A few days later, the weather was suddenly cold, as if it was going to snow in September, fortunately, Hongyan and Concubine Yu had already prepared and added charcoal to the palaces in advance, but many people still contracted the wind cold, the queen mother was sick, and the queen was also sick.

The Queen Mother's sick concubine went to see it, and she had a headache and brain fever when she was blowing, and she was not in a good mood, so she could recuperate for a while. Although Hongyan waits outside Ningchun Hall every day, she is sent away by Mama Hua every day, and sometimes a few Ying nobles enter the door in front of her, and the Queen Mother just doesn't see her, saying that it is very hard for the concubine to associate the sixth palace, and there is no need to worry about the Queen Mother.

Everyone thought that the Queen Mother would be frustrated in her heart if she didn't give Concubine Ling face like this, but Hongyan didn't care at all, but it was boring to hear a few mean words. She's doing her duty, not her heart. In contrast, Hongyan is more worried about the queen, the queen must have taken advantage of the cold in the garden, pretending to follow this gust of wind, she didn't want to force the queen to let go of these things, she didn't even say a word, how to force it, but she hoped that the queen could cheer up, now that the second master and the second lady are gone, what else can she toss.

On this day, he Jing entered the palace to visit the Queen Mother, after coming out of Ning Chun Hall, he went to Tiandi to talk to Hongyan in the spring, because there were many sick people in the garden, she did not bring her son in, but stole half a day of idle work, lazily leaned against the sun under the open window, held the hand stove and said: "But hide in you, only a little leisure, it is too hard to take a child, I don't want to have another child." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Settle down with what you encounter, what do you say in front of me that you don't want to live, and you're not afraid that I'll be sad?" ”

He Jing looked at Hongyan: "I heard that Concubine Shu ate the prescription prescribed by the Mongolian doctor, why don't you eat it?" ”

Hongyan said: "After eating, it's useless and put it down, you don't have to bother to persuade me, I understand the reason, but I don't want to push myself into a hurry." ”

He sighed: "You are so good, Eniang just forced herself to be anxious at the beginning, I know that she is bitter in her heart." ”

Up to now, mentioning the queen is the one who picks up the Xiushan House, except for occasionally mentioning the queen of Daxing when gossiping with the emperor, in addition to comparing the two queens with Concubine Yu, even though the Changchun Immortal Pavilion is still the same as before, it may be that only her daughter is thinking about Queen Fucha all the time.

He Jing's eyes were slightly red, but in the end he endured it, picked up the toys that Buddha played with, and said with a smile: "I'm not as good as Eniang, Eniang uses all her thoughts on our brothers and sisters, but I am often impatient, I want to cry and hide when the child is naughty, but fortunately, he Ama is reliable, he wants to take the small one, and he also has to take the big one with me." ”

"It will be fine in a few years." Hongyan said gently. She knew in her heart that the queen had the support of her elders back then, even if the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not as good as that seen by outsiders, the queen mother really loved her grandchildren, and Hejing now has no elders to rely on, everything has to rely on herself, she raised the Buddha, even if happiness and joy are far more than hard work, but if she is bitter, she will never doubt it.

Hongyan's only worry is that He Jing will slowly become like the queen, she hopes that He Jing can put down everything and enjoy her life, and said at this moment: "Fu Longan is also older, your aunt can't often bring him to play, Fo'er is a child who is naturally afraid of loneliness, and now that he is sensible, he knows that he can't pester me to make trouble, and sometimes he sees her alone sullen and patient, which is really distressing." If you are bored, send the little brother in and I will raise it for you, you and the forehead are still so young, go outside and do what you want to do, what do you want to do, does Huang Ama still not agree? ”

He Jingxiao asked, "Are you really willing to raise it for me?" I just don't think I can let go now, and I hesitated for a long time to leave him into the garden today. ”

At this time, Cherry came to tell him, saying that Lu Guiren was asking to see him outside, and He Jing asked him to come in, but Cherry said that Lu Guiren didn't want to disturb the princess and Niangniang talking, and He Jing arrived at what she couldn't listen to, put down the stove and said: "It's not early, what am I thinking about that little thing." You can remember what you said, I'll send him another day, but I don't care anymore. ”

Hongyan sent her to the door and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you don't care, I'm afraid that you will think I'm hungry and lose weight for your baby." ”

After He Jing left, Lu Guicai came in, Hongyan heard her say that she came back from the Xiushan House, Lu Guidao: "The queen mother is infected with the cold, and Concubine Shu asked the concubine to greet her on her behalf." ”

Hongyan asked her to sit down and took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything wrong, the queen didn't see you?" ”

Lu Guiren looked left and right, and said to Hongyan: "See, but there is a screen, because it is the queen who is drinking medicine at that time." ”

Hongyan nodded, but Lu Guiren said: "The concubine has served Concubine Shu for a whole year, and the taste of the fetal medicine she eats has been engraved into the concubine's bones." Today, I watched the queen take medicine in the Jiexiu Mountain House, and smelled the breath, which was not like the medicine of wind and cold, but it was somewhat similar to Concubine Shu's fetal medicine. ”

Hongyan frowned slightly: "You're here to say these things to me?" ”

Lu Guidao: "The concubine feels strange, Concubine Shu has been a little more impetuous recently, it was just a few gossips, but I was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so I wanted to talk to Niangniang." ”

This thing is indeed new, Lu Guiren has taken care of Concubine Shu for so long, and reminded her to take the medicine on time every day, the smell of the medicine is even familiar to Hongyan, and Lu Guiren will not smell wrong. But for Lu Guiren, maybe he was just curious about why the queen pretended to be sick and drank fetal medicine, but for Hongyan, this matter is of great significance.

Did the queen really put Fu Er Ye down, she even hoped that she could have a man and a woman with the emperor? Thinking that she has been serving the king for many years, she has been far longer than herself, if she is not dedicated to others, it is really difficult for people in high positions to live such a life. But because she can't wait to give her body and mind to Fu Erye, it doesn't matter if she doesn't have children for the rest of her life, and now she suddenly starts taking fetal pills, Hongyan can't help but sigh in her heart, how good it would have been if she had opened up a few years earlier.

This matter, Hongyan can only say to Ruyin, but Ruyin waited for a month before entering the garden again, at that time the first snow had already fallen in the garden, and the day she came was also snowing heavily, as soon as she entered the house, she said: "Sister, the sun is like spring here, I am going to melt." ”

Hongyan smiled: "Warm up here with me, and then go to your sister's, don't go with the cold." ”

When Fo'er saw that her aunt was coming, she went all over the world to find Fu Longan, but she was already sensible, knowing that Fu Longan was going to enter the study next year, and now she was enlightened by Mr. Private School at home, she muttered a few times and pulled the nurse to go, did not come to entangle Hongyan and Ruyin, but called Ruyin distressed and said: "In the end, the girl is good, my two boys are not so caring." ”

Hongyan also felt sorry for the child, and said to Ruyin: "Bring it in the moon, let her be happy, where are there so many rules." ”

Later, Ruyin told Hongyan Fucha about the family, and Hongyan told her that the queen was taking fetal pills, and sure enough, even Ruyin said: "How good it would have been for her to do this a few years ago, but now it's too late." The more she talked about such a thing, the heavier it became, Ruyin remembered another thing, and said to Hongyan: "Fu Heng has already started to be busy, the emperor is going to tour the south after the Lantern Festival in the first month, does my sister know?" ”

Hongyan bowed: "I know, the emperor told me last year." ”

Ruyin was stunned and sighed: "Sister in the end, anything new is not uncommon with you, the emperor will tell you everything." ”

Hongyan is naturally proud, but she will only show it to Ruyin: "It's just a sentence, what's so strange." ”

Fu Heng said that the route of the southern tour will cross the Yellow River and then take a boat along the canal to the south, passing through Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Jiaxing to Hangzhou, back and forth for about two months, and when you come back, the capital should be spring.

That year, the emperor took the queen to Mount Tai, originally going all the way south to enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but the queen died in Texas, and the matter of going south was put on hold for several years, and it was inevitable for the emperor to go south to play in the mountains and rivers, but there were also things to do in his court, not to mention that he was no longer sad and willing to take that road again, and he could not always leave the affairs of the country alone.

Ruyin asked, "Sister must go, right?" ”

Hongyan bowed: "Naturally, I want to go." ”

But in Layue, Ruyin took Fulongan into the garden again, but Hongyan privately told her that she didn't plan to tour the south, just because someone had to stay to take care of the affairs in the palace, and she and Concubine Yu always had to keep one. That day, she overheard Yongqi say to Concubine Yu that she hoped that Eniang could go to Jiangnan with him, but Concubine Yu said that she would stay and take care of the affairs of the palace.

Ruyin knew that Hongyan really loved the fifth elder brother, but she also said: "I'm afraid that the emperor won't agree." ”

Sure enough, waiting for the palace to finally confirm the list of people who traveled, Concubine Ling was not on the list, she didn't greet the emperor in advance, and she didn't mention it to Concubine Yu, don't say that they were surprised, even the Queen Mother felt incredible. said to Mama Hua: "Does she think that this time the emperor will take me to go, she will not go?" Does she want the emperor not to take me with him this time? ”

Naturally, this is not the case, but no matter how Hongyan explains, Hongli does not agree, saying that the affairs in the palace are naturally taken care of, why do you have to keep her, the two have not spoken for several days. After the emperor came to visit, Hongyan sent him out, and separated in front of the spring gate of the heaven and earth, Hongyan pulled the emperor's sleeve and said: "Sister Shu's body is not very good, if we all leave, how pitiful it is for her to be alone at home." The concubines and the emperor have a long life, the emperor will go first this time to see where it is fun, and then take the concubines next time. ”

Concubine Shu's appearance Hongli saw it, and it was true that she couldn't leave her alone in the palace, but it was also unreasonable to leave Concubine Yu to take Hongyan away, and seeing that Hongyan was so sincere and sincere, he felt a little guilty, so he softened his heart and said: "That's it, I will go early and return early." ”

Hongyan smiled softly: "Jiangnan is in good spring, the emperor is willing to come back?" ”
