Yang Hai glanced at Ling Ruo, and after the latter nodded, he said: "According to what I see, the Queen...has never regretted anything."
Hongli let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say. Ling Ruo said coldly: "Emperor, do you remember what Aijia said to you? If the queen has no regrets after a year, Aijia will continue to ban her.
Until you completely repent."
Hongli wanted to plead for Mingyu, but he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, I know that I will obey the emperor's wishes in everything."
Ling Ruo stared at Hongli who was looking down at the ground and said: "Emperor, Ai Jia understands your feelings, but you have to understand that if the concubine is not good, it will only cause trouble in the harem; if the queen is not virtuous, it will bring trouble to the world."
Hongli nodded solemnly, and after saluting Ling Ruo, he exited the Cining Palace. When he was at the palace gate, he accidentally saw Xiayue standing there, and said in surprise: "Concubine, haven't you returned to Yanxi Palace?"
Xianyue went up to greet him and said warmly: "I have seen Yifu Jin, and I probably guessed why the emperor was summoned by the emperor. I was worried that the emperor would have a dispute with the emperor, so I waited here." She said.
After taking a careful look at Hongli, he said, "The emperor's face doesn't look very good. Is there really a dispute?"
"No." Hongli said, "According to what the imperial concubine said, have you been standing here for nearly an hour?"
Xianyue looked at the sky and said, "It should be so, I don't know very well."
Hongli said distressedly: "Fortunately it's still spring and the sun isn't too strong. If it were midsummer, would you wait like this for an hour? What if you get heatstroke?"
Xianyue sensed his concern and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. If it were midsummer, I would definitely find a shady place to wait for the Emperor to come out."
"You!" Hongli shook his head and put Mingyu's matter in his heart. He took Xianyue's hand and said, "I can't spare any time to see you these days. Since I'm here now, I might as well accompany you."
Let me take a tour of the Imperial Garden. Sixi told me just the day before yesterday that there are several exotic flowers and trees planted in the garden, and they are in bloom now, and they are very beautiful."
Xianyue smiled sweetly and said: "The emperor has orders, how dare I disobey you? Not to mention the imperial garden, even if it is the end of the world, I should go with the emperor."
"Okay!" Hongli clasped the plain hand in his palm and walked to the Imperial Garden. Along the way, the two of them strolled among the long grass and the bright spring light, whispering to each other with affection.
When they got to the imperial garden, Xianyue said with emotion: "If I could walk like this with the emperor every day, I would be satisfied even if my life is shortened by a few years."
Hongli let go of his hand, stroked his chin and said awkwardly: "I originally thought about it, but after you said that, I decided to forget it. I don't want to shorten your life."
Xianyue chuckled and said, "Can I interpret the emperor's words as concern for me?"
Hongli was about to speak when he suddenly saw two butterflies flying over and flying around Xianyue. Under the spring light, the beauty was independent and the butterflies were flying. Such a beautiful scenery made people almost dare not look directly at it.
Hongli watched all this intently, not daring to say anything for fear of frightening away the two butterflies. After a long time, the butterflies flew away and disappeared into the flowers.
Hongli clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that the beauty of the imperial concubine is so beautiful that even butterflies are fascinated by it. No wonder I have been watching it for more than ten years and still haven't seen enough."
Xia Yue said with shame: "Your Majesty made fun of me. I think I applied too much perfume today, which made the butterflies mistake me for a flower. That's why I did this."
Hongli immediately shook his head and said: "No, the fragrance on your body is not strong at all. It is the same as usual, light and light. The butterflies must have come for you."
Si Xi said from the side: "I have seen some noble masters rub a lot of fragrant powder on their bodies, and people can smell the fragrance without seeing them, but I have never seen them attract any butterflies. Just like the slave, even if he rubs the whole box of fragrant powder on his body
, Butterfly will never look at a slave."
Xianyue laughed at what he said, "It's a pity that butterflies can't speak. Otherwise, you can ask why it has been around me for so long. But I have heard that there are women who are born with a unique fragrance that can attract butterflies.
Wherever she goes, butterflies follow her."
Hongli said in surprise: "Oh? Who is it that there is such a mysterious thing? I would like to see it."
"I just heard about it. I don't know if it's true or not, let alone who that person is." Xianyue's words made Hongli a little disappointed, but he didn't think much about it and continued to walk with her in the garden.
After the Fubi Pavilion, talking about Hongxi, Hongli said: "The emperor's mother only asked me not to harm the lives of Hongchen and others, and the rest will be at my disposal."
Xianyue said doubtfully: "If that's the case, why did the emperor's face look so unhappy when he came out just now? Is there anything else going on?"
Hongli didn't want to talk about Mingyu's matter, so he said: "The reason why I am like this is because I am worried about how to deal with Hongchen and the others. If it is too light, it will not serve as a warning; if it is too serious, it goes against my imitation of the emperor's grandfather and the implementation of the policy."
The meaning of benevolent government." He bent down and sat down, sighing: "It is really difficult to find a balance point from this."
Xianyue thought while saying: "These people are all closely related to the emperor, and it is really difficult to deal with them, especially Prince Ning. When his Ama was alive, he had the best relationship with the late emperor, and he assisted the late emperor after he ascended the throne.
, and helped him everywhere, and the late emperor treated him and his descendants favorably in every possible way, I really can’t think of a reason why Prince Ning would do this.”
Hongli snorted coldly and said: "I don't understand. Among all the brothers, except for a few, he has the highest title, but he helped Hongxi to harm me. I really don't know what he is thinking."
Xianyue sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you demote them and fine them a salary? It's a small punishment but a big warning. I believe that after this incident, no one will dare to do this again in the future."
Hongli shook his head and said: "For their crime, this is just this, and the punishment is too light. It is difficult to convince everyone not to tell them. I am afraid that these people will think that I can't do anything to them."
"But..." Xianyue was about to say more, but Hongli already raised his hand and said: "Okay, I will think about this matter slowly when I go back, and let's not mention it for now." After a pause, he said: "I suddenly
I really want to eat the lily and lotus seed soup you made by yourself."
Xianyue pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that, is he sending me to make Lily Lotus Seed Soup now?"
Hongli said with a smile: "Yes, I wonder if my noble concubine would be willing to cook for me and enjoy the spring water?"
"This is my concubine's good fortune. I will go back now. After everything is done, I will send it to the Emperor to nourish the heart."
"Okay." After Xianyue turned around and left, Hongli slowly suppressed his smile and said coldly: "Sixi, go to the Zongren Mansion and bring Hongchen to see me."
