That night, Ruyin didn't remember when she fell asleep, but she remembered Fu Heng's breathing sound that was different from usual before falling asleep, and the next morning Fu Heng got up and faced as usual, Ruyin woke up clearly, but felt that Fu Heng carefully covered her with the quilt, so she closed her eyes and didn't open them.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door opening and heard the maid whispering to Fu Heng that Ruyin quietly opened her eyes. In the morning light that was not yet clear, Fu Heng put on his clothes lightly, and even moved his washing outside for fear that the sound of water would disturb him. But Ruyin didn't get up like that, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Fu Heng, who was neatly dressed, to return to the bedroom, and looked at Ruyin again by the bed, there was almost no footsteps coming and going, and when Ruyin heard him speak, Fu Heng was already in front of the door.

She heard her husband instructing his subordinates: "It's cold, remember to warm your clothes before putting them on for Fu Jin, don't ask her to cover her cold clothes by herself." ”

Ruyin hugged the quilt and turned over, and put her hand into Fu Heng's quilt, which was still a little warm, I don't know what he was thinking about this night, but when he woke up, he could be the first to think of himself, and Ruyin was satisfied.

"This matter, you can't just leave it at that." The intelligent and capable hostess, with the courage to not be violated by outsiders, wants to guard her husband and protect this home.

In the Old Summer Palace, the palace people under the Queen Mother were heavily reprimanded for the rumors that Concubine Ling and Fucha Fu Heng were ambiguous, and after a night, the trend in the palace was indeed suppressed, but they could be gagged, but they couldn't control their hearts, and the atmosphere in the garden was very strange. Last night, the emperor spent time alone in Shao Jingxuan, neither going to the palace of the concubines, nor sleeping with other concubines, even if it was not an unusual thing, but it was unusual to look at everything that happened that day.

Early in the morning, Hongyan was waiting outside the imperial concubine's palace, and Concubine Yu came from Kyushu Qingyan, and the two of them wanted to tell the imperial concubine about what they wanted to do today, and get the imperial concubine's guidance and instructions, and then go to the proper one by one. Due to the tight schedule, Concubine Yu has not yet discussed yesterday's events with Hongyan, but the imperial concubine, who has always seemed to be interested in everything, actually took the initiative to ask Hongyan about the rumors, but she obviously didn't care about Hongyan, but cared about the Fucha family.

Hongyan naturally tried her best to deny what the rumors were referring to, she explained, while watching the change in the imperial concubine's expression, guessing that the imperial concubine might be thinking about her and Fu Erye, if it was rumored that she and Fu Erye were ambiguous, I don't know what the imperial concubine's attitude would be.

After listening to Hongyan's words, the imperial concubine sighed lightly and ordered: "Since the emperor and the queen mother have a strict decree, you should not be too kind, and if someone spreads such words, if you catch one, you will be severely punished." If you are soft-hearted, you should let those bad-hearted minions bully you. ”

Hongyan and Concubine Yu took the order, and then arranged several other things, and when they left, Hua Rong said nervously to the imperial concubine: "Master, you have seen it, I don't know what will happen to Concubine Ling, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not stop there, you are the future queen chosen by the emperor and the Queen Mother, if you are also involved in such a thing, I am afraid that you will take the lives of a group of people." ”

The imperial concubine smiled bitterly: "Fucha Fu Heng often goes in and out of the palace, and the emperor has sent him several times to protect the concubine Ling, and they can see each other from time to time, and it is not uncommon for them to be ambiguous." Which one am I going to pass with, that person is not in front of the door, Hua Rong, do you remember when I last saw him? ”

Hua Rong knew that during the queen's funeral, no matter whether it was true or not, everyone showed grief, for fear that one less tear would anger the emperor, but only her master's heart was not on the queen's funeral at all, maybe the queen's death would make her feel sorry and regretful, but what she cared about the most was that she could meet Fu Erye at the funeral. It's a pity that Second Master Fu returned to Beijing for the funeral, but I don't know if it was an intention or a coincidence, and he couldn't let the imperial concubine meet.

The imperial concubine's eyes were misty, as if she was longing for something, and muttered to herself: "If this kind of thing is true, it must be happy with each other, if I can really tell Brother Fu Qing something, it is my creation." ”

On this side, Concubine Yu followed Hongyan to her palace, and Concubine Shu also came over early in the morning, both of them were concerned about yesterday's events, Hongyan was very grateful, but she really didn't know where to talk to them.

Concubine Yu said: "If someone wants to frame you, you can't make up a person out of thin air, but you do have some dealings with Lord Fucha, although they are all arranged by the emperor, but they are making people have something to say." The emperor may not be suspicious of you, but he is only afraid that he will not be able to get over it, this is not something that can be erased by a single sentence, even if he trusts you 100,000 points, he will be somewhat stumped in his heart. ”

Concubine Shu said: "The emperor didn't have a stalk about the prince back then, but this time he can't let it go?" ”

Concubine Yu said: "You are still young and can't see through a man's mind. Although many people saw the incident with the prince back then, it was precisely because they saw it that they knew that they were clearly framed, and the emperor didn't think much about it at all. But now Hongyan and Lord Fucha have been in contact several times, although they are all arranged by the emperor, but the emperor can't see others or see them, and he will think more if he can't see them. ”

Concubine Shu said coldly: "I'm here to say this, and it's a capital crime to say it." The emperor himself hugged the concubines left and right, and if he coaxed you to be happy today, I don't know which one to say tomorrow, and if he doesn't say that he will feel sorry for us, he will be sad, and he will doubt our loyalty? ”

Hongyan listened to Concubine Shu's words, knowing that she was now looking at this sisterhood with her heart, she was very pleased, and pressed Concubine Shu's hand and said: "Sister, you must not say this a second time, he is the emperor and the sky, only ours is not, not without him." ”

Concubine Shu wanted to say something again, but seeing that Hongyan and Concubine Yu both shook their heads at her, she held back unconvinced.

"But I didn't fail to do this." Hongyan's eyes gradually became cold, but it was not cold to Hongli, but the intention of hating the rumor-mongers, she said to Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu, "Since you mentioned the matter of Prince He, do your sisters know who framed me back then?" ”

Concubine Yu frowned: "Concubine Chun once committed suicide by swallowing gold in front of the Queen Mother to show her innocence, and at that time it was inexplicably rumored that she framed you, you say so, is it true?" ”

Concubine Shu had a holiday with Concubine Chun, and said hatefully: "Why didn't you choke her to death in the first place?" ”

Concubine Yu said: "Could it be her again?" ”

Hongyan closed his eyes and breathed slowly, calmed down his impetuous heart, and said: "This time I can't suffer a dumb loss again, I naturally want to prove my innocence, but even if it is for the sake of the queen's mother, I must give the Fucha family an innocence." ”

Concubine Yu said: "If you really want to find out who is behind the scenes, there will always be a way to do it in time." Hongyan ......," Concubine Yu said cautiously, "It's still the same sentence, how can I keep the emperor from worrying about it?" ”

Hongyan was silent, and Concubine Shu sighed softly beside her: "If this master has a guilty heart for us, it will be easy to do." ”

In the days that followed, the emperor was busy with government affairs, and rested in Shaojingxuan at night, and occasionally called Lu Guiren to go to Shaojingxuan to accompany him, and there were only a handful of days when he had concubines to sleep. But he didn't neglect his face because of this, and from time to time he would come to Tiandi to sit in the spring, but it was just a cup of tea, and he had fun with Buddha for a while, and he left not long after.

Others saw that Concubine Ling had not fallen out of favor, but Hongyan could feel that when they were together, they were in a different mood than before, and they couldn't say whether the emperor was still in their hearts, and Hongyan couldn't get over it. But that's something that can't be mentioned, and after saying it in Ning Chuntang, I won't mention it again, Hongli is enough to give her face, and Hongyan will rashly say it clearly, as the Queen Mother said, it will only get darker and darker.

Cherry was very worried that the master would be cold to the emperor because of this, but Hongyan said: "This is the same as when he was accompanied by other women in the past day and night, I don't know what happened if I can't see it, he once said sweet words to me, and asked if he had said it to other people when he joked, but when it was serious, there was nothing to do." He may not suspect me of being unfaithful, but I can't get over this hurdle, and I can't let go of it myself, let alone him. ”

Cherry blamed herself for not being able to help her master, but Hongyan had already calculated in her heart and instructed her: "You want to go and make an appointment with Huqin, I have something to say to her." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was October, because the emperor suddenly colded the harem concubines, and the queen mother ignored it, the atmosphere of the garden was as gloomy and depressing as the climate before the winter, and finally after the north wind overnight, the sky cleared, and when I saw the bright sunshine in the morning, I would unconsciously smile.

These days, the Buddha already knows what a birthday is, knowing that it is her third birthday in the month of Layue, and asks this and that around Eniang every day, for fear that others will forget her birthday.

On this day, Ruyin entered the garden, put Fulong in Hongyan to play with the little princess, and accompanied Concubine Shu to walk around the garden, Hongyan looked at the children, and most of the day passed quickly, and was trying to let the palace people go to find Concubine Shu and Ruyin back for lunch, and said that Concubine Shu had come back, as if she had soiled her clothes and came back to replace.

Hongyan thought that Ruyin also came back with her, so she brought Fu Longan and Fo'er over, she took a child in one hand, talked and laughed to the east hall, and before she entered Concubine Shu's door, she suddenly saw a group of people coming in from the main entrance of the spring of the heaven and earth family, and Concubine Shu happened to change her clothes and came out of the door.

From outside, it was Jia Guifei, in addition to coming to ask the imperial concubine for peace, this person who had never come to the door of the world family in the spring, Hongyan thought that she was missing something to theorize, but she didn't expect Jia Guifei to rush straight to Concubine Shu, and raised her hand and gave her a slap.

No one expected such a thing to happen, the two children were so frightened that they cried, and Hongyan asked the nurse to take the child away quickly, but she heard Jia Guifei scold: "Faceless and skinless things, the women of your Nalan family are all fox spirits?" Where is your sister, where is she? ”

Concubine Shu was ashamed and anxious, and said angrily: "What kind of nerves are you having again, what's wrong with Ruyin?" ”
