Regarding the matter of Concubine Xin, Hongyan did not understand the emperor and stopped mentioning it, but she felt that there would be no more hope as before, so she unconsciously forgot about it, and now she suddenly mentioned it, but she didn't know what kind of response to give the emperor. Hongli smiled bitterly: "You must say, I am perfunctory to you again?" ”

Hongyan realized the emperor's fragility and helplessness at the moment, and hurriedly knelt on his chest and said: "What is not the matter, is that the emperor tolerates everything from the concubines, and it is the concubines who rely on your favor to make so many powerless requests." Your Majesty, whether it is the sixth elder brother or someone else, you can do whatever you want, the concubines are already satisfied, and they will never ask you about the results again. ”

Hongli's hand held her cheek, the skin that was as delicate and soft as ever, would make him feel at ease, and he sighed lightly: "In the end, you are still considerate of me, but Hongyan, I am not a favor to you, don't use those two words lightly." ”

"Yes."

"I want to raise Yongyan and them well with you, and I must have a few sons who are promising." Hongli Wu muttered to himself, "Although Yongqi is good, his mind is also ......."

Hongyan understood that the emperor was physically and mentally exhausted tonight, and he was not in a hurry to mention anything, but he had to coax him to feel comfortable, and the next morning he saw a smile on his face, and Hongyan was relieved. Sent all the way out of Yanxi Palace for a long time, Hongli happily went, she stepped on the white frost and cold fog that had not yet receded, the palace road was wet, and the palace maids carefully supported Hongyan and let her pay attention to the slippery ground.

Back at his home, the children got up one after another and made a fuss, and they forgot all their troubles, and after serving a few little ancestors to take a breath, Hongyan remembered that he should give Concubine Shu an explanation, it was already sunny outside, and Xiao Qi and Ke'er were pestering to go to Zhong Cui Palace with their mothers.

One left and one right took the two children to Zhong Cui Palace, Ke'er chirped and recited the newly learned poems, and when she arrived at the door of Concubine Shu, she heard Xiao Qi pointing to the distance and saying: "Eniang, I saw someone being dragged over." ”

Hongyan's heart tightened, and Xiao Lingzi on the side immediately ran up to look, but when he arrived at the intersection, he was stunned, and immediately saluted, and said loudly: "Slaves see Concubine Ying, see masters." ”

"Master, do we want to go over and have a look?" Cherry stepped forward and asked softly, but the two princesses were by her side, and Hongyan had always been reluctant to let children get involved with adults.

"Xiao Qi, lead my sister to find Shu Niangniang, she may still be lazy in bed." Hongyan let go of her hand and let her daughter go in first, she told the nurses and mothers to follow, don't let the child run out, and walked towards Xiao Lingzi with the cherry, and the people over there also had to take the initiative to show up, sure enough, Concubine Ying and several other nobles were always there, and the bottom of their flower pots stepped on the petals all over the ground, which was the last chrysanthemum in this autumn. There was a shade here, and the frost and dew had not dried, and the crushed petals were scattered dirtily, and when I followed the direction of the crowd, I could vaguely see a person curled up under the base of the wall.

"Who's there?" Ignoring the salutes of the concubines, Hongyan walked straight among them, and the women had to get out of the way, revealing the hidden Yong promise. They were bullying people, and when they heard the princess's crisp voice, they panicked and wanted to hide, but they still couldn't escape Hongyan's eyes.

Yong'er wears the usual clothes that she promised to have, and all the levels of concubines in the palace have corresponding uniforms, but the women will use their bodies to cut beautiful clothes to wear, and the palace can be seen everywhere in the palace with red and willow flowers, but the person huddled in the corner at the moment is simple and simple, she doesn't seem to have the spare money or leisure to dress herself, and her clothes that cover her body are also stained.

"What's wrong?" Hongyan turned around and asked Concubine Ying.

"No, it's nothing, mother, what can you say?" Concubine Ying smiled awkwardly, and pulled the people around her to perfunctory, thinking that there were many people, so that the concubine would not be embarrassed by everyone for a small promise. Hongyan really didn't intend to get along with everyone, and when she saw that her palace people would always agree to help her up, she said a few words to make her slippery carefully, and left everyone and continued to walk towards Zhong Cui Palace.

Concubine Ying breathed a sigh of relief, walked towards Yong'er and said, "Be smarter, if your mouth is not closed, I will sew it up for you." I thought that Concubine Ling would come to help you fight the grievances, but think about the sore spot you poked her, can she find herself unhappy? He even pinched her cheek and said, "This face doesn't necessarily fall into the country, you are a teenager and a hairy child, and you have never seen the world?" ”

Yong'er stood against the base of the wall, the moisture on the wall penetrated her back through her clothes, and she nodded stiffly: "Slave maid...... Got it. ”

Concubine Ying sneered, patted her cheek and said: "I'm so smart, I know that I call myself a slave, and it's really strange in this palace, I can climb on the dragon couch with any kind of goods, and every slave wants to be the master." ”

The palace people beside her came forward to persuade Concubine Ying to be cautious, and these words insinuated that Ling Guifei's past experience, she spat disdainfully, and left Yong'er with someone away. At this moment, the palace maids of Jingren Palace dared to surround her, and helplessly supported Yong'er and said: "Promise, let's stay out of the way in the future, you want to pick flowers and slaves to pick them for you, and it will not be a good thing to meet a few of them." ”

In Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Shu chattered about the eleventh elder brother, and said that the emperor came to appease her yesterday, but Hongyan was absent-minded, and she was still thinking about Yong'er who was curled up under the wall just now. Although there are many people in the Forbidden City who have become palace maids and become official women, and who have always promised to be there, Yong'er is really a special existence, and the more a person wants to forget and let go, the things that are really in his heart, and the same is true for Hongyan.

When leaving, it was already quiet before and after Zhong Cui Palace, and when I looked at it from a distance, the crushed petals were also cleaned by the palace people, and Xiao Lingzi had already inquired about what was going on, and was telling Hongyan one by one: "Yong promised to go to the garden to pick flowers, and on the way back, I met a few concubines and concubines who returned from Ningshou Palace. ”

Seeing that the master didn't react, Cherry deliberately asked Xiao Lingzi: "It's just a few flowers, why don't you give it forever, why bother making trouble for yourself?" ”

Xiao Lingzi smiled bitterly: "The slave doesn't know about this, you have to ask Yong to promise yourself." ”

Hongyan instructed indifferently: "You don't have to mention it when you go back, bring Xiao Qi and Ke'er back after lunch." She walked straight away, Xiao Lingzi waved her hand at the cherry, leaned closer and said, "Forget it, Niangniang really doesn't plan to care about that one, you haven't always been unaccustomed to it, so why bother to care." ”

Cherry sighed: "How can I care about what Yong promises, I'm afraid that something will happen to her one day, and the mother will feel uncomfortable." Where can the master be ruthless and do ruthless things, and in the end it is not his conscience that can't get by? ”

Two or three days later, the emperor decided to hold a banquet in mid-October to canonize the fifth elder brother as the prince, and Concubine Yu happily shuttled through the palace every day to hold a banquet, Hongyan and Concubine Shu were naturally happy to see her happy, but they both noticed that Concubine Yu did not intend to let them meddle in these matters, and both Hongyan and Concubine Shu retreated with interest. But Yongqi's canonization banquet has not yet been held, Prince Lu died of illness first, and on that day the emperor officially decreed that the fourth elder brother would be succeeded to Prince Xu's mansion and inherit Prince Xu's incense.

And on that day, Ruyin came out of confinement and brought her little daughter into the palace generously. In the eyes of the world, Nalan Ruyin gathers all the blessings of the world in one, and I don't know what the emperor thinks about the draft, and the Fucha Fujin is also far above Concubine Shu, but the emperor left his sister to marry his sister to the courtiers.

But everything is destined in the dark, Hongyan and Ruyin have become the best sisters in the world, and every child of Ruyin and Fu Heng loves Hongyan as if she were her own.

At this moment, Hongyan couldn't put down her little niece, her Xiaoqi and Ke'er had grown up, and the soft little person in her arms evoked many memories of her, and said to Ruyin again and again: "You have to look at the child more, you will grow up in the blink of an eye, and it will not be easy to remember anything in the future." ”

Ruyin sneered: "Sister thinks, I have experienced less? She touched her belly, "Anyway, it's still better than my sister." ”

Hongyan thought of Yonglu, who died early, and sighed: "Not only are you stronger than me, but the children are also stronger." ”

When she spoke, the little doll woke up, I don't know if it was wet or hungry, she howled and cried without a head, and the people around Ruyin hurriedly took the child away, and Ruyin really didn't make a fuss like when she first became a mother, she sat calmly and served the tea, and said with a smile: "It's still your mentality, even if Xiao Qi is so old, I will still be nervous." ”

Ru Yin Wan'er smiled, looked at Hongyan with deep meaning in her eyes and said: "It's not that I'm not nervous, but I have something else to worry about in my heart, and I've been thinking about it for too long, and I just want to talk to my sister today." ”

Hongyan asked, "What's the matter, the family's business, the children's business?" ”

Ruyin smiled: "It's my sister's business, I want to ask what happened to that Yong promise." Sister, you're not sad about this, are you? ”

Hongyan looked slightly serious, shook his head and said, "Don't be sad, are there few such things in the palace?" ”

Ruyin cupped her cheek and said: "But I don't think my sister is sad, because all this is what you expect to see, and now it unfolds as you think, even if it is not worth being happy, it will never be sad." ”

Hongyan avoided Ruyin's gaze and said perfunctorily: "Okay, how can you say that you don't have these things, you are going to go through the court to try the case?" ”

Ruyin looked serious and said seriously: "Fu Heng is very sad, I can see that he is very worried about his sister, but he doesn't know how to calculate this matter, and he can't even say anything to me." But I'm his wife, and I know whatever he wants. ”
