Yinzhen was forced to stop and turned around. His eyes were as dark and cold as night, "Fupei is very good in the Queen's Palace. The noble concubine does not need to worry about him. If the noble concubine really cares about Fupei, she should not see him again during this period."
." Nian's despairing voice fell from the top of his head, dissipating in the cold air with a few lingering sounds.
"Why? He is my concubine's child. Why can't I see him?" Nian's sharp voice cut through the silence in the room. She was like a wild cat that had lost its cubs, suffering day after day.
, making her unable to be calm, even on the surface. So, she questioned Yinzhen, the emperor who held the power of life and death in the world.
Yinzhen stared at her with deep eyes for a long time, then slowly withdrew the foot he had stepped out of. Sixi, who was waiting next to him, quickly closed the long carved door knowingly. When only he and Nian were left in the room, Yinzhen immediately
Said: "My four sons, Hongshi is mediocre in qualifications but values filial piety and affection, Hongli is smart and sensible, Hongzhou is well-behaved, and Fupei, what does Fupei have?" Nian opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when Yinzhen
His voice suddenly became louder, coming towards Nian's hood like a heavy rainstorm, "I know you want to say that Fupei is as smart as Hongli. Yes, Fupei is smart, but his character is surly and arrogant, and he doesn't care about his brothers at all.
They have a brotherly love, and they always target their two younger brothers, and they will look down upon them if they don't get their way. He is an elder brother, a prince, not a street boy, and not a bastard scoundrel!"
In fact, there were more things that Yinzhen didn't say, including the Hangzhou arsenal and Ling Ruo's pursuit. But just the tip of the iceberg almost made Nian suffocate. He looked at Yinzhen blankly and couldn't even defend himself.
Forgot, for a long time, there were two
Xingqing's tears fell from his cheeks, and the voice that escaped his lips trembled like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, "The emperor always said that I and Fupei were wrong in every possible way, but as for the emperor himself, how much care did he give to his concubine and Fupei? And he felt sorry for me.
How much? Concubine Xi committed such a big crime
Even if you make mistakes, you can forget about them, and even go out of the palace to bring her back, and love her very much. Now, if I just make some small mistakes, you will not let me go, and you will even cruelly separate my mother and her son. And Fupei,
The emperor has not yet given it to him
Although she had a formal name, she still uses her childhood name. Concubine Chen, like Concubine Xi, has been with the emperor for nearly twenty years, and she has also given birth to children for the emperor. But now the emperor only sees the pity of Concubine Xi's mother and son. Has he ever seen her?
See the pity of my concubine, mother and son?"
"Are you saying that I'm wrong?" Yinzhen's voice was cold, just like the cold wind whizzing by outside the house, so cold that even his breath would freeze.
"I don't dare." Even so, there was a trace of stubbornness in Nian's eyes. She was originally an extremely proud woman, how could she be willing to lag behind others in everything.
Yinzhen lowered his eyes and looked down, then suddenly raised his head again, staring at the gold-painted pattern on the beam and said solemnly: "Maybe I was really wrong, so... it's time to correct my mistake."
Nian was stunned. She obviously didn't expect that Yinzhen would suddenly and directly admit that she was wrong, and she didn't understand the meaning of his next sentence. When she wanted to ask again, Yinzhen had already opened the door and left, his figure very dark.
He soon disappeared into the darkness where the lights did not shine.
The New Year's Eve of the first year of Yongzheng passed by Nian in confusion. The only thing that comforted her was that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yinzhen issued an order to bless Peihong, named Hongsheng, and he would no longer be named Hongsheng.
Ru's name matches.
In the new year after New Year's Eve, Yinzhen accepted the worship of the ministers in the previous dynasty, and the concubines in the harem greeted the Queen Mother and the Empress in sequence; on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the daughters of Fujin, Gege, and first- and second-rank ministers from each mansion entered the palace to greet them;
From the third to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, there are five consecutive days of performances in Changyin Pavilion, including juggling and other entertainment.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Ling Ruo did not go to Changyin Pavilion, but looked forward to it in the palace. Today was the day when Yinzhen agreed to let her family enter the palace. When she thought of meeting Ama'er Niang, she was filled with unspeakable joy.
I was so excited that I lay in bed last night and didn't fall asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I accidentally broke an emerald chain.
"Master, it's still early. You should sit down and rest for a while. It's not good to stand like this and it's windy outside. It's not good if you get cold." Shuixiu advised from the side. The snow stopped the day before yesterday and the snow piled up in the courtyard.
The snow was slowly turning into slush under the winter sun. When the snow melted, it was much colder than when it was snowing. Shuixiu just stood like this for a while and felt that the fingers exposed outside her sleeves were numb from the cold.
"It's okay." Ling Ruo shook his head absentmindedly, and then said to him: "If you are cold, just go and stay inside. I don't need to serve you here for the time being."
"My slave is not cold." Shui Xiu was not willing to agree and waited outside with her. Seeing that Ling Ruo was not holding a hand warmer, she went into the house to get it. Shui Xiu remembered that the flat gold hand warmer her master used to use was placed in the back bedroom.
, as soon as I entered, I saw huanghuali on the small table beside the bed.
Because no charcoal was added, the hand warmer felt cold to the touch. Shuixiu took it and was about to add charcoal when she suddenly saw a figure flashing behind the rosewood openwork carved grape pattern inlaid silk screen. Strange, could it be?
Is it Shuiyue? Or is it Nanqiu? But what are they doing in the dormitory at this time?
"Who is there?" Shui Xiu called out tentatively. The figure behind the screen flashed again, but he never came out.
Shuixiu felt even more strange. There must be someone behind the screen, but she didn't know why she refused to show up. Could it be that there was a thief? It was just some bold slave in the palace who sneaked into Chengqian Palace to commit the crime.
Thinking of this, Shui Xiu's heart suddenly lifted. She tiptoed over carefully. This dormitory was originally covered with plush carpets from Persia. If she paid attention to her footsteps, even people close at hand would not be able to hear her.
There was no sound, let alone a screen.
When she walked to the screen, Shui Xiu quietly raised the flat gold hand stove in her hand, then suddenly quickened her pace, turned behind the screen, and threw the hand stove at the person who appeared in sight.
The man didn't expect that Shui Xiu would suddenly appear, and he was completely frightened. He stared blankly at the hand stove that was hitting him, unable to think of dodging at all.
Seeing that the stove was about to be hit on her head, Shui Xiu recognized the person hiding behind the screen. She exclaimed and tried hard to stop the movement of her hand. Such a rapid change made her wrist throb, but she finally managed to stop it.
He held it back before it hit him. Even so, the wind brought by the hand stove when it fell rapidly also ruffled the man's forehead.
"Why are you here?" Shui Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Mo'er, who was still standing there stupidly. The one who dared to hide behind the screen was none other than Mo'er, who was also serving in the palace.
"I, I saw it was a bit messy here, so I came in to clean it up." Mo'er looked a little flustered when he answered. Shui Xiu was confused for a while, and then thinking of the situation just now, he asked: "If that's the case, why did I call you just now?
Didn’t you agree?"
"I was just cleaning up, and I never heard you call me." Shuixiu's gaze made Mo'er feel as if needles were pricking his whole body. He ducked and lowered his head and said, "If there's nothing wrong, I'll go out first."
"Wait a minute!" When Mo'er was about to walk to the dormitory, Shui Xiu suddenly called her out, walked slowly behind her, and said in a cold voice: "You are waiting outside, when will it be your turn to come?"
To clean up here, who let you in, Shuiyue or Aunt Nanqiu?"
[Author's digression]: When I came back yesterday, my flight was late. It was almost three o'clock in the morning when I got home. I slept for four hours and then got up to go to work. My head was dizzy and it was really too much. Please bear with me for one more day. I will definitely have more tomorrow.
