When night falls, the Palace of Heart Nourishing is still brightly lit.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest after a tiring day, the concubine has come to the palace several times, does the emperor want to go over and have a look?" Su Peisheng looked at the emperor and put down the red pen, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

The emperor rubbed his eyes and was tired: "It's okay, I will go to Weiyang Palace to sit down." ”

Before he reached the gate of the palace, he heard Ankang's heroic laughter from afar, and the emperor unconsciously smiled.

When the sedan chair fell, he walked into Weiyang Palace, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that several children were there. Ankang is the most skinny, sitting on the tree shaking a fan and laughing, there is no grace and elegance after the teaching of the mother, the sixth elder brother is holding his hands under the tree, for fear that Ankang will fall, Haoyue is so quiet that he stands aside with a cloth tiger, and is amused by Ankang and bends his eyes with a smile, only the seventh elder brother is held in the arms of the nurse, babbling and shouting.

"What day is it? It's so lively. As soon as the emperor spoke, everyone looked at him.

"Say hello to the emperor, the emperor is blessed with gold." Everyone bowed down, but only in good health.

"Huang Ama!" An Kang happily climbed down from the tree, frightened the sixth elder brother in a panic, waved his hands and feet, and was able to protect her to the ground, and said thank you, and Ankang ran to the emperor, "Ankang has been waiting for a long time, but Huang Ama has not come, and I thought I would not come today." She pulled the emperor's trouser leg and reached out to hug it.

The emperor picked her up, walked to Haoyue, lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, Haoyue won't smile when she sees me." ”

"What is it, the child is still young, as soon as the emperor hugs her, she laughs." Concubine Jing smiled and spoke, lowered her eyes and said to Haoyue, "Haoyue, call Huang Ama quickly." ”

The emperor put down Ankang and picked up Haoyue again, and turned it twice: "Concubine Hui took good care of Haoyue, and it was heavy." ”

Haoyue hugged the little tiger and glanced at the emperor in ignorance, and only after being hugged and put down did she react, and quietly shouted crisply: "Huang Ama." ”

The emperor smiled, looked at the jade collar around her neck, his eyes couldn't help but soften for a moment, and he reached out and touched her head. After looking up, his eyes fell on the table with only a few small bowls, and he couldn't help joking: "It's rare for Rong'er to open a small stove, why don't you wait for me to come over before opening the table?" ”

"The emperor also said that the concubine sent people to the Yangxin Palace to invite three or four times, but she couldn't wait for the emperor, seeing that it was dark, the food was cold, and the children were hungry, so the banquet was opened." An Lingrong pretended to be angry and shook the emperor with a handkerchief, "The emperor's nobles are busy, and it is common sense not to come, how can the concubines afford to wait." ”

"When did I say I wouldn't come?" The emperor also cooperated with her acting, pretending to be annoyed, and sat down at the banquet, "I'm also hungry, I don't care what I do, take it to let me cushion my stomach." ”

An Lingrong sneered: "Laugh with the emperor." If the emperor doesn't come, how dare the concubines eat first, Sister Mei and Sister Concubine Jing are hungry and wait until now, and they just feed a few children. As she spoke, she asked the dill to be served.

"Nizi is slippery, I know you haven't eaten yet." The emperor also smiled, and raised his hand to signal Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing to sit down together, "What day is it today, that you have worked so hard to cook?" ”

Shen Meizhuang's expression stiffened slightly, Concubine Jing smiled a little helplessly, and was about to open her mouth to prevaricate, but An Lingrong directly poked it lightly: "Today is April 17th, Sister Zhen's birthday." Sister Mei said that she has been crying at night recently, and the concubine thought that maybe it was because of the mother-daughter connection, so she asked Sister Mei to bring Haoyue over to worship the moon to show a little heart. ”

She smiled generously, stretched out her hand to scoop a bowl of perch soup for the emperor and handed it over: "When I saw Haoyue, the concubine remembered the sixth elder brother, so I invited Sister Jing to come over...... The emperor tasted it, this white jade sea bass soup has been stewed for three hours, the most delicious, the emperor has been busy for a day, first drink two sips to warm the stomach. ”

Concubine Jing secretly took a breath of cold air when she heard her talk about Zhen Huan, for fear that the emperor would smash the bowl in a second.

However, the emperor only changed his expression slightly, took a bite slowly with the bowl, and said in a low voice: "Yes, today is April 17......" There is no follow-up.

At a meal, Concubine Jing was frightened, on the other hand, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong, one was calm and moderate, the other was smiling, and they were not affected at all, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"I went to say hello to the queen this morning and talked about the Dragon Boat Festival. Listening to the queen's mother, the emperor is tired of the festival of making zongzi, and wants to hold a dragon boat race in the Old Summer Palace this year? An Lingrong ate the new bamboo shoots, and when he saw the emperor nodding, he said with a smile, "The concubine also thinks that this move is very good, it is rare to have such a lively event in the palace, but it is still boring to watch it so dryly, it is better to order the lot, let the sisters follow the bet, guess which ship wins the championship in the end, and the one who guesses correctly can win the jackpot, and everyone participates in it." What does the emperor think? ”

"The queen also came to tell me about this today, and there is inevitably a suspicion of gathering crowds to gamble." The emperor slowly ate a mouthful of eggplant, the salty and rich sauce spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and change his mind, "But the order doesn't involve money, and it doesn't hurt to just have fun and fun." He looked at An Lingrong and smiled slightly, "I heard the queen say, you took the Nine Turns Flying Phoenix Golden Silk Emerald Makeup Box to make a color head?" ”

"The concubine doesn't have anything good, so she has to use the emperor's reward to fill the façade, don't blame the emperor." An Lingrong blinked slyly, smiling brightly and brightly.

The emperor was not annoyed, but only said "slippery" to her.

After the meal was over, the emperor did not stay overnight, and after sitting for a while, he set up the Yanxi Palace.

"I really sweated for you during the banquet." Concubine Jing still had palpitations, "I still remember the day when the moon was full, I only mentioned half a sentence, and the emperor was so angry that I was scared." As she spoke, she sighed again, "I have already seen that the emperor has put down the concubine on the surface, but in fact, he is still thinking about it." Since Concubine Hui moved into Broken Yuxuan, the emperor didn't go to see the moon much, and he went to the first birthday banquet once, but he sat in the empty main hall for most of the day. ”

"It doesn't matter if the emperor comes to break Yuxuan or not, I only think about Huan'er." Shen Meizhuang hugged Haoyue and brought her a soft jujube cake, her eyes full of worry, "I don't know if she is doing well outside the palace?" Since the Queen Mother fell ill intermittently last winter, even Aunt Fangruo had to leave the palace. ”

"It's okay, it's going to be okay." Concubine Jing hurriedly said, "Concubine Guan is a good person, no one will bully her anymore, don't worry." ”

"In the first month, when I accompanied the emperor to visit King Guojun and came back, in fact, the royal driver was about to walk to Ganlu Temple, and I wanted to go in and have a look, but who knows, seeing that I was about to arrive at the door, the emperor had a sudden change in his sacred heart and ordered him to return to Luan." An Lingrong sighed lightly and said, "Sister Mei, not only do we think about Sister Zhen, in fact, the emperor also thinks about her in his heart, but no one gives him a step, and he can't come down." ”

"What does the emperor think about? I hope that Huan'er will not come back to the palace again, and let her go far away, as long as she is doing well. Shen Meizhuang frowned, "It's just that the Zhen family has not been wronged now, and she can't get out freely." ”

Yes, how can any woman in the palace live for herself, parents, brothers, relatives, lintels, all of them are dragging.

An Lingrong took a sip of tea, looked at the heavy night outside the window, lowered his eyebrows, and sighed softly.

In Jingren Palace, the queen took care of even a trace of her sideburns, and sat upright and drank a sip of tea: "You are all looking at Concubine Rong now, and this palace thought that you would not come tonight." ”

Concubine Min sat on the couch on the other side, and under the seat was a jade nobleman, the two glanced at each other, after all, it was Concubine Min who spoke first: "Niangniang sent someone to Yikun Palace, saying that there is a very important matter to inform the concubine, it is a major matter related to the life and death of the Hu family, involving the mother's family, of course the concubine must come to ask the queen mother clearly." ”

The queen chuckled: "It wasn't a big deal, but now, it's a terrible thing." She smiled gently, but her words were like sharp knives, "In that year's draft, your sister Hu Yunrong was privately taught and accepted before the palace election, and committed a big crime, Mrs. Hu once used the name of Princess Rongxian to make friends, and finally asked the emperor for forgiveness, and let you replace your sister into the palace, which can be regarded as a reputation for the royal family and your Hu family." She gently put down the teacup, "But recently, the palace has heard some rumors, saying that your Hu family has nothing to do with the eldest princess's mansion, and your mother Feng Lianxiu is not the blood of Ulgon, but your biological grandmother, Feng Chan, the maid of the eldest princess Rongxian, was conceived after fornication!" ”

Concubine Min's face faded to blood in an instant, and she looked at the queen, only to feel that she had a blue face and fangs, and her face was terrifying.

"Concubine Min, I don't know if your Hu family can bear this crime of bullying the king?" The queen showed a smile that she was determined to win, and looked at Concubine Min for a long time.

Concubine Min was frightened, even her father and sister Hu Yunrong didn't know this secret, she also overheard it by chance when she was a child, just like the queen said, it wasn't a big deal, her mother was taught by Princess Rongxian, even if she was half a daughter, she usually claimed that she was the bloodline of Princess Rongxian, and the eldest princess did not deny it, and the matter passed vaguely.

When she was young, she only felt that this thing was fake, and her background was not really so noble, but it was different to say this in front of the emperor.

The crime of bullying the king, that is going to make the whole family lose their heads!

Concubine Min only reacted in hindsight at this moment, her entry into the palace, her favor, all of this is based on "she is the bloodline of Princess Rongxian", if the cornerstone collapses, then what she has now will no longer exist - let alone think about the phoenix seat.

"If you hold something in your hands for a long time, even if it is not your own, you will subconsciously think that it is your own thing." The queen slowly fiddled with the armor in her hand, sighed, and then looked at Concubine Min and said, "Since you take Concubine Rong as the horse's head, why don't you go and beg her to see if she can save you?" After speaking, the queen herself couldn't help but laugh first, "But this palace advises you, it's better not to ask." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Min Concubine gritted her teeth and asked.

"When Concubine Rong first entered the palace, it was just a small promise, and her father was only eight grades, but now she has become a concubine, and she has both children under her knees, and her father is an official from the third grade, and he has also been awarded a knighthood, this sky-high promotion is really breathtaking." The queen suddenly talked about An Lingrong, "Concubine Rong has no shortage of scheming, city government, and means, her first criterion is to protect herself, I think back then, even if her best sister Guan Concubine suffered, she could stand by and watch, let alone you." She shook her head sympathetically, "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask for it, and this palace can wait for you again." ”

The queen's words have been openly and openly thrown an olive branch to Concubine Min, if she is willing to surrender, this matter will always be a secret, if she refuses to surrender, then the matter will be stabbed in front of the emperor, and the Hu family will suffer.

And Concubine Min was also forced to a desperate point at this time.

She bit her lower lip so hard that she almost bleed. Maybe the queen had been thinking about her from the beginning, and she was stupid enough to think that she was well disguised.
