Let's say that Huanchun was entangled by the grandmother arranged by the fifth princess, but she has been in the palace for so many years, even if she can't see things with her own eyes, there will be trusted palace people who will watch and listen to her for her.

Half an hour later, the princesses were still playing in Ningshou Palace, and Huanchun had returned to Yonghe Palace, and described the scene of the two ladies sharing sugar gourds under the tree to the master.

Concubine De's heart softened when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Although the two sisters did not grow up together, their relationship is not bad at all, and the other ones who are raised together are all due to the teaching of the Queen Mother." ”

Huanchun said: "The slave maid didn't see that scene, my heart is strange, our five princesses are really old, and they all know how to leave the slave and maid." ”

Concubine De smiled calmly: "I also want to see, but it is common to not see them in the future, the child is older, and when it is time to let go, you can't hesitate." Even if I take care of their siblings wholeheartedly, it is still because I am not paying attention, and they grow up, and it is enough to know that they are good. ”

Huanchun smiled: "Isn't it, the slaves and maids don't dare to think that the fourth elder brother will actually go to the street to buy sugar gourds in person, just to make the fourth elder brother happy, is this still our fourth elder brother?" ”

Concubine De said with satisfaction: "It is much stronger than his emperor Amma." ”

"My son is stronger than me, where is the strength?" But I heard the emperor's voice coming, but I didn't see the figure, Concubine De and Huanchun hurriedly came out, and the emperor was standing in front of the door, looking at the bundle of sugar gourds that were tied like hedgehogs.

"The emperor is auspicious, why did he come here suddenly?"

"Didn't you hear that there are sugar gourds to eat in Yonghe Palace?"

Concubine De stepped forward to take off the windbreaker for the emperor and asked him to enter the door to keep warm, while asking: "Why is it still spreading, can the concubines not share it with other children, this is what Yinzhen bought for his younger brothers and sisters, and it is not enough for them to eat." ”

The emperor was disgusted: "What is valuable, I am reluctant to share it." ”

Concubine De said unceremoniously: "It's worthless, if the other children can't eat, will their mothers still hate me?" ”

"Talk back!" The emperor said angrily, "Wen Xian and the Fourteenth are just with you." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Concubine De smiled, and really told Huanchun, "If there are other palaces that come to ask for sugar gourds, they will say that they are gone, and they will go back and let the imperial dining room make them, and the things outside dare not be eaten by the prince and princess." ”

The emperor drank hot tea and listened to the master and servant muttering about it, until Huanchun retreated with the palace maid, and Concubine De quietly returned to him.

"Do you want to take a break, tired?"

"Well, let's go after a while."

Concubine De took off her shoes and knelt on the couch so that the emperor could lie down on her knees, and gently rubbed the corners of her forehead and eyebrows for him, and said nothing.

The emperor pretended to sleep for a while, and after his body was relaxed, he opened his eyes slightly and said: "Tomorrow, Fuquan will lead troops to attack Galdan, and when the time comes, martial law will be imposed in Beijing, and Yinzhen will live in the Jiumen camp. ”

Concubine De hurriedly said: "This is unacceptable, let the soldiers see it, you should laugh at the fourth elder brother for being a doll who has not been weaned, wouldn't it be a shame for her son." The soldiers can be fed and clothed, Yinzhen is naturally okay, and the concubines don't worry about it, don't be self-defeating, but be complained by their son. ”

"How dare he?"

"Your Majesty, you obviously deliberately teased me, why do you blame your son?"

The emperor smiled: "You, you are not as fun as when you were young, and you believe everything I said when I was young." ”

Concubine De said: "I believe it now, but I don't dare to be stupid, no matter how stupid I am at this age, can the emperor still count on me?" ”

The Emperor smiled and asked, "What do I expect from you?" ”

Concubine De said: "Just now, let you rest at ease for a while." ”

The Emperor patted her hand comfortably, and slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, there was movement outside the window, and Concubine De looked back vigilantly, for fear that an assassin would hurt the emperor, but she saw the two girls sticking to the window, smiling like flowers, I don't know when they came, they actually dared to peek at Huang Ama and Eniang.

"It's your precious girls."

"Let them in, I miss my girl."
