In addition to Yinzhen, Yunxiang, Yunli and others also came. Although he has been recovering during this period, Yunxiang's health is not getting better. He often coughs and occasionally coughs up blood.
Although Zhen was sad, he had no choice but to let Yunxiang rest more and not think too much, let alone pay attention to the affairs of the court.
Xu Rongyuan said that Yunxiang could not survive for a few years, but he always wanted to let Yunxiang live a little longer and not leave prematurely.
The family banquet officially started with Yinzhen's toast. Halfway through the family banquet, Hongshi raised his glass and walked up to Yinzhen and said sincerely: "I wish Emperor Amarong good health and endless blessings."
Yinzhen was in a very good mood today. Facing Hongshi's toast, he drank without saying anything. Then Hongshi toasted to Nala, but what Lingruo didn't expect was that after toasting Yinzhen and Nala,
Afterwards, he filled up the wine and came to him, saying, "Hongshi wishes Concubine Xi a long life, good fortune and good health."
"Second brother is too polite, but I don't dare to take it seriously." She looked at Hongshi carefully. Although Hongshi always had a smile on his face, there was a cold light that penetrated deep in his eyes from time to time.
Seeing that she had not touched the glass, Hongshi glanced at her and said with an undiminished smile: "The imperial concubine does not raise the glass, but what did Hongshi do wrong to make the imperial concubine unhappy?"
Ling Ruo picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Second Brother behaved appropriately, how could I be unhappy? I was too busy talking just now that I forgot to raise my glass." After that, he immediately drank the wine in the glass.
.
With Hongshi toasting in front, Hongli and Hongzhou naturally came up to toast one after another. What surprised everyone most was that Hongzhan, who was less than three years old, actually came over with a small wine glass after seeing his brothers toasting.
, but the content in his cup was not wine, but juice ground from apples, which Ling Ruo specially ordered to prepare for his and Jiarou's two children.
Yinzhen was very fond of Hongzhan's cuteness and cuteness. He hugged Hongzhan and fed him a few bites of vegetables. Nala stroked Hongzhan gently and said, "Brother Six is getting more and more cute and cute.
My concubine also liked it very much after seeing it."
"It's all because of Concubine Jin's good teaching." Yinzhen's casual words made Liu's face turn pale. Nala saw it in her eyes and smiled calmly: "Your Majesty is right, Concubine Jin."
It’s really rare for Sixth Brother to treat him as his own son. But..."
Yinzhen took a chopstick of bamboo shoots and put it into Hongzhan's bowl, and said nonchalantly: "What?"
"But there are some things that Concubine Jin can never give to Brother Six." Nala's words finally made Yinzhen raise his head, "Huh? How do you say this?"
Nala sighed and said: "I dare not hide it from the emperor. Before the emperor came, I saw Liu Yaosheng hugging his sixth brother and crying. The scene was really sad for those who saw it and shed tears for those who heard it. After all, Liu Yaosheng
They are both the biological mothers of Brother Six, and no one can replace that flesh and blood relationship."
Hearing this, Ling Ruo couldn't understand why Na Lashi clearly wanted to plead for Mrs. Liu so that Hongzhan could return to Mrs. Liu's knees. How could she sit idly by and ignore this matter? She immediately said: "That being said
, but the Empress also knows what Liu promised to do in the past. Even if she regrets it now, it does not mean that the past can be erased and treated as nothing happened. And in the past, the emperor gave the sixth brother to Concubine Jin to raise him.
When I was young, I once said that Concubine Jin will be Brother Six’s mother-in-law from now on.”
"Although Liu promised to do something wrong, she has confessed in front of me more than once. I believe that she is truly repentant. As the saying goes, forgive others when you have to forgive them. Why should Concubine Xi always hold on to her mistakes and refuse to let them go?
Woolen cloth!"
As soon as Nala finished speaking, Mrs. Liu leaned on her chair and knelt down and sobbed: "Your Majesty, I have been regretting every moment in the past six months. I know that I was wrong. If I really know that I was wrong, then
You can do it again, I will never do the same thing again, please trust me again."
At the same time, Hongzhan, who was sitting in Yinzhen's arms, couldn't help crying "Wow" anymore, "Huang Ama, I really miss my mother-in-law and want to see my mother-in-law."
When he cried, Mrs. Liu cried even harder, kowtowing her head and begging Yinzhen to forgive her for her previous crimes.
Yinzhen watched this scene coldly, and after a long time he looked at Hongzhan in his arms and said, "Isn't Concubine Jin treating you badly?"
Hongzhan raised his tearful eyes and looked at Guarjia. The latter's eyes were reddish and her expression was extremely complicated. Hongzhan didn't know the meaning of those expressions, but he just said truthfully: "My aunt treats me very well, but my son is very kind."
I still wonder if E Niang and Emperor Ama can let me return to E Niang."
Guarjia clenched her hands tightly. She wanted to stop all this, but she didn't know how to speak. Instead, Ling Ruo on the side said: "Your Majesty, today is a family banquet. The whole family should be together happily.
We were having dinner together, but Liu promised to mention it at this time. I really don’t know what Liu promised to do?"
Mrs. Liu raised her red forehead and cried: "When I say this to the imperial concubine, I don't have any intention. I just want to be able to see my sixth brother all the time and stay with him all the time, not in the harem."
But mother and son are separated and cannot be seen together."
Nala also helped by saying: "Your Majesty, no one is a sage, and no one can make mistakes. As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, it is a great good. If you give Liu a chance, why don't you give Sixth Brother a chance? Please excuse me, concubine."
To be honest, no matter how well Concubine Jin takes care of her, she cannot be compared to her biological mother."
Ling Ruo lowered his eyes and said: "My queen is naturally merciful, but we don't know whether Mrs. Liu has really regretted it. If she just said she regretted it, then rashly sending Brother Liu back, wouldn't it be harming Brother Liu?"
elder brother."
"No, empress, I am sincere, I am..." Before Liu could finish her words, Ling Ruo had already said: "If you are truly repentant, you should understand that it is best for Sixth Brother to follow Concubine Jin.
Yes, and Concubine Jin will never treat Sixth Brother badly."
"I understand..." This time, Ling Ruo still didn't give her a chance to continue, "Furthermore, you are a promise person now, and you are not qualified to raise my brother. Even the emperor and I believe that you are really
Even if you regret it, you still can't raise your sixth brother. This is a rule set by our ancestors and no one can change it."
These words made Ms. Liu look pale, but she did not give up and still looked at Yinzhen intently. After all, he was the one who could really decide everything.
Since just now, Yinzhen has not spoken. It was only after all the voices except Hongzhan died down that he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Hongzhan's face, "You are my son, a man, you can bleed,
