Unafraid? Hongyan herself doesn't know. It's not too difficult to ask her to deliver a cup of tea, but now she can't do it if she has to say a few words as well as before.

Hongli drank tea, and when he saw that she hung her head and didn't say a word, he knew that he couldn't be too reluctant, so he said again: "Can you go with me for a while, I have a few words to tell you." ”

Hongyan stiffened, and when she walked out of the door of Shoukang Palace, every gaze was a cold arrow shot into her back, poking at her backbone, and contemptuously mocking her shamelessness in seducing the emperor and betraying her master.

"Then say it here." Hongli took another step and turned around and motioned to Manager Wu to take the idle people farther away.

Hongyan was sure in her heart, and the emperor had already drunk the tea, and put the tea bowl back into the tea tray by herself, and she had to see the emperor's beautiful hand.

"It was the Queen Mother who gave you to me, she chose you early in the morning to be taught by the Queen in the Changchun Palace, and gave you to me on that day." The emperor said, seeing that Hongyan, who was already calm, trembled slightly when he heard the events of that night, and his heart couldn't bear it, but he had to explain, "Hongyan, this is what you can only answer no matter who asks you, and there can be no other words." ”

Hongyan pursed her lips, I don't know if she moved her head, did she shake her head, or nodded?

"But what happened that night, you must be able to think of something, I hope you can complain if you want to complain, don't hate the queen." Hongli took a step towards Hongyan, and to his delight, Hongyan didn't retreat this time, so he put his mind at ease and continued, "The queen did something to hurt you, but she herself will feel guilty for it for the rest of her life, she has long been overwhelmed by many things, but I am moved by you, and I am moved by the person she trusts and likes the most, she can't bear it anymore." Even if I am moved by you, she knows your innocence, this incident hurt you, she didn't come for you in the first place, so she is also very painful, Hongyan, don't hate her. ”

These words, and her father-in-law have analyzed Hongyan, and only one sentence made her hand holding the tea tray shake.

The emperor likes himself? When was this? And his words in such a low posture are not orders, but a consultative tone, he is an emperor, and he is just a minion.

"Hongyan, no matter what happens in the future, as long as I am in one day, no one will hurt you or bully you again." Hongli said sincerely, behind the appearance of an emperor that others could not imagine, the mood of a single man said, "It's just that I can't let you leave the Forbidden City, and I can't easily promise you any future, but you and your family will be safe, which is the only promise I can give you now." ”

Hongyan raised her head suddenly, and was silent for so long, when she heard the word "family", she finally had a reaction that she couldn't help but have, and blurted out: "How is my Amma, is someone embarrassing him?" But after saying that, her eyes panicked, and without waiting for the emperor to respond, she hurriedly lowered her head.

Hongli was sure in his heart, and said gently: "He is very good now, if you can be good, he will be more at ease." ”

Hongyan didn't answer, but thought bitterly in her heart, can she still be okay. Ama Eniang said that she would wait for the day when she left the palace in a tough and healthy way, and now she will never see her again, and she can still see each other from time to time when she was a palace maid.

Hongli was a little relieved, but suddenly her lowered eyes were red, and her pursed lips were biting tighter and tighter, and she couldn't bear it for a while, so she said: "I'm leaving, Hongyan, remember my words, this is a secret between you and me and the queen, don't tell others, and you don't want to see the queen laughed at, right?" ”

Hongyan still didn't know whether he nodded or shook his head, but the emperor left, and he finally left a "okay" and left. When Amma separated from herself, she left behind such a sentence, and every word was reluctance and distress for her daughter, but what are the three words of the emperor?

There was a faint movement of "Congratulations to the emperor" outside, Hongyan understood that the holy driver was really leaving, thinking that the concubine was still inside, and there was no one in front of her, so she hurriedly came in with tea. The concubine was very calm and calm, waiting quietly, and when she saw her come back, she smiled and said, "Why is a bowl of tea so long, are you deliberately avoiding the emperor?" This time, the emperor would have gone back early. ”

"The slave met the emperor outside the door, and the emperor explained a few words." Hongyan touched the tea bowl, handed it to the Queen Mother and said, "It's not cold or hot, can you taste it?" ”

The concubine smiled and said, "What did the emperor say to you?" ”

Hongyan was silent, revealing a slightly embarrassed look.

The concubine was not annoyed, looked at her carefully, and said: "Child, let everything go according to fate, you don't want to see everything to death, a good year, and a bright future." ”

Hongyan smiled slightly: "The slave maid just wants to serve the concubine well, you are happy, and the slave and maid will be happy." ”

Let's say that the emperor left Shoukang Palace, he originally came to greet the concubine, and when he saw Hongyan, he only said a few words, and made it clear what should be said, and he didn't plan to entangle Hongyan with anything.

But he stepped into Shoukang Palace, and before he left, the news had spread to the Sixth Palace, and the emperor really went to see that little beauty, and now he was hiding in Shoukang Palace, and even the queen avoided it compared to before, I don't know what the emperor would say to her, or even what to do. And when the emperor left Shoukang Palace, there was some joy in his seemingly peaceful expression, and it was this little look in his eyes that became the evidence of the crime of seducing the emperor with a red face.

At this time, the Hai nobles were taking medicine, these days between the Yangxin Palace and the Ningshou Palace, the palace was humid, she was slightly uncomfortable with nasal congestion, and the imperial doctor prescribed some medicine to remove dampness and cool blood, but at this time, Jia Concubine suddenly broke in, leaned in front of the door and sneered: "Sister, I have been sleeping for a few days, looking forward to giving birth to a little brother, drinking fetal medicine?" ”

Hai Guiren wiped the corners of his mouth, got up to give a salute, and sure enough, his voice was wrong, obviously he was infected with the wind and cold, Jia Concubine couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief, raised her hand and said: "You just stand there and talk, don't come here, don't dye our little brother." ”

"Yes, please take care of your mother." The sea nobles are polite.

Seeing her like this, Jia Concubine was not good at attacking, I thought that after a few days of grace, the tail of the Hai Guiren was going to go to the sky, she was so peaceful but very strange, Jia Concubine was too lazy to pay attention to it, and only sneered: "The emperor went to Shoukang Palace just now, do you know which one to see, don't be too happy, let me see this burst of limelight, the emperor should be generous and take that little slut out of the pair, at that time, there is nothing for you, want to be a favorite concubine?" Die of heart before it's too late. ”

Hai Guiren said with a smile: "The concubine is mediocre, and her qualifications are dull, she is only worthy of being a person who serves people, and she can't even surpass her mother, so how dare she compare with others." ”

Jia Concubine was triumphant, turned around and shook the veil lightly: "You are naturally in this life, don't think about crossing me." But when she walked out of the door, she suddenly understood the meaning of Hai Guiren's words, wasn't this mocking her as inferior to any person, and when she turned around to scold Hai Guiren, she heard the coughing sound in the room, and frowned in disgust, and shouted to Liyun and said harshly: "Go and get the black charcoal from the small kitchen for her to smoke the house, and say that the sick can't stand the moisture, it's my kindness." ”

And Hai Guiren is sick, now can no longer help the emperor to coax the queen mother happy, the emperor after resting for two days, again as before the flow between the harem, naturally Changchun Palace has more days, and what the emperor and queen say, outsiders do not know, but Hongli can feel that the queen can never really show his face, he can only wait patiently, but he repeatedly warned An Yi that he will never allow a next time, and never allow this kind of thing to happen again.

But the reason why the emperor has a gentle and not tough attitude is because there are still other women around him, and he can't give anyone a complete heart after all, so he wants to cherish and treat everyone. But who is light and who is heavy here is also clearly distinguished.

The concubine and the pure concubine have rarely seen the emperor recently, the concubine has always been considerate and gentle, and the pure concubine used cold and arrogance to cover up her little temperament every time she saw it, but in any case, it was the pleasure of the boudoir, and the emperor didn't mind. On the contrary, every time I see Concubine Xian, a quiet and peaceful woman, the emperor didn't think it before, but now he thinks that Concubine Xian is a rare good nature. I remember that she was sick once when she was in the Old Summer Palace, and today she sat in Yikun Palace and asked, "Are you well?" ”

Concubine Xian smiled gently: "The emperor is joking, isn't the concubine good?" ”

The emperor was thoughtful, and then asked: "Since you are all right, I have one thing I want to appoint you, the harem has been established for four years, the queen has been in charge of everything, I have always hoped that she can have a competent person to help, and I have been cold for a long time, or you are the most suitable." ”

"But the concubine doesn't understand anything." Concubine Xian smiled, "The concubines in the palace are the latest to come, they haven't learned any skills, and they are idle all day long when they enter the palace, and the emperor thinks they are reliable?" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "I only ask you, if you want it or not." ”

Concubine Xian actually thought about it seriously, she had a lot of time to spend in a daze every day, and in a daze was to miss the person in her heart, and she always felt that her day was seven or eight hours longer than others, and her days were like years.

If she is busy with some palace affairs, she will probably be able to pass the time, but she doesn't want to trouble this firewood, rice, oil and salt, but she suddenly has a stirring in her heart, she has more contact with the affairs of the palace and more people, will she have the opportunity to see him again in the future? For example, she has to go to Changchun Palace often to ask the queen for advice or revenge, if one day Fu Qing returns to ask for peace, won't she be able to meet it well? At least it's easier to hear.

"Okay?" The Emperor asked again.

Concubine Xian hurriedly got up and left her seat, and bowed her knees to agree: "The concubine has received the decree, if there is anything inconsiderate in the future, please ask the emperor Haihan." ”

Hongli stretched out his hand to support her, and their hands were folded together, Concubine Xian did not have any disgust and resistance, and naturally sat next to the emperor.

At this point, even Hua Rong, who was married, felt that the master was very wonderful, she pretended to be a lover in her heart, but on the other hand, she was a concubine of others, she was just an imperial concubine who didn't seem to be pampered, but had no other shortcomings. When the young lady got married, Hua Rong was always worried that the master would not be able to do a good job as the side fortune of the palace because he couldn't let go of Lord Fu Qing, but everything was the opposite of what she thought, maybe Lord Fu Qing had already started a family, which was a big reason why she could also treat the life she should have. And when Miss was a side Fujin, her grace once overshadowed everyone, making Hua Rong think that Miss would forget Master Fu Qing from now on, but the result was the opposite.

Over the years, Hua Rong has given up speculating on Miss's mind, and now life in the deep palace is not easy, and it is the most important thing to watch the door carefully.

Under the emperor's thoughtfulness, the turmoil caused by Hongyan was finally calmed, although it seemed to be calm, but everyone secretly understood what was going on, but no one broke it. But the emperor knew that others couldn't even have the idea of the shadows, for the peace of the six palaces, for the queen and for the queen mother, he tried his best.

And the queen mother also saw the emperor's sincerity, especially even the person who assisted the queen he personally selected, and asked for his own advice, you must know that the queen mother has always been a little complaining about the queen's commitment to the entire harem, maybe now the queen can still be thoughtful, but the draft is imminent, with more and more people in the palace, the queen must have something that cannot be taken care of. When the queen mother was young, she was the concubine of the first emperor, and in addition to giving birth to Hongli, her primary responsibility was to assist Fujin in housework, and after entering the palace, she continued to assist the queen as Concubine Xi.

In her opinion, this is the responsibility of a concubine, and the queen, as the main family, should not only live in harmony with other sisters, but also put down her posture and manage the emperor's harem with them. Now that this is the case, the harem is on the right track.

The day is getting colder and colder, time is in a hurry, the year is about to pass, the palace is full of lights in the moon to prepare for the new year, the queen mother promised the concubine's family to visit the palace, with the queen as the respect, the people of the Fucha family have long been frequent visitors to the court.

On the day of Laba, the emperor ate Laba porridge from the queen mother in the morning, and rewarded his share of the palace, and in the afternoon he received the family's invitation, when Concubine Xian went to Changchun Palace to seek advice, and the queen discussed the banquet of the young year.

Speaking kung fu, the eldest lady of the Fucha family and several other female relatives came, Concubine Xian deliberately avoided it, the queen felt that she had nothing to say to outsiders, and she didn't have the heart to listen to what her family couldn't say, so she simply left Concubine Xian to sit together. After that, I heard the eldest lady say: "The second master's family has added a little nephew, the letter from a few days ago, the second brother and sister mother and son are safe, it is really rare for her to be so old, it can be seen that God blesses her." The Orkun River is also a place of outstanding people. ”

Before the eldest lady's words fell, she suddenly heard the sound of the teacup breaking, and a palace maid was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and repeatedly accused the slave and maid that she should die, and Hua Rong beside Concubine Xian was in a hurry to wipe the tea for her master, and the queen couldn't help asking: "Is it burned, take a closer look." ”

Concubine Xian got up and said, "The concubine is fine, let the concubine go back and change her clothes." ”
