Baoqin saw that the sixth elder brother showed an uneasy expression from his sleep, obviously it was the pure concubine who was holding the child like this and it was very uncomfortable, seeing the emperor and Wei Chang walking away side by side, she finally persuaded: "Niangniang think twice, if you break through like this, there will be no good results, only ......"

Before the words fell, there were hurried footsteps behind him, Baoqin and Concubine Chun both looked back, but saw that Ruizhu of Chuxiu Palace didn't even wear a cold snow suit, and ran out wearing the clothes in the house, as if he knew that the emperor was here and suddenly came to him, and he didn't even care about the master and servant of Concubine Chun on the side of the road, she ran over like a gust of wind, hugged the qin and said busily: "Master, is the concubine Niangniang seriously ill?" ”

Concubine Chun gritted her teeth and said: "The old man around him is dying, but he has the heart to coax others to be happy here, you have also seen it in Huqin, how romantic and ruthless he is, how difficult it is for us Han women to earn this, but he ......" She suddenly stopped, Wei Hongyan is also Han, Han, a hideous smile hung on her lips, "Look, sooner or later, one day, Wei Hongyan will also become an abandoned woman." ”

And said that Ruizhu hurriedly ran to find the emperor, it was the concubine who did not slow down and fainted, she grabbed the little eunuch in front of the door and asked where the emperor was, they said that someone saw the emperor going in the direction of the imperial garden, Ruizhu was in a hurry, and ran out by himself, and caught up with the emperor at this time, and was stopped by the eunuchs under the head of Wu, but Hongyan heard the movement behind him, turned around and saw Ruizhu, worried about whether there was something wrong with the concubine.

Ruizhu was shivering from the cold, with tears in her eyes, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not good, please ask the emperor to take a look, and the mother will have the idea of living when she sees you." ”

Hongyan was dyed with the sweetness of osmanthus flowers, she was like a person soaked in a honey pot, and the emperor gave her all the care and care. can be a huge Forbidden City, there are his women in every corner, either living an ordinary life, or like a concubine...... Hongyan's heart gradually became heavy, and she couldn't help lowering her eyes, she couldn't ignore what was happening in front of her eyes, but she couldn't take into account everyone's feelings, the beauty in front of her would disappear one day, and each of them had it before, whether it was short or long, she was the same as everyone else, even with the concubine.

One day, the fragrant flowers will bloom for her, and one day, she will lose all this in front of her, from the first time she took the initiative to hug the emperor, Hongyan was ready for everything, not to mention that when she left the Forbidden City, half of her heart understood that the emperor might abandon her there. She is not afraid of losing, but just wants to remember in the future that she once had a good one.

"Your Majesty." Hongyan called softly, didn't say anything, looked at each other, Hongli understood his intentions, although he was a little disappointed, but he had never hated the concubine, how could he not pity her sick and weak, once by the concubine's side, it was also a place where he could listen to a few words of truth with peace of mind. At this moment, he said, "You go back first, and I will go to Chuxiu Palace to visit the concubine." ”

Hongyan blessed his body, asked the emperor to go first, and asked Cherry to give his hand stove to Ruizhu, Ruizhu hurriedly thanked him, and followed the emperor, Hongyan stopped to look at the back of their departure for a while, and then turned back to Yanxi Palace.

The surprise of osmanthus fragrance was diluted by the serious illness of the concubine, and she felt faintly uneasy in her heart, she had gone with the queen to visit the concubine before Laba, and the terminally ill person was skinny, so that people did not dare to take a second look. Chinese New Year's Eve is just around the corner, Hongyan even hopes that the noble concubine can live a little longer, not afraid that her death will cast a shadow on the festival, but the festival will make her aftermath simpler, maybe the mourning after death is meaningless to the deceased, but the noble concubine has carried the family for a lifetime, if she is mourned, the family is shaded, and she can finally rest assured in the spirit of heaven.

Hongyan couldn't help but blame herself for thinking nonsense, who said that the concubine was going, she should be looking forward to a miracle, hoping that people can turn the corner into safety.

And the emperor turned around and walked away, that is, he came straight to the pure concubine, but he walked through the palace road to Chuxiu Palace, and he did not meet the mother and son of the pure concubine. Concubine Chun ran over as early as Ruizhu, and flashed away with the hug qin, watching the emperor go to Chuxiu Palace from a distance.

Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief, but Concubine Chun said: "You're right, I won't have a good result by tearing my face with him, the emperor is most afraid that he will feel guilty about women, I will stand up to him, in the past, he liked me and naturally came to coax me, but now he doesn't have me in his heart, how can he come to coax me." ”

When she said this, Concubine Chun had tears in her eyes, and she wanted to cry, hugging her son in her arms tightly and saying, "He was the one who took me." ”

In the Chuxiu Palace, the queen soon heard the news and rushed over, she had visited with Hongyan before, knowing that the concubine was dying, the queen mother said that the sick person was unlucky, and did not let her get closer, and came to see it after a few days, and the situation of the concubine was even worse.

The imperial doctor trembled and said to the emperor that the concubine is only using medicine to continue her life now, and although she was saved today, she couldn't breathe one day, and the joy might have passed. Years of depression have damaged the heart and liver, and the two most fatal things in people's bodies are broken, and they are powerless to recover.

And the concubine was speechless, seeing the emperor and the queen, she just shed tears, the queen was sad, and the emperor was even more helpless, but at this moment the queen mother sent someone to invite her son and daughter-in-law to Ningshou Palace to speak. The two had to leave, and when they left, the queen told Ruizhu: "If there is anything, come to Changchun Palace at any time and tell me, as for the emperor, you can weigh it yourself." ”

Ruizhu sent to the door, as soon as the emperor left, her legs fell weakly, she knew that the master was not saved, the people of the Gao family came to ask for peace, and glanced at their own daughter who was sick, and actually said, "No help, no help, we have no hope." At that time, the concubine had no strength to speak, but when she heard her family's words, she held her breath in her chest, and Ruizhu almost thought that she was going to die, but sure enough, it became like this in a few days, and the master didn't even have the slightest belief in living.

It's not so much that the emperor is ruthless, but Ruizhu understands in his heart that even if the queen mother can't get used to it, the emperor treats the concubine well, and there is nothing lacking in the Chuxiu Palace, so it is better to say that the master died in the hands of his own family.

The emperor and the empress rushed to Ningshou Palace, and the queen mother asked them to warm up with hot tea and hot kang, and asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a decoction to drive away evil spirits and clear fire, for fear that they would be infected by the concubine, and said worriedly: "I hope she survives the New Year's Festival, and you can still give her a decent posthumous life." It's not that Eniang is ruthless, at this juncture, what else can she do for her? I am strict with her, but if the Gao family is so strict, there is still an accident, if you don't ask, maybe there will be another Nian Qianyao. You want to blame me for being ruthless, I don't care, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and for the Hongli, I am willing to bear this sin. ”

The emperor hurriedly got up: "Huang Eniang, the concubine is blessed, what do you have to do with you, Eniang must not take it on yourself." ”

The queen also left her seat, stood aside and said: "Instead of mourning after death, it is better to let her see for herself when she is alive, if the emperor crowns her as the imperial concubine, it will be the highest glory in her life, at least the concubine has a clear conscience about the family and can walk peacefully." She secretly glanced at her mother-in-law, lowered her head and said, "The emperor's mother thinks about the emperor and her sons in everything, but now that the concubine is dying, even if she is given high glory, it will be scattered with the death of people, so it is better to fulfill her." ”

The Queen Mother pondered for a long time, and said: "As soon as the concubine leaves, someone should sharpen her head and want to occupy a concubine, the ancestral imperial concubine is one and two concubines, and the concubine is also a side Fujin in the palace, and her background is also noble, and she has been in the palace for ten years without complaining about the concubine, I have always been very fond of it." If you have no objection, give one of the concubines to her, and then choose another person among the pure concubines and concubines to fill it, and fill the two concubines, saving the Gao family from leaving, and the women will make a storm in order to fight for power and seize the throne. ”

The queen said: "Then take this opportunity to seal the harem in the first month, and the sons will draw up a list of the titles for the emperor to see, if you think it is appropriate, it will be their blessing." ”

The queen mother bowed her head silently, smelled the breath on her son's body, and couldn't help laughing: "I thought that when you came from Chuxiu Palace, you would be full of medicinal smell, where did this sweet smell come from?" ”

The emperor was perfunctory, and the queen mother couldn't really embarrass her son, so these things were dispersed, outside the gate of Ningshou Palace, the queen came over and smelled the aroma on Hongli's body, glanced at him lightly, and said: "People are honest and honest people, the emperor should be leisurely, don't ask someone to carry the fault for you, it's okay to be pointed at by others, let the emperor misunderstand, what's good about her?" ”

Hongli coughed dryly, and the queen couldn't help laughing: "It's more than thirty, it's still the same as before, you can't change it at all?" After that, he left the emperor and went back to his Changchun Palace.

Successively robbed by his mother and wife, no matter how thick-skinned the emperor was, he couldn't go to Yanxi Palace to find a red face, not long after returning to the Yangxin Palace, Gao Bin and the clansmen inquired, and sure enough, the concubine was not a concubine, and the emperor promised to say that Jin Feng Guifei was the imperial concubine, and as soon as the news came out, the palace suddenly became lively. No one cares about the life and death of the concubine at the moment, what the women care about is that there is still a vacancy in the concubine, and there are two vacant now, whether someone should fill it.

It can be seen that although the queen mother is often ruthless and rigid in her words and actions, she can often see through the thoughts of harem women, after all, she is a person who has experienced three dynasties and should not be underestimated.

In Yanxi Palace, Ruyin came to the palace a few days later, this time she went to see Concubine Shu first, and the proud person was full of expectations that she would become Concubine Shu, and she was proud in front of her cousin. Ruyin sighed to Hongyan: "In the end, no one cares about the life and death of the concubine." ”

Hongyan picked the chestnuts roasted in the charcoal stove, and said helplessly: "I went to Shoukang Palace yesterday to ask for peace, Concubine Wenhui told me to take the matter of the concubine lightly, in fact, most of the people in this palace are her life, no one cares about life and death, and one day she will leave quietly." Only because the concubine is in a high position will she be seen, and the concubine wants me to let go of my mercy, the deceased will soon be forgotten, and I must live for myself. ”

Ruyin sighed, and said: "Speaking of which, if the harem is sealed this time, will my sister be a nobleman?" ”

Hongyan bowed: "Niangniang has acquiesced, hoping that I can share the affairs of the six palaces for her earlier." ”
