Yuan Xi got up, stood in front of Jia Yin, and said frankly: "Sister, maybe you don't care, but I understand it in my heart." When I speak to you, I always stand on top, as if I think I have been in the palace for a long time, and I think I know how to survive in the Forbidden City. It's always like I'm teaching you, and I don't really respect you, or even ...... will also take advantage of you. ”

Jia Yin shook her head, took Yuan Xi's hand and said, "But what you say to me will make me very down-to-earth, and everything you say is for my good." As for Jia Yue's child...... For the sake of Dong Yan, it also disappointed me. ”

"But it's cousins, right?" Yuan Xi said, "I can't get over it with my conscience." ”

"Not only that, but the fact that she is my stand-in makes me feel like if I treat her badly, as if I am deliberately mean to her." Jia Yin lowered her eyes, "I also have a lot of heart in my heart." ”

"If only the step-lady were a shrewd and mean person." Yuan Xi sighed, "In order to protect Fei Yangu, my sister has to deal with her stepmother, and she has learned some human feelings and sophistication back and forth, and it will not be like this." But Madame Step-Lady is kind and weak, and treats you and Feiyangu as her own, and the result is ......"

Jia Yin smiled bitterly: "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" However, even if my mother is alive, she probably can't teach me like my aunt taught you, and I'm still stupid after all. ”

"It's not that my sister is stupid, it's that my sister's life is too tortuous, if we entered the palace together six years ago, it would definitely not be like this. Even if it is another draft to enter the palace, instead of ......" Yuan Xi didn't continue, and said, "Sister, one day, if you really put the emperor at the top of your heart, all problems will disappear." ”

Jia Yin looked at Yuan Xi extremely unconfidently: "I can see it, right?" ”

Yuan Xi bowed: "Not all the women in this palace love him, so most people can't see it, but anyone who takes him to heart will feel it." Sister, it's not your fault, but if you can, it's better to calm down and look at the emperor more, not to see if he is good to you, it's his own person. ”

Jia Yin lowered her head and touched her stomach: "I listen to you." ”

Yuan Xi said: "He really, cares about you very much, and doesn't just want to possess you. ”

Jia Yin held Yuan Xi's hand, she is also a woman, even if she still can't fully understand the love between men and women, she can figure out how uncomfortable Yuan Xi should be when she said these words.

But Jia Yin is not in a hurry to cultivate any deep affection with the emperor, and for her, maintaining the stability of the status quo seems to be enough.

She needs to protect this family for Feiyangu, for her deceased father and mother, everything Yuan Xi said, she understands and is very grateful, but Yuan Xi is Yuan Xi after all, she is her.

Jia Yin remembered something, got up and walked to the desk, took out a box from the drawer, and opened it to a set of delicate brushes, but shorter than ordinary pens.

"When Feiyangu was a child, my stepmother and I thought of a lot of ways to make him study well. In the area of Shanlian Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, the pen is the most prestigious, and Ama sent someone to order a number of pens suitable for children, although it will only make two or three years of the situation, it is still very effective. ”

Jia Yin handed it to Yuan Xi: "This is unused, one of the few sets left at home, if you don't dislike it, take one set and give it to the third elder brother." ”

Yuan Xi played with it in his hand, and the small pen took advantage of the child's small hand, which was really cute, and said happily: "I thanked my sister for Xuan Ye, and I, the mother, are the least concerned." ”

While speaking, there was a sudden thunderstorm outside the window, a good day, dark clouds rolled in an instant, the raindrops the size of beans crackled and smashed down, and the dense rain blocked the view like a curtain, and for a while, even the Jingren Palace in front of him couldn't see clearly.

"It's raining so hard, it's so pleasant." Yuan Xi stood under the eaves and said, "It's so hot and stuffy that I can't eat these days, this rain is good, and I can sleep coolly at night." ”

Jia Yin walked slowly with her stomach up, Tian Xiang was worried that the young lady was being pounced by the rain, and she was going to cover it with an umbrella, Yuan Xi took the umbrella, and the sisters stood side by side under the eaves of the palace.

The rain was so strong that the yard soon accumulated into a pond, and Jia Yin said worriedly: "Every summer and autumn, I am most afraid of heavy rains, which will cause the river to flood and become a flood." When I was in Jiangnan, I also took refuge with my family, and the most terrible thing was not only the torrent, but the epidemic raging after the disaster. ”

Yuan Xi said admiringly: "My sister really has a broad vision, I have only heard such words in Cining Palace." Sister, if you are willing, in a few days your body will be stable, I will take you to Cining Palace together, and tell the Queen Mother about the flood you have experienced, the Queen Mother attaches great importance to this, but she is trapped in the capital, and she can't take a look in person. ”

Jia Yin promised: "I will definitely go with you." ”

The lightning in the sky was hideous, the thunder was roaring, Yuan Xi was not afraid, and Jia Yin was not afraid, which made the palace maids and eunuchs on the side very surprised.

And before they returned to the house, the people from the Qianqing Palace came in a hurry, as if the emperor was worried that the imperial concubine was afraid, but he couldn't get out, so he specially sent someone to take a look.

Jia Yin couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but Yuan Xi persuaded her not to take it to heart: "The emperor is such a person, a person who really loves him, and he never hides it." ”

Jia Yin smiled bitterly: "I know." ”

This rainstorm, from day to night, even if it is the capital, it can't withstand such a rain, and the water of the Jinshui River in the Forbidden City also overflows, and the people in the imperial dining room are all wading through the water to carry food boxes and deliver meals to the palace masters.

The next day, although the rain had passed and the sky was clear, the Forbidden City was not as fresh and comfortable as usual after the rain, and the torrential rain was devastating, and the withered branches and leaves could be seen everywhere, and the sludge washed away was very embarrassing.

The imperial city is like this, and I don't know what the situation is outside, and the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace is gloomy.

Listening to the situation of the disaster in various places near the capital, Fu Lin asked the ministers: "The Gyeonggi area is rich in manpower and material resources, and it is not yet possible to effectively drain water and solve problems, and other places can be imagined. I have always said that we must focus on the people's livelihood, but you blindly want to strengthen national defense, I ask you, the common people can't survive anymore, where can you find someone to serve as a soldier? ”

Two days later, the mess in the palace had already been cleaned up, and taking advantage of the cool morning, Yuan Xi came to pick up Jiayin and go to Cining Palace.

Yu'er happened to come out of the Buddha Hall, and when she saw them coming, she said gently: "The imperial concubine is not in good health, did you take her around from the north again?" ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace has been tense these days, and the concubines don't dare to make a mistake. What's more, the imperial doctor has said that he wants to take a walk, Niangniang is not so delicate, don't make a fuss. ”

Yu'er said to Jia Yin: "Look at her, you don't know who she is talking to, the imperial concubine must teach the harem concubines well, especially the one in front of her." ”

The atmosphere between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very good, and Jiayin was immediately relieved, and Yu'er heard that Yuan Xi was talking about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River that she had experienced, and she was immediately interested.

Yuan Xi found a soft cushion for Jia Yin to lean on, it was not too hard, Jia Yin didn't dare to lose her temper in front of the Queen Mother, Yu'er said: "Yuan Xi has no rules here, I like her, you also follow her to learn, when I was young, I never took these things in my eyes." ”

Jia Yin relaxed, found a comfortable position to support her waist that was sore due to pregnancy, and told about her past experience, saying that in late summer and early autumn, typhoons and rains in the south, big trees can be uprooted, rivers flood and wash away houses, and so on.

"Houses and fields have been destroyed, but they can still be built, and I am most afraid that the epidemic will become a disaster and spread everywhere with the movement of refugees." Jia Yin said, "The Queen Mother, it's not that the concubines are alarmist, on the way to refuge, I saw the tragic scene of starvation everywhere, and the smell of burning corpses, and I can still remember it." ”

It seemed that he remembered the smell he had smelled, and the palace maids immediately came to serve and fan the imperial concubine to drive away the heat.

So unfortunately, Fu Lin came to ask for peace, and knew that Jia Yin was here, so he wanted to take a look.

Who knew that when he entered the door and saw this scene, and his mother's face was solemn and serious, and even full of anger, he sighed in his heart, guessing that Jia Yin had made Eniang angry.

"E-Niang......" Fulin stepped forward and asked nervously, "Jiayin, she is unwell, the imperial doctor said that she has more symptoms after pregnancy, which is very difficult, and I ask E-niang to bear with her." ”

Jia Yin looked at it embarrassedly, Yuan Xi didn't know how to speak, this emperor, can't he ask what's going on first?

Although Yu'er is sad that her son doesn't trust her, the feeling of being a mother seeing her own flesh and blood and overly protecting her daughter-in-law in front of her can really only be experienced by being a mother with a son.

But she is the queen mother, and she has more things to care about.

"Fulin, sit down, Jia Yin said a lot of things, I have never heard of it, you come and listen to it." Yu'er didn't care about these little things, and said to Jiayin, "Are you better?" Son, come and sit next to me. ”

Fu Lin was confused, so he saw that Jiayin was helped to his mother's side, and the palace maids brought a round stool for the emperor, Yuan Xi bowed to him, and a room of people sat down again.

Jia Yin held the purse with mint and continued: "The most helpless thing is that the disaster relief silver and grain allocated by the imperial court are often exploited layer by layer, and in the end, most of what the refugees can eat is rice bran, and the medicinal herbs are nowhere to be seen......

Her voice became weaker and weaker, and she lowered her head and said, "Concubine...... It's the truth, Xiao family...... Also, too, greedy. ”

Fu Lin finally understood where Eniang's anger came from, and he asked Jia Yin: "You saw it with your own eyes." ”

Jia Yin bowed his head: "But when I say it, I'm really sorry for them, compared to those big greed, they just follow the trend and have no choice." Please the Queen Mother and the Emperor can be punished lightly. ”
