"Ke Erchen..." Hongli just said a few words before he was interrupted by Ling Ruo: "It's useless, Hongli, even if you keep giving in, even if you give up your life, Hongshi won't like you.
.Because Hong Sheng is already dead, and Hong Shi...is not Hong Sheng."
Ling Ruo's words made Hongli's eyes dim suddenly. He really hoped to do what Huang Ama said, so when Hongsheng didn't like him in the past, he did his best to help Hongsheng.
Seeing Hongli's appearance, Ling Ruo stopped, put her arms around his shoulders distressedly, and said sincerely: "Hongli, you are already fifteen years old. In one year, you will have to open your teeth and build a mansion. No more
You are a child. You should understand that many things are not always satisfactory, so you just have to try your best."
"My son, I understand." Looking at Hongli's still somewhat immature face, Ling Ruo sighed silently, do you understand? No, Hongli is far from understanding the path he will take in the future.
Hongshi was the son of Nala, and he and Hongli were destined to have a fierce fight, not for anything else but for the supreme throne in the world.
This road is destined to be full of thorns, and every step will be bloody, but Hongli must go on and there will be no more concessions.
She would not naively think that by giving up the throne, Hongshi would not deal with Hongli. On the contrary, being instigated by the Nala family, he would definitely eradicate it and prevent Hongli from having any chance to threaten him.
Whether it is for himself or for Hongli, he must firmly seize the position of prince and not give in. As for now, the temporary concession is just to make Yinzhen feel that Hongli is more suitable.
In fact, Hongli is indeed the most suitable one.
Seeing that Hong Li was still a little unhappy, Ling Ruo patted him on the back and said, "Okay, don't think about this. Go back and rest while there is still some time. Later, I have to accompany your emperor to burn incense and salute."
, and then we have to celebrate the New Year, but we can’t be careless.”
Hongli nodded. After accompanying Ling Ruo back to Wanfang and resting for an hour, Yu Chou changed into auspicious clothes and followed Yinzhen Niuxiang to salute in front of the world. Although he was not in the Forbidden City, Yinzhen still followed the etiquette and went around.
They burned incense everywhere, and then they lit incense in the direction of the Forbidden City and saluted.
After completing this circle, it was already Mao hour. Then they went to the Moon Palace in Luoyun, and knelt down to the emperor and empress in order to wish them a happy new year. After the concubines, there were Hongli and others. Lingxi and his concubine Wei Yuan also came. Lingxi was married.
Over the years, the couple has been very loving and raised their children together.
Although Lingxi and the others have grown up, Yinzhen still gave them dragon-shaped lucky money made of colorful ropes and copper coins, and asked them to put them at the foot of their beds after they went home, for good luck.
After the congratulations here, Yinzhen had to receive congratulations from hundreds of officials. This ceremony was also held in the Old Summer Palace. The officials knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and then the emperor gave a banquet to share with the officials to show that the emperor and his ministers were enjoying themselves.
He was so busy until later that Yinzhen got some free time. Wan Fang and An Zai, who came to Lingruo with Sixi, helped Yinzhen sit down. Lingruo said: "Shuixiu, go make the cup of ginseng soup stewed in the kitchen."
Bring it."
Yinzhen leaned back and said casually: "How did you know that I was coming over and prepare ginseng soup early in the morning?"
"I don't have the ability to predict the future. It's just a guess. If the emperor really doesn't come, then I can only drink it myself. If the emperor is tired, just close your eyes and rest for a while." As she said this, she
Pour some sandalwood oil into your palms, rub it evenly, and then gently press Yinzhen's temples.
"I've been busy for a few days, and I'm really tired." Smelling the sandalwood on his fingertips, Yinzhen slowly closed his eyes, "By the way, have you decided on Bingxi's day?"
Ling Ruo said softly: "I estimate that the snow will almost stop tomorrow. If it takes too long and no new snow falls, I'm afraid the ice layer will become thinner, so I want to set it on the first lunar month."
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I wonder what the emperor’s wishes are?”
"Just go as you wish, as long as you give yourself enough time to prepare." At this point, Yinzhen changed the topic and said: "Last night, Hongli was very good. He knew how to be humble to his brother, and he also knew how to care about his brother.
Feeling."
Ling Ruo smiled and said, "I never dare to forget the emperor's teachings. Although Hongli was born in the Heavenly Family, I must never forget the importance of brotherhood."
"I'm very happy that you think like this. In comparison, the queen is a little stubborn. Hongshi is obviously at his wits end, but she still wants to remind him so that Hongshi can continue his drinking order." Although Yinzhen didn't say it, he still felt it in his heart.
It's always been clear.
Ling Ruo said gently: "The Queen just wants my second elder brother to behave better in front of the Emperor, so that I can understand her motherly heart."
He frowned slightly and said: "Having said that, it is a bit cheating after all. No wonder Hong Zhou is dissatisfied. I think the queen has been quite fair in dealing with things in the past. I don't want to meet Hong Shi and she has become biased."
"Concubine Xi." Yinzhen suddenly called out like this, and Ling Ruo hurriedly responded: "I am here, but why does the emperor feel uncomfortable with my concubine?"
"No, I just want to tell you to take good care of the harem for me. I only believe in you now." Yinzhen was really tired. After talking so much, he never opened his eyes.
Ling Ruo stopped what she was doing, leaned over and pressed her cheek against Yinzhen's face and said emotionally: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to handle the affairs of the harem and not worry the Emperor."
Yinzhen did not speak, but quietly felt the warmth and delicacy on his cheeks in the dancing candlelight, and his breath became long and even in such a quiet time.
When Ling Ruo slowly moved his face away, he didn't react at all and still sat quietly. At that time, Shui Xiu came in with ginseng soup. Before he could speak, he saw Ling Ruo making a silent gesture.
, said softly: "Put the ginseng soup aside and go get a blanket sent as tribute from France. The emperor is asleep."
Shui Xiu nodded, turned around lightly, and when she walked to the door, she thought of something and whispered: "Master, would you like me to ask Yang Hai to help the emperor lie down on the bed? It will definitely be uncomfortable to sleep sitting up like this.
"
Ling Ruo glanced at Yinzhen, who was still frowning in his sleep and said, "No need, I see that the emperor is not sleeping very peacefully. If he moves now, I'm afraid he will wake up, so hurry up and get the blanket."
Shuixiu no longer neglected, and took a blanket and covered it with Ling Ruo. Ling Ruo stayed with Yinzhen after signaling Shui Xiu to go down. He slept with her all night, and she stayed with him all night, never leaving.
.
If you never leave me, I will depend on you for life and death!
Under the same night, the atmosphere in Fanghu Scenic Spot was much more solemn. Nala was here, Hongshi was also there, the tea had been sitting there for a long time, and no one had touched it. It was scalding hot at the beginning and gradually turned cold.
