After Huang's half-nudging, Xia Qing followed her out. After they left, Xianyue said: "Xia Guiren has always spoken outright. If you say anything, Concubine Yu, please don't take offense."
Concubine Yu took a deep breath and said: "I understand that I was angry just now, so I spoke more harshly. I don't really want to blame her." After saying this, she forced a smile and said: "It's my concubine.
When did you become so close to Guiren Xia? She was considered to have betrayed the empress."
Xianyue sighed softly and said: "I was indeed very angry at the time, but things have already happened, so there is no use in blaming them. I and her can be regarded as masters and servants, and some things will be over in the past."
.”
Concubine Yu lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty is so tolerant and kind, which makes me admire her greatly."
"Don't be too sad about the matter between Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi. Since the Emperor knows about it, he will definitely get to the bottom of it and won't let the perpetrators go unpunished." After Concubine Yu nodded, Xiayue said again: "
Also...does Concubine Yu know a child named Baofu?"
Concubine Yu's hand holding the handkerchief tightened suddenly, and she suppressed the horror in her heart and said, "Baofu? Who is this? Is there such a person in the palace?"
Xianyue said meaningfully: "Baofu is not from the palace, but as far as I know, Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi adopted him seven years ago, and often go out to visit him. They love him so much that they treat him as their own flesh and blood."
, doesn’t Concubine Yu know anything about this?”
Concubine Yu secretly gritted her teeth and said, "I really don't know anything about it. I wonder where did your Majesty hear it?"
Xianyue smiled slightly and said: "I don't know where I heard Concubine Yu from. I just want to tell Concubine Yu that Baofu is very good. Not only today, but also in the future."
Her words made Concubine Yu feel a sense of foreboding. As early as when Dong Mei was ordered to be executed, she had compiled a book and sent it to her brother Tuhe, but she has not received a reply yet. What she is most worried about is Baofu, who is still alive.
It seems that she has found Baofu first and protected him, which is a great disadvantage to her.
Damn Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi, they were the ones responsible for all this. If Baofu hadn't been left alive, why would they have caused so many troubles?
"What's wrong? Concubine Yu doesn't seem very happy. Otherwise, why haven't you said anything?" Xianyue's words pulled Concubine Yu out of her thoughts and said quickly: "How could it be? I'm just a concubine.
I'm too surprised, so I don't know what to say." After that, she said tentatively: "I wonder where Baofu is now, I might as well send someone to visit him."
"I heard that Prince He picked him up. If Concubine Yu wants to visit, she has to go to Prince He's Mansion." This is undoubtedly what Concubine Yu doesn't want to hear. She can send him to other places.
The person was silenced, and the Prince's Mansion... I'm afraid that the guards of the Prince's Mansion would have discovered him before he was found.
Xianyue glanced at her lightly and said: "Many people don't believe in the natural cycle and karma. They always feel that they can control everything. But they don't know that it's not that there is no help, but that the time has not come. Once the time comes, no one can even think about it.
Escape."
Concubine Yu knew that she was talking about herself, so she said calmly: "Really? When did the empress believe in karma so much?"
"There are some things that I can't help but believe in. Concubine Yu... it's best to believe them." Facing Xianyue's words, Concubine Yu said, "I always believe in myself, not those illusory things."
"Ethereal and misty..." Xianyue smiled and said, "Maybe."
After a moment of silence, Concubine Yu looked outside and said, "Hey, where did Concubine Yi and Guiren Xia go? There's no one there."
Xianyue said calmly: "I thought it was because I saw Concubine Yi that the scenery here was unique, so I took a walk around. I should be back soon. Concubine Yu doesn't have to worry."
Concubine Yu's eyes moved slightly and said: "The weather is still cold now, and Xia Guiren is pregnant with a dragon fetus. It is easy to catch the cold if you stay for a long time. It is better to go and find them. I asked the small kitchen to prepare more dishes. Your Majesty, please and
How about Concubine Yi having a meal at my concubine's place?"
Xianyue thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Speaking of which, I have never dined at Concubine Yu's place. In that case, let me disturb you. It just so happens that I haven't seen the fifth elder brother for a long time."
Concubine Yu lowered her eyes and said, "In that case, I will have someone call Yongqi over."
After a while, Huang and Xia Qing entered under the guidance of the palace servants, and then they kept saying unintended words, and this continued until Yong Qi came in.
The seven-year-old Yong Qi saluted like a little adult, "Yong Qi, please see the imperial concubine; please see the concubine Yi; please see the noble concubine Xia."
"No gift for the fifth elder brother." Xianyue waved to Yongqi to come closer. After looking at it carefully, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "So fast, the fifth elder brother is seven years old in a blink of an eye. I still remember that the fifth elder brother just
She was chubby when she was born."
Huang took over and said: "I also remember that Concubine Yu almost lost her life to give birth to her fifth brother. Fortunately, mother and son were safe in the end. It is not easy to think about it. However, although her life was saved, Concubine Yu... alas!"
Although she was sighing, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and there was a faint smile in her eyes. It was not just her, but Xia Qing was also the same.
Concubine Yu knew that they were taking the opportunity to laugh at her for being revoked by Hongli and becoming a concubine in name only. What she hated most in her life was for people to mention this matter. However, Mrs. Huang deliberately mentioned it and even took the opportunity to make fun of her. It was true.
Extremely hateful.
Hate returned to hate, but this was not the time for the attack. She took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said: "This matter has passed, I am fine now."
When Mrs. Huang saw how she was holding her breath and unable to have an attack, she was very happy and said: "That being said, every time I think about what you have suffered, I feel that it is really not easy for you, Concubine Yu. It would be better for me to replace you."
Palace, I’m afraid I can’t stand it for a long time.”
Concubine Yu clenched her hands tightly, her face turned blue and white. Among the people, the only one who didn't understand was Yong Qi. He asked doubtfully: "Concubine Yi, what are you talking about? What's wrong with E Niang?"
Xianyue stroked his small shoulder and said softly: "It's nothing, I just want to say that because of you, your mother-in-law has suffered a lot. In addition, you have been in poor health since childhood, and your mother-in-law has worked even harder. You will definitely do it in the future."
I have to honor your mother-in-law well, you know?"
"Yongqi knows that when Yongqi grows up, he will definitely respect his mother." Listening to Yongqi's sweet answer, Xianyue patted his cheek and said, "I often hear the emperor praise you for your academic progress and your extraordinary intelligence.
