Xianyue nodded and said, "It's good if you can understand. There are countless people in the world who are innocent and more beautiful than Wei Xiuyan. If you like someone in the future, you can talk to the emperor."
Yong Rong said in a low mood: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother. If there are no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
"Step back." After hearing Xianyue's words, Yong Rong turned around and left Kunning Palace. He abided by his words and did not report to Hongli about Wei Xiuyan's matter again.
Speaking of Wei Xiuyan, after hearing Yong Rong's words, she felt at ease and felt that with his advice, she would be able to stay in the palace for a few more days. The two days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was the last day agreed until noon.
After the meal, no one came from Yangxin Hall. She became more and more relieved and said to Wei Jingxuan, who was half lying on the bed: "Sister, how long do you think the emperor will allow me to stay?"
Wei Jingxuan drank the last sip of the medicine and said: "I am not the emperor, how can I know, but you can persuade the sixth elder brother to give you advice, which really surprises me; the sixth elder brother has never had any opinions, don't say
It’s just a request, and I don’t even dare to speak loudly in front of the emperor.”
Qiaoyu chuckled at the side and said: "A few days ago, the master was in labor, and when the sixth elder brother came with the emperor to visit the master, the servant noticed that the sixth elder brother always secretly looked at the second young lady. This time, he gave advice to the emperor for the second young lady.
According to slave girl, Sixth Brother must have fallen in love with Second Young Lady."
Wei Jingxuan smiled slightly and said: "Xiuyan is so young and beautiful. It would not be surprising even if the sixth elder brother is really attracted to her, but the emperor..." She suppressed her smile and said: "I can see that the emperor has feelings for Xiuyan.
I am tempted, but it is only because of Xiuyan’s previous incident and the empress and others’ obstruction that I have not accepted Xiuyan into the palace. Alas, this palace has oversimplified the matter.”
Hearing this, Wei Xiuyan suddenly became anxious and said: "Sister, according to what you said, isn't it impossible for me to enter the palace?"
"Although the matter is a bit tricky, it is not necessarily a desperate situation. Let's take it one step at a time." As soon as she finished speaking, a palace official came in and bowed and said: "Master, the fifth manager is here."
Wei Jingxuan's heart skipped a beat and she said, "Invite him in."
Not long after, Xiao Wu walked in with the palace servants, lowered his eyes and said: "I would like to pay my respects to the concubine, and to the second young lady."
Wei Jingxuan raised her hand and said: "Without courtesy, my father-in-law is here, but is it because of the emperor's order?"
"Exactly." Xiao Wu raised his head and said, "The second lady has spent ten days in the palace praying for blessings. She was supposed to leave the palace early today. The emperor thought that it was not easy for the queen and sisters to get together, so he authorized the second lady to have lunch before leaving. Now at noon
It’s already passed, and I’ve been ordered to send the second young lady off to the palace.”
Wei Xiuyan originally thought that he was here to deliver a message to her to stay for a few more days, but she didn't expect that he was urging her to leave. Didn't the sixth elder brother say that he would report to the emperor on her behalf? Why didn't he even give him a day's grace? Was it because the emperor didn't allow it?
, or did Sixth Brother not make a statement at all?
Leaving the palace... She has waited for so many years and done so many things. Did she just stay in the Forbidden City for ten days and then give up? No, she is not willing to let all her expectations for so many years go by. She must ask clearly. Thinking of this
She said hurriedly: "Fifth Eunuch, I want to see..."
As soon as she said a few words, she was interrupted by Wei Jingxuan, "I'd like to trouble my fifth eunuch to make a special trip. I have a few words to tell Xiuyan. Could you please ask your fifth eunuch to wait outside for a while?"
Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "Please hurry up and don't embarrass this slave."
"I understand." After saying that, Wei Jingxuan said to Mao Gui: "Go and get ten taels of silver to give your father-in-law tea."
After Xiao Wu thanked him and retreated outside the palace, Wei Xiuyan couldn't wait to say: "Sister, I don't want to leave the palace, I want to see the emperor."
Wei Jingxuan said with a cold face: "Don't say that you can see the emperor if you want to, so what if you do see him? What can you say, whether to ask him why he kicked you out of the palace, or to ask him about the sixth elder brother?"
Seeing that Wei Jingxuan's tone was wrong, Wei Xiuyan asked doubtfully: "Can't I ask?"
"He is the Ninth Five Supreme Being, the supreme emperor. How can you ask such a question? Once you really say these words in front of the emperor, not to mention that there will be no hope in the future, even your life will be difficult to save; as for the sixth elder brother,
If you want the emperor to punish you for one more crime of secretly befriending my elder brother, you can go ahead and tell me."
Wei Xiuyan's heart trembled at what she said, and she said in a panic: "Then... what should I do? Do you really want me to leave the palace right now? Then wouldn't everything we have done before be in vain?" Seeing her speechless,
She hurriedly took Wei Jingxuan's hand and said, "I don't want this. Sister, please help me find a way."
Wei Jingxuan said angrily: "How can I be willing to do this, but the emperor has made up his mind, and I have nothing to do." After thinking for a moment, he continued: "The only way to go now is for you to leave the palace according to the decree, and then make plans.
"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiuyan suddenly became anxious and said: "Sister..."
Wei Jingxuan interrupted her, "I know what you want to say, but asking to see the emperor rashly now will only make the emperor unhappy, which will be detrimental to the future. I have been with the emperor for so many years, and I know the emperor's temperament very well.
Although he is usually gentle and generous, he is always the emperor and always speaks the truth."
Wei Xiuyan said with a reluctant look on her face: "But if I leave, I may not be able to enter the palace in the future, and I won't be able to see my sister. I'm really reluctant to let go."
Wei Jingxuan shook her hand and said: "I understand, don't worry, with me here, I will definitely find another opportunity for you to enter the palace, and I will definitely not let you waste these years of youth."
Although Wei Xiuyan was still unwilling, she could also see that the current situation was no longer up to her or Wei Jingxuan, so she could only say helplessly: "Okay, I will listen to my sister." At this point, she remembered something.
, with a strange look on his face: "Sister, is the Queen Mother also surnamed Aixinjueluo?"
Wei Jingxuan said doubtfully: "Of course not, why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"Last night I went to the Yangxin Hall to pray for blessings as usual. When I was lighting incense, I accidentally knocked off the paper placed in front of the incense table. When I picked it up, I saw the first character emerging from the gap in the origami paper.
When the word 'love' was first mentioned, Mao Gui once guessed that the emperor was praying for the Queen Mother. However, among the Manchu surnames starting with the word 'love', I only thought of 'Aixinjueluo', which is reasonable.
Said, the Queen Mother should not have this surname."
Wei Jingxuan frowned and said, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
Wei Xiuyan said with certainty: "Although the fifth manager quickly snatched the note away, I definitely didn't read it wrong. It was indeed the word 'love'."
