Thinking like this, she walked over with Cuizhu, saluted Mrs. Hu, and said with a smile: "What were you talking to Concubine Shu just now? It seems to be very lively?"
Mrs. Hu's eyes flashed slightly, and she pretended to be casual and said: "It's nothing. Concubine Shu asked me when the emperor will return to the palace, but the eunuch who sent the message has not come yet, and I don't know."
Almost as soon as her words came out of her mouth, Xia Qing knew that she was lying. The Hu family clearly hated the Yehenala family. When Yongyi just died, she wanted to skin the Yehenala family alive. How could she?
Talking to her so calmly, there must be something going on, but Hu didn't say anything, and she didn't want to ask more, just thinking about it secretly in her heart.
At this moment, someone from the palace quickly ran over, got close, gave them a thousand blows, and said respectfully: "I would like to inform you, ladies and gentlemen, that the Emperor and the Queen are already ten miles away!"
"Got it!" Following Hu's words, the palace attendant stood up and left. After about the time it took to touch a stick of incense, the palace attendant came to report again. This time, he was less than five miles away from the Forbidden City.
After hearing the report, the concubines quickly ordered the palace servants to take out their small mirrors and adjust their appearance so as to present the most beautiful posture to Hongli.
As the Meridian Gate opened, the chariot appeared in the sight of the ladies, surrounded by guards and palace people. The ladies quickly knelt down towards the chariot and said in unison: "I respectfully welcome the emperor, and respectfully welcome the empress."
!”
After they finished speaking, Hongli stepped on the little eunuch's back and got out of the chariot. After signaling the chariot to go to Kunning Palace, he raised his hand and said: "Ping Shen!"
After Mrs. Hu straightened up, she took a step forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting the rain and relieving the sufferings of the people!" At this point, she glanced behind Hongli and asked doubtfully: "Why don't you see the Queen?
"
Hongli said with a smile: "While the queen was praying for rain, she moved her fetus and gave birth to a little brother. At this time, she was too weak to bear the wind, so I will not accept your courtesy!"
Mrs. Hu pretended to be surprised and said: "I see, I wonder if the queen's body is well, and my little brother, is everything okay?"
"No need to worry, noble concubine, mother and child are safe." After hearing this, Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile on her face: "Today is really an extra blessing. Not only is the rain falling from the sky, the emperor also got a little brother. The emperor is so happy.
Let’s have a good time celebrating.”
Yehenala smiled and stepped forward and said: "The imperial concubine is right, the emperor must not be stingy on such a happy event."
Hongli was in a very good mood and said with a smile: "Okay, when the full moon comes, I will definitely have a good time to celebrate!" After saying a few more words, he took Sixi and others to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
As soon as he left, the smiles on the faces of the girls suddenly fell, replaced by jealousy. In their opinion, each of them had a much better background than Xianyue, but Xianyue not only had Hongli's favor, but now
She even gave birth to a prince, which is really
He is uniquely blessed by nature; and, Hongli has always hoped that his legitimate son can inherit the throne. Although Xianyue is the successor, the child she gave birth to is still his legitimate son, so... Hongli is likely to pass the throne to this twelfth elder brother, so that
How could they not be jealous.
After Chen and others left, Xia Qing walked to Hu and said, "I want to go to Kunning Palace to visit the Queen. Can I go with you?"
Mrs. Hu glanced at Yehenala who had not yet left, and said: "Concubine Hui, please go first. I have some matters in the palace. I will visit the Queen later."
Xia Qing nodded, bowed and bowed, and left with the palace attendants. Hu and Yehenala were walking on the road together. At this time, the night was like a giant wing, covering the entire Forbidden City, leaving only the horizon.
A little glow.
Mrs. Hu carefully looked around and made sure that no one was around, then she said to Xiao Dezi who was following Yehenala: "What have you heard outside? Please tell me carefully."
Xiao Dezi glanced at Yehenala, and after the latter nodded, he recounted everything that happened outside the palace, which made Hu sneer, "It's really ridiculous, a person who keeps hurting others.
A person like this can actually have all the people kneeling down and admiring me, Concubine Shu, do you think I should laugh or cry?"
Yehenala raised her lips as full as rose petals and said with a smile: "There is no point in laughing, and there is no point in crying. We just need to recognize who is our enemy."
"The queen is, you..." Mrs. Hu turned her head and stared at Yehenala's eyes hidden in the night, and said coldly: "You too."
Yehenara leaned forward and said, "My queen is wrong. I never had any intention of being your enemy. Everything I did was to protect myself. It was just a mistake that made me..."
"That's enough!" Mrs. Hu interrupted her, took a few deep breaths, calmed down her agitated mood and said: "The emperor is not a stupid person. Presumably he has discovered that someone is secretly instigating this turmoil. If he is allowed to
It would be troublesome to find those people sent by your Ama and expose us."
Yehenara said confidently: "Don't worry, Madam, those people are all found from other places. They will be sent out of the capital early tomorrow morning. No matter how the emperor searches, he will not be able to find them."
Hu frowned and said: "The nine gates of the capital are heavily guarded, and after this incident, the emperor will definitely ask the nine gates to strengthen their guard. Are you really confident that you can send them out of the capital safely?"
Yehenara said with a smile: "When have I ever said big words to deceive the empress? Of course it is true." Seeing that Mrs. Hu was still suspicious, she lowered her voice and said: "To be honest with the empress, one of the city gate officials
He is my Amma's best friend. He was originally an official in the court, but he was demoted to the city gate official because he made a mistake."
"I see." Mrs. Hu nodded and warned: "Remember, we will send them away immediately early tomorrow morning. Don't delay. Also, we must stay far away, so that we can protect you and me.
Peace for both families."
"Don't worry, my concubine. I told Ama a long time ago that he knows how to do it." Saying this, Yehenala said in a serious voice: "However, the queen has escaped this matter. I want to deal with it again in the future.
She is in a difficult situation, does your Majesty have any good ideas?"
Mrs. Hu said coldly: "Don't worry so much. She has no suspicion about me now. There are plenty of opportunities to deal with her, but we have to wait for the right time. Being too impatient will only spoil the matter."
Yehenala said that because she wanted to test whether Mrs. Hu still had the heart to deal with Xianyue. When she heard what she said, she immediately felt relieved and lowered her eyes and said: "I understand that I obey all the orders of the empress; it's just that the empress has worked hard.
Now, I have to force myself to smile at the queen."
Hu's eyes were cold and authentic: "As long as I can avenge Yongyi, no matter what I am asked to do, I will insist on doing it." As she said that, she raised her head and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and murmured:
"Yongyi, wait, E Niang will definitely avenge you, for sure!"
