Office could treat the affairs of Qixiang Palace with all their hearts.

At that time, the emperor sighed softly: "With her being thorough, what else is wrong." ”

And before the emperor put down government affairs and went to Yanxi Palace to visit Hongyan that day, Concubine Yu and several people had already come with news, a room of people sitting, listening to Bai Li's story, as if saying: "This noble man has married a Mongolian Taiji and an auxiliary prince, both of whom are concubines, but as soon as she enters the door, something happened, one died of illness at a young age, and the other fell off a horse and died, and was called a disaster star over there." Before the emperor brought her back, she was demoted to slavery by her second husband's people. ”

Hongyan frowned slightly, no one mentioned it again for a while, but when Yonglu was born, Yikun Palace lost the thirteenth elder brother and the fifth princess one after another, and her little fourteenth was also known as the disaster star. This kind of taste, Hongyan understands in her heart.

As for the emperor asking a widow to fill the harem, although it is very rare in these generations, but Emperor Taizong Taiji married the widow of Lin Dan Khan at the beginning, and even raised his stepson to let them enter the court as officials.

"Since you are a widow, it is not uncommon at this age, otherwise it is good not to marry, what is going on." Concubine Shu said nonchalantly, "But what kind of person she is, there will be more people in the future, can you worry about it?" Be a lively listener, don't go out and be blind and don't know anything, make people laugh. ”

Bai Li continued: "Those Mongolian princes said that such a woman can only be suppressed by the most noble man in the world, and if the emperor brings this sinful woman back to the Forbidden City, the grassland will eliminate bad luck, and the emperor will be the son of heaven, and he will definitely be able to relieve the sins of many nobles." ”

Concubine Yu said: "In this way, the emperor went to see them for the sake of the big and small things, and they deliberately used many noble people to make things difficult for the emperor, and the emperor had to bring these noble people back for the sake of the overall situation?" Concubine Yu analyzed and said to her sisters, "I don't think this title may be the meaning of the Queen Mother." ”

Qing Concubine said softly: "I have been talking for a long time, but I am a poor person." ”

Concubine Shu was stunned when she saw her face, and asked her: "What do you think, can you be sympathetic again?" ”

Hongyan shook her head: "Sister Yu and I, it's our responsibility, isn't it?" ”

Bai Li said the "story", the emperor came to Yanxi Palace at night, and told Hongyan exactly the same again, how noble people are Mongolian things that make things difficult for him, the "multi-character" title, he also deliberately asked the queen mother to do this, and the emperor himself said: "She really can't help herself, but I can't swallow this breath." ”

Hongyan said that she would treat everyone fairly, as for the rights and wrongs in the court, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and now things are tight next week, and the emperor obviously has to compromise on everything, so everything is important to the court and the country, and when you successfully win the size and Zhuo, it is not too late to look at the nobles.

"The emperor forgave the concubines bluntly, a 'many' may not really affect anything, and in the end, only innocent and noble people are wronged by this word. The emperor really wants those Mongol princes to realize their fault of despising the king, let's take down the big and small and Zhuo, and speak with their human heads and dignity. There was arrogance in Hongyan's eyes, and the emperor was stunned.

"Am I too petty, you're right, I'm just angry with a woman." Hongli asked.

Hongyan looked at the emperor, his eyes were so sincere, and he nodded determinedly: "Yes, but this is also the emperor's attitude, isn't it?" The concubine said a little too much, don't misunderstand the emperor. ”

Hongli held her hand and said, "I misunderstood what you were doing, I listened to your words, I felt comfortable listening to them, this hunting is really boring." After winning the big and small and Zhuo, I will slowly settle accounts with them. ”

After saying this, the emperor suddenly let go of Hongyan's hand, which made her stunned, worried about the matter of accompanying the king like a tiger, mentioning this unpleasant thing, Hongyan could not guarantee that the emperor would not turn his face in the next moment.

But Hongli got up and took a few steps back, but said: "Don't blame me, but this time I must restrain myself, and the best way to restrain myself is to stay away from you." Hongyan, I can't let you suffer one after another, your body will not be able to hold on. ”

Hongyan's slightly clenched heart relaxed, the emperor's actions startled her, but the words she said immediately lifted her up to the clouds, and she couldn't help but say: "The emperor made a fuss and scared the concubines." She blushed slightly, "This matter is not the emperor's business alone, the concubines themselves should be more restrained, does the emperor really want to stay away and ignore the concubines anymore?" ”

Hongli is serious: "Every time I say that I am wrong, I believe you and I don't believe in myself, and the best way to stay away from you is the best way." ”

Hongyan said angrily: "I'm afraid it's far away from the concubine, and it's justifiable to be with a young and beautiful newcomer." ”

Hongli was unmoved, and still shook his head: "What you say doesn't work, this time I'm iron-hearted, even if it's a year?" When you are out of confinement, I will send you and the child to Yingtai, not far away and not close apart, you are there to recuperate, I really miss you, so I will come over to have a look, and you will come back in a year, okay? ”

"You want to send your concubines away?" Hongyan looked at the emperor blankly, that Yingtai, she has never been there since she came back from serving Concubine Wen Hui, and the emperor doesn't seem to like it either, if it weren't for some things in the court, it would be easy not to go there.

"A year passed quickly." Hongli smiled, "Take care of your body, let's ......"

Hongyan asked, "What are we?" ”

"For a long time, you will be with me for a long time." Hongli folded the quilt for her and said, "I'm gone, you go to bed early, let Concubine Yu take care of the affairs of the nobles, and you will go to Yingtai after a while." ”

Hongyan nodded in the end, Yingtai has a picturesque fairy-like realm, and now the mood of going back is completely different from the beginning, she will not worry about whether the emperor will forget herself after a year, and if she has to doubt, she will really live up to Hongli's kindness to herself for so many years.

Naturally, the emperor wants to send Hongyan to Yingtai to recuperate, and he will wait until she is out of confinement, which will definitely surprise many people at that time, but Hongyan's current status, even the queen mother does not dare to touch her easily, and she is afraid that people dare to say anything.

In front of the door, there are many nobles who have newly entered the palace, she has seen the queen as early as Mulan, and now that she has a name, she should go to the six palaces in the east and west to meet her, Jia Guifei is deceased, and the pure concubine is like a fictitious, under the queen in the palace, it is Concubine Ling, Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu, and Concubine Ling has always been the position of the head of the four concubines, many nobles packed up and dressed neatly, and waited in front of the gate of Yanxi Palace early the next morning.

Hongyan is not suitable to get out of bed, Cherry led people to put a green gauze screen of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum in the dormitory, and saw how many nobles saluted through the screen, with an accented voice, not soft, not rigid, not humble or arrogant, as if he accepted the arrangement of fate very calmly.

"Remove the screen." Hongyan commanded.

Cherry ordered the little palace maid to remove the screen, and politely led many nobles to step forward, and many nobles wanted to kowtow again, but Hongyan stopped: "Don't be polite, haven't you bowed?" ”

She instructed Cherry to take a seat, and at the same time looked at the women in front of her, they were about the same age, but they experienced different lives, and naturally precipitated different traces of time. Duo Guiren lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, but Hongyan saw that her hand was not the slender jade fingers of the palace concubines who did not touch the spring water, the fingers were thick and the skin was wrinkled, and Bai Li said that she was demoted to slavery by the second husband's clansmen, which can be seen to be true.

"I'm still in confinement, and I can't be free because of the rules, so I can't treat you well." Hongyan said kindly, "When the little princess is full moon, there will be wine in Yanxi Palace, and many nobles will come to drink a glass of wine." ”

Duo Guiren was supported by the cherry and sat down, she was also a person who had lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food, the situation in Yanxi Palace seemed to her to be a little inconsistent with the legendary status of Concubine Ling, and the person in front of her was so gentle, she thought that in this life, no one would treat her gently. Even if it was just the politeness of Concubine Ling's appearance, it was better than the whipping and scolding during the days when she was a slave.

Being treated as a sin to humiliate the emperor to come to this Forbidden City, Duo Guiren doesn't care whether she is superfluous or calamitous, for her, she can get rid of a life of suffering, no longer have to worry about being forced and humiliated, it is enough to live. In the past few years, what she feared most was not the hard work of whipping and toiling, but the most fear of being forcibly guarded by the vicious men who were also slaves, and the only thing she had to fight to the death.
