In the eighth year of Yongzheng, Tongxin gave birth to a son in Prince Bao's mansion, and suddenly the emperor named the child Yonglian.Because of the loss of Huan'er, Tongxin cherishes this child even more, but he still has some regrets in his heart.Hongli gently stroked his wife's hair, and asked gently, "Lian'er was born so handsome, aren't you happy" Tongxin looked at his son who didn't cry or make trouble, and pouted, "I thought it was a daughter, so it's like Huan'er is back with me." ”The corners of Hongli's lips hooked, leaned over to kiss her eyebrows, and whispered, "It's a big deal, if we keep up the good work, I will definitely let you have another daughter." ”Just after giving birth, Tongxin's face was pale, but after hearing this, his fair face was suddenly dyed with a touch of red, which was particularly conspicuous.Tongxin stretched out his hand and stroked his little face, and secretly glanced at Jing Xian and Gao Yingyue beside the bed, and the two stood respectfully together, their faces as usual, as if they hadn't seen the scene on the bed at all.Since they entered the palace, Hongli began to be angry with himself, even if he went to Lianxiang, he would never enter the room of the two of them.Lianxiang's belly is also competitive, and she was pregnant again some time ago.Although Gao Yingyue's temperament is a little arrogant, she is devoted to Hongli, even if Hongli ignores her, as long as she stays by his side, she is satisfied.And Jing Xian, but her temperament is very calm, she loves to copy scriptures and recite Buddha in the Buddhist hall on weekdays, and she is even more indifferent to Hongli's husband, not so much that Hongli is cold to her, but that she avoids Hongli.Since Yinlan's death, Tongxin has been more wary of the women of the Wulanala clan, but he is obviously a little worried about Jingxian.Later, as the belly got bigger and bigger, most of Tongxin's thoughts were also put on the child, Hongli saw that she was getting harder and harder, and he didn't gamble with her anymore, but accompanied her all day long, for fear that she would accidentally fall and bump into it, so that the child would be born early.As everyone wished, the child was born safely, Hongli was also a little relieved, looking at the baby in the swaddling powder, the shortcomings in his heart also made up for most of the shortcomings, he and Tongxin finally had a child again."
Sister" Fucha Tongyu suddenly rushed into the door happily, and Yaqin, who followed behind, hurriedly closed the door, for fear of pouring in a cool breeze.Looking at his sweaty younger brother, he hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and asked gently, "I came here so early after reading today's book." ”"I've finished reading, just waiting for my brother-in-law to teach me kung fu."
Fucha Tongyu is now an eleven-year-old child, and his conversation is less immature than before.As soon as he heard Tongyu casually call his brother-in-law, Tongxin couldn't help frowning, because of the group of people around him, it was not easy to accuse him in person.Yaqin blessed everyone, and stepped forward to hold Yonglian in his arms, his eyebrows were full of love.I saw Xiao Yonglian yawn a little, and after wrinkling his little face, he cried with a flat mouth.I thought that this child was a naturally quiet character, but the clinker's cry was so deafening.Hongli and his wife couldn't help frowning, but Yaqin smiled slightly, "Xiao Shizi should be hungry, the slave maid will take him down to feed the nurse." ”Hongli nodded, and then instructed everyone, "You all stand down." ”"Yes."
Only Tongyu was left in the room, Tongyu lay on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile, "Sister, if you are tired, rest, my brother-in-law and I will wait for you to fall asleep before leaving." ”I wanted to talk about my brother's title, but I didn't expect my brother to care about him so much, so he swallowed it back when it came to his mouth, just shook his head lightly and said, "Sister is not tired." ”"Then I'll talk to my sister."
Tongyu supported his cheeks with both hands, and said with admiration, "Sister, do you know that Brother Wei has won this year's new champion, just now I was on the way to the palace, and I saw the emperor's list, and the people were talking about it." ”Tongxin quietly glanced at Hongli, and then said with relief, "Brother Yunjin is only eight years old, and it is not surprising that he will be the champion." ”"Tongyu is so envious, I will also participate in the imperial examination in the future" Tongyu raised his little face excitedly, and his heart was full of countless hopes.Hongli stretched out his hand and stroked his head, and said to Tongxin, "Let's be with Yu Neng Wen Neng Wu, do you say it's better to be a literary champion or a martial champion" Tongxin shook his little hand, "As long as Tongyu is safe and sound, I don't care if I want these imaginary sisters or not." ”"Sister, Tongyu must be an official, and only by being an official can he protect his sister."
Tongyu stretched out his other hand to cover Tongxin's hand, and said with a serious face.Tongxin nodded slowly, and cast a gentle and delicate gaze on the man beside him, his younger brother can be so sensible today, he is indispensable.The three of them talked for a long time, and then Tongxin fell asleep deeply.Because of Yonglian's arrival, the entire palace was also happy, and some people even secretly speculated in their hearts that the emperor loved Xiao Shizi so much, he should have designated the fourth prince as the crown prince.On this day, the emperor was so happy that he unconsciously walked to the gate of Yanxi Palace, looking at the dark red palace gate, he didn't know how long he hadn't come to see Concubine Xi.I remember that in order to get the support of Ling Zhu of the Four Grades, she married the eldest daughter of Niu Hulu's family as the side Fujin, originally Concubine Xi had a calm temperament and was quite pleasing, but she was stubborn and had to go to any Buddhist temple to practice, if it wasn't for Ling Zhu's repeated pleas, he would never take her back to the palace.But Concubine Nian is gone, Concubine Qi is also abolished, and in the harem, he is even more disgusted with the queen, except for Concubine Yu, the only place he can go to is this Yanxi Palace.The emperor silently stepped into the palace, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.I saw a plain-clothed woman sitting quietly in the courtyard, carefully pruning this pine tree.This seems to go back to many years ago, when the young concubine had nothing to do, and she loved to play with these pines and cypresses in the yard.The emperor stood in place, dumbfounded, although the woman in front of him was not a young concubine, she was as fresh and refined as a young concubine who did not apply powder.A bright yellow suddenly appeared in front of Concubine Xi's eyes, prompting Concubine Xi to raise her head suddenly, and then met the emperor's deep eyes."
The emperor is auspicious" Concubine Xi hurriedly put down the scissors in her hand and squatted down slightly.The emperor grabbed her slender hand, helped her up by the way, and said softly, "It's all old husbands and wives, so there's no need to be polite." ”Concubine Xi lowered her eyes slightly, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and her cheeks were red because of her lover's words.The emperor stared at her embarrassed face, lost his mind for a while, was stunned for a moment, and asked softly, "When did you start to love fiddling with these pines and cypresses" Concubine Xi let go of the emperor's hand and said with a shallow smile, "It was Sifujin who said that she liked pines and cypresses, and the concubines had nothing to do to prune some and let people send them to the palace." ”"Oh," the emperor raised his eyebrows and said casually, "I didn't expect you to be so considerate to this daughter-in-law." ”Concubine Xi sighed slowly, "She gave birth to another son for Hongli, and the concubine should be better to her, and in Huan'er's matter, she also has a knot, and the concubine has always felt that we owe her." ”"I'm glad you can do that."
The emperor curled the corners of his lips slightly, and asked again, "Have you eaten?"
When did the emperor ask her so gently, Concubine Xi was a little confused, and she forgot to answer for a while.The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth became even worse, and he said in a low voice, "I haven't eaten yet. ”Concubine Xi suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly instructed Mama Su, "Hurry up and pass the meal." ”As soon as the words fell, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Does the emperor have any special concubines who want to eat today that he can make in the small kitchen." ”The Emperor patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Just follow your usual meal, I have nothing to be picky about." ”"How can this be done" Concubine Xi blurted out with some embarrassment, but the emperor seemed to be in a good mood and walked straight towards the side hall where the meal was served.After walking a few steps, he turned back to look at Concubine Xi, who was still stunned, "Accompany me to the house and wait." ”"Hey."
Concubine Xi hurriedly responded, and quickly followed the emperor's footsteps.The emperor had dinner in Yanxi Palace, and stayed in Concubine Xi's palace that night, and Concubine Xi, who had been neglected, suddenly became the topic of everyone's after-dinner conversation.Early the next morning, the emperor personally decreed that Concubine Jin Xi was Concubine Xi, and even Hongli, who had been punished in the mansion, was also ordered to enter the palace to participate in politics.These news are undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the queen who has lost her right-hand man.Concubine Xi, who she has always been the least optimistic about, has also become the emperor's favorite concubine, and her life in the harem will be even more difficult in the future.The clansmen of the Ulanala clan have also been reported or falsely accused again and again, and her power in the court is gradually being reduced, she can no longer sit still, and the future prince must be her person."
Ruizhi, you send someone to inform the person in the palace, it's time to do it."
The queen rubbed her eyebrows and commanded with a tired expression.Ruizhi bowed beside the queen, and she also knew the current situation, and only by fighting to the death could she never suffer in the future.As if with a great deal of determination, she nodded and stepped back.Prince Bao's Palace.After Hongli went to the court, there were only three people in the empty house: Tongxin mother and son and Xia He.Xia He teased Yonglian and complained, "Aunt Yaqin wants to take care of the little young master and doesn't come, but Sister Qing, she didn't see her early in the morning, so the slave maid took care of the little prince alone." ”"If you feel tired, go and rest, I can do it alone."
Embroidering the child's small clothes with one heart, casually."
Ah, Fujin, the slave doesn't mean that, I just don't want to see Sister Qing lazy."
Xia He pursed his lips and hurriedly explained.Tongxin looked at the child's big round eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, "Xia Qing may have something to do." ”"I really don't know what she's busy with all day, she always goes out early and returns late."
Xia He shook the rattle in his hand and muttered quietly.Speaking of Xia Qing, Tongxin's heart also had some doubts, Xia Qing has indeed gone out a little frequently these days, and he was thinking about it, when there was a sudden knock on the door in his ears."
Come in" Lu Jiuying gently pushed open the door and said with a smile on his face, "Fujin, the fourth master is back." ”Tongxin looked out the door, but the door was empty.I only heard Lu Jiuying say with some embarrassment, "The fourth master sent a servant to tell you, you won't be here today, the fourth master and the fourth master said that they will also stay at Xian Fujin tonight." ”aa2705221:
