"Hongli ......" The queen mother's face was pale, and her eyebrows were condensed, it was not a mother's look at her son, her hand on the coffee table trembled, and her long armor swept across the table, making a slight but piercing sound, "Do you know what you're talking about, do you still know who you are, do you still know who I am?" ”

Mother was so heartbroken, but he couldn't get Hongli to blame himself at all, he happily went to Bayangou for a trip, and he didn't waste anything serious, but he was a little intimate with Hongyan, but he was finally happy, but his mother couldn't see him well, and he couldn't tolerate a smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Huang Eniang, in two years, my son will be forty." Hongli said, "Do you say that your son doesn't know who he is, does he know who you are?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled coldly: "Yes, you are forty years old, but you are not as good as when you were four years old, when you were raised in Changchun Garden, at that time you wanted to recognize Fujin as your mother-in-law, but you always remember that there is still a mother-in-law." Now you only have those women in your eyes, where are there any three outlines and five constants, you can't let go of your mother in your eyes, and you don't even want flesh and blood. ”

The queen mother was angry, whether it was right or wrong, the emperor couldn't be too disobedient, Hongli had knelt on his knees, but the queen mother pointed at Hua Mama and said: "Help him up, I can't stand it." ”

Seeing that the mother and son were stiff like this, Mama Hua hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest brother is not very good, the Queen Mother has been very anxious for her grandson these days, and she has spoken a little rushed, you can bear with you as a son, you feel sorry for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also feels sorry for you, but why is it so distressed about this?" ”

Hongli frowned and asked Mama Hua: "Yonghuang is not good?" ”

The Queen Mother said coldly: "You are holding the beauty in Bayangou, how do you know that your son is suffering from illness?" He is probably the most pitiful eldest son of the emperor in the world, and when he is sick like that, no one dares to report it to you, and no one dares to disturb the Yaxing of the Long Live Lord. ”

Hongli squirmed his lips slightly, the angry words were not said in the end, even if the people below despised the eldest son of the emperor, what about the queen mother, since she knew, why didn't she send someone to inform herself. Fortunately, Mama Hua explained on the side: "The Queen Mother and the slave maid also only learned in the past two days, the emperor must not misunderstand the Queen Mother, you two will not have a dispute about anything at this time, it is really boring." The emperor might as well leave Ningshou Palace first and send someone to take a look at the eldest brother outside the palace. ”

The Queen Mother snorted: "That child's guts are all scared by you, what else can you do." ”

Seeing that the queen mother was unforgiving, she hurriedly asked the emperor to leave first, she personally sent it to the door of Ningshou Palace, and reminded the emperor: "The slave maid heard that Concubine Ling asked the concubine to come forward to take care of the eldest brother's mansion, the eldest brother is not very good, the concubine should not know, you pay attention to the concubine to ask, why did such a thing not come out." Someone turned around and put the blame on Concubine Ling, and she was wronged. ”

Seeing that Mama Hua was so heartbroken, Hongli calmed down with anger, and said resentfully: "Mama, you saw it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears today, and it was easy for me to go out happily, and as soon as I got home, I was all kinds of things." I did say too much just now, but Eniang didn't want to think about it, my heart, Hongyan's heart, and An Yi's heart were all for whom. What the hell does the emperor want, I really can't figure it out. ”

Mama said: "If it was in the past, the slave and maid could still defend the queen mother, and now the slave and maid have nothing to say." The slave maid only begged the emperor to understand in his heart that the queen mother had changed, and the emperor must not change. ”

Hongli sneered: "I know that without Wei Hongyan, there will also be Zhang Hongyan and Li Hongyan." Today is impulsive, I shouldn't be provoked by a few words, I can't manage my emotions, and what qualifications do I have to ask the emperor. Every time I contradict and every disobedience, it will arouse the Queen Mother's deeper hatred and resentment, and I should be calm. You look at her, I understand it, she is not playing sex, she is not filial piety, she has no expectations, and she will not be disappointed and hurt. ”

Mama sighed helplessly, when the emperor left, he reminded the eldest brother again, Hongli went to Shoukang Palace to ask the imperial grandmother for peace, Concubine Wenhui actually just knew that the eldest brother was not good, she said guiltily and blamed herself: "I have someone here every few days to go to the eldest brother's mansion to ask if it is good, and I also asked when the emperor was not in the capital, only to say the same as before." I also gave him the Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill. ”

Hongli felt guilty: "Let the elderly imperial grandmother worry about the eldest brother, it is my unfilial piety, if the imperial grandmother blames herself again, the grandson is even more self-ashamed, it seems that Yonghuang himself deceived his illness, I am not good, I am scared of him." ”

Concubine Wen Hui said: "You are the king of a country, in charge of the world, the emperor and brother are both sons and ministers to you, and it is really difficult to grasp how deep and shallow the affection here is." At that time when your imperial grandfather, all the elder brothers had their own strengths, and they were more prosperous than the emperor at this time, Kangxi often discussed with your grandmother the truth of raising children, father and mother tacitly understood each other, and the combination of rigidity and softness, your emperor Ama, thirteen uncles and fourteen uncles, are the most proud and best sons of Kangxi. Between the monarch and the ministers, naturally no one can understand better than the emperor, but between the father and the son, the emperor should not worry, there are many things here that are too late to be redeemed, but there are other elder brothers, the emperor will be much better than now if he puts a little more effort into it. ”

Hongli listened reasonably, but his heart hurt, he is now the most trusted person, there is no son under his knees who can educate him, he believes in Hongyan's personality and knowledge, can raise an excellent prince, but Hongyan may be because of the queen mother's fault, there will be no heirs in his life, the original matter, it is really unclear.

"Although Concubine Jia is a little upside down." Concubine Wen Hui said with a smile, "But the fourth elder brother is honest and cute, polite and filial, and she teaches well." If the women in the harem are not jealous, then it is not called a harem, and the emperor looks at the eldest brother and the third elder brother, and the two elder brothers under the knees of Concubine Jiagui, don't let them down easily. ”

"In the same way, the imperial grandmother said that she was teaching her grandson how to do a good job, and everything was for her grandson." Hongli smiled bitterly, "If you stay with the Queen Mother, you will only sneer at me, I don't know if she is worried about her grandchildren, or if she will make me unable to hold my head up in front of her." ”

"Your Majesty." Concubine Wen Hui said, "When you enter the door, you are full of anger, and this time you will be even more angry when you say it." I don't want to say anything big, she's your mother-in-law, you just remember it. ”

Hongli remembered what he had just said to Mama Hua, shook his head to calm himself down, he didn't know when he would be able to cultivate as free and easy as his red face, but he must control his emotions well, so he got up and said: "Grandson, I'm going to visit Yonghuang, and I will pay more attention to other elder brothers in the future, governing the country and leveling the world is a heavy burden, and the inheritance of incense is also a responsibility." ”

He paused, and then said, "But Concubine Jia...... She targeted Hongyan everywhere and bullied her from time to time. ”

The concubine smiled: "If the emperor's bowl of water can be slightly deviated, let's not talk about stability, in my opinion, it will be a lot less trouble." ”

The anger brought about by a dispute between the emperor and his mother was resolved in front of Concubine Wen Hui, and he personally went to visit the eldest brother's mansion, but unfortunately his punishment was too harsh that day, which really scared the child's courage, and his father's visit in person not only did not alleviate the eldest brother's condition, but also made him panic and deterioration, so that Hongli did not know what to do.

In the days that followed, no matter how many doctors were invited for treatment, the eldest brother could not recover, and the Forbidden City was lively at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and no one cared about the eldest son of the emperor at the banquet, until the eldest brother died of illness in March of the fifteenth year of Qianlong, and the world remembered this poor eldest son of the emperor.

Regarding the death of the eldest brother, the emperor issued an edict: "The eldest son of the emperor was born in the Qinggong, and the tooth order is long. Over the age of a weak crown, the birth of the emperor's grandson. Now that the disease is gone, I mourn in my heart, and it is appropriate to prepare for the rite of passage. "Chase the crown prince, and say "An".

But although the eldest brother is in accordance with the rites of adulthood, but a prince who was not loved by the emperor during his lifetime and did not have the support of his biological mother, how can anyone be dedicated to his affairs after death, this son is preparing for the canonization ceremony of the new queen, and the emperor does not have any will, saying that he will reschedule or postpone, and the new queen canonization is imminent, and the sadness of the death of the emperor's eldest son will soon fade.

On the first seven days of the eldest brother, Hongli personally went to the house to offer wine, the emperor did this, he could preserve the future life of the eldest brother's wife and children, he returned to the palace sedan chair and came straight to Yanxi Palace, Hongyan was patting the Buddha to sleep, the emperor changed his clothes and came to hug his daughter, watching her slowly fall asleep in his arms, before settling down.

"The emperor's condolences." Hongyan sent ginseng tea to Hongli, "The wife and children of the eldest brother, the concubines will continue to send people to take care of them, and they will not let people bully the emperor and grandson." ”

Hongli bowed: "I know that you will be fine, and you don't have to care about the words of others." ”

Hongyan said: "The emperor can rest assured. ”

Hongli raised his eyes to look at her, and half a year has passed since he returned from Bayangou in a blink of an eye, and the relationship between him and the queen mother has not improved, but it is just a big scene like a banquet to give each other a decent place, but there are faint rumors in the court that the emperor and the queen mother are not in harmony.

For this reason, even the queen who doesn't ask about the world has persuaded the emperor, but Hongyan didn't mention half a word, her attitude is really disqualified in the eyes of others, but in Hongli's eyes, there is a place that can make him feel at ease, what he thinks in his heart, Hongyan knows.

"After the death of Empress Daxing, I treated the courtiers from leniency to strictness, and at that time, in their eyes, it was for the sake of the queen's death that they were grief-stricken and lost their minds." Hongli mentioned the events of the past two years, and there was an imperial air in his eyes, "I knew that they would say that, so I decided to do it." treats Yonghuang and Yongzhang ruthlessly, and shows them it. After I ascended the throne, I applied benevolent government in order to alleviate the harsh policies of the previous emperor, but that was not long-lasting, and I have been looking for opportunities to turn around. ”
