Chapter 2378 Seven Volumes 79-80 Little Jiujiuer
"Sister, do you still count on the queen?" Yu Rui was even more worried, "What can the queen find out? Besides, the eighth elder brother had his uncle Jin Jian to help with the investigation, but it turned out that the eighth elder brother's own friend Mingyi was found go……"

Yu Rui raised her eyes and glanced at Wanxi, "The imperial concubine Shujia's family is a family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and several generations of the family have been officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ama of the imperial concubine Shujia was once the Secretary of the Shangsi Academy and the Secretary of the Armed Forces Academy; Shu Changming is the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prince and the Taibao."

"It's the brother of the imperial concubine Shujia, the uncle of the eighth elder brother. Even though his official position is not high at this time, he is only a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the title of foreign minister, but he is also an official in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... With their help, eighth brother Brother still finds himself in a dead end, so what else can the queen find out?"

Wanxi also nodded, "You're right. If the Jin family helped Yongxuan and didn't find out, then we don't have to expect the empress to clear up the grievances of Guo Guiren."

"Then sister still...?" Yu Rui gripped Wanxi's arm worriedly, "If the empress checks again and again and finds Mingyi again, what should I do? The eighth elder brother wants to protect Mingyi. And if we give up the investigation for now, wouldn't this effort be in vain?"

"Don't worry, the Empress may not dare to clarify Yi publicly, let alone do anything to Mingyi." Wanxi patted Yurui's hand, "Why did you forget that Mingyi is the nephew of Empress Xiaoxian, and also The son of Second Master Fu. If the empress is holding on to Mingyi, then does it mean that Empress Chengji wants to dig up Empress Yuan's grave?"

"Besides, Erye Fu has made great contributions to the country. When he died for the country, Mingyi was still young. The emperor remembered the meritorious service of Erye Fu, so he rewarded Mingyi, who was young at that time, with peacock feathers... like this The son of a hero has finally grown up, so is it possible that the empress is still holding on to her? Then how can she become the mother of the Qing Dynasty if she still has a bit of motherly love?"

Yu Rui was finally overjoyed, "Why did I forget this! Then that's all right, at least we don't have to worry about innocent being implicated for the time being."

Wanxi looked down at the ground.The carpet patterns favored by the Mongolian grasslands are all complicated and dazzling, and there are many auspicious patterns of Buddhism, such as twig lotus and treasure-faced flowers, which stretch endlessly in the field of vision, making people feel that Buddhism is boundless.

"But she is the queen, and I am provoking her, so she must find out a result and explain it to everyone and me... Even what she finds out may not be the correct result, but there must be a result. "Wanxi turned her wonderful eyes, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, "Then guess what result she can use to prevaricate me?"
.
Yu Rui was also stunned, "...what does sister mean?"

Wanxi put away her smile, and also sighed faintly, "There are many things in the harem, and you can't hide from them. 'Safe and safe' is actually a luxury for the harem."

"Thus, for the women in the harem, especially those who have been in the deep palace for a long time, they are no longer afraid of things, but need that things to be used by her and bring her benefits."

Yu Rui narrowed her eyes slightly, "Sister, what you mean is that since the Empress can't hold on to Mingyi, she will change the direction of the investigation and turn this matter into her own use, which can bring her benefits. benefit?"

Wanxi lowered her head and smiled calmly, "You have forgotten, who is the empress who regards this matter as a serious worry and the biggest obstacle to Yongzheng?"

"It's Fifth Brother!" Yu Rui clapped her hands, "And Guo Guiren is the nobleman of Zhongcui Palace who lives with Concubine Yu. Although Concubine Yu did not come with her, but the Queen can use it to check and balance Concubine Yu's method, she will definitely not give up on anything!"

Wanxi's eyes lighted faintly, "That's right. Therefore, she will turn in another direction and head towards Concubine Yu after she investigates. No matter what she can find out, even if she can't give Guo Guiren and Qingzao justice for the time being, It's not useless after all."

Yu Rui also sighed softly, "Thinking about the past few years in the harem, the queen empress and concubine Yu are the best at arranging things when they are not in the palace when they are on tour. Now But because of the incident in front of me, if the two of them are confronted with each other, maybe it will really bring us some surprises~"
.
In the evening of that day, the emperor and all the Mongolian tribes went to visit the princes and came back from the siege. Putting aside the matter of giving the banquet for the time being, he ran back to see Wanxi.

Wanxi looked at the sweaty appearance of the emperor in a hunting suit, so she quickly took off her handkerchief, wiped the emperor's sweat, and said with a smile, "My lord, why bother? This year is the Empress Dowager's seventh birthday." Ten full lives, this is the most important birthday; with the empress dowager's full life ahead, the servants' thousand years, it doesn't matter."

"In order to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday, my lord even exempted the death row prisoners from this year's fall, and asked them to live for another year... Then this year's Qianqiu really doesn't matter."

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "How can this be compared? It's okay to say that the emperor's mother's [-]th life is okay, so what's the deal?"

Wanxi stuck out her tongue quickly, "The slave made a slip of the tongue... It was also caused by Guo Guiren's sudden death, so my mind was confused for a while, and I got confused."

The emperor spat softly, but still took Wanxi's hand gracefully, stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of her nose.

"Don't you understand your intentions? You, I want to remind you, don't forget Guo Guiren's youth and die just because this year is the [-]th birthday of Huang Erniang. .”

"Also, you specifically mentioned those death-row prisoners who were supposed to be executed. You also wanted to tell me that before the Queen's mother's birthday this year, even the death-row prisoners will be temporarily exempted from execution; the rest of the prisons will be pardoned But you hope that the Lord can't save the lives of those who killed Guo Guiren because of this year's amnesty, let alone ignore Guo Guiren's death because of the amnesty. Stop asking."

Wanxi sighed with shame and satisfaction in her heart, and leaned softly into the emperor's arms, gently fiddled with the buttons on the emperor's robe with the tip of her fingernails.

"The slave knows that he is narrow-minded. Although the emperor hasn't personally asked about this matter these days, and Guo Guiren passed away and didn't come in person... But it doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't care about it."

"Your Majesty, after all, this meeting is in Mulan. What is more important every day is to surround and give banquets with the princes and princes of the Mongolian and Hui tribes, thinking of being close. I just don't want to emphasize too much at this meeting. Guo Guiren's death, so as not to let the Mongolian ministries know the inside story, but instead affect their feelings towards the court."

The emperor also sighed softly, and grabbed Wanxi's hand, "The only thing I can let the Mongolian tribes know about this moment is that Guo Guiren died of an 'acute illness'; but I can't let them know, maybe someone It was designed to harm Guo Guiren."

Wanxi nodded, "I understand. Although Guo Guiren is only a nobleman, her father is a Taiji of Guoerluosi Banner. In terms of her father's status, the Mongol throne in the entire harem does not exceed She went. At this time, the emperor is walking around with the princes of various Mongolian tribes, if there is any news from the outside, it is inevitable that something unexpected will happen."

The emperor nodded, "Mongol tribes are tough by nature, Mongolian iron cavalry once swept the world... In order to win the hearts of Mongolian tribes, how many princesses and princesses have we married in the past few years; They are all from Mongolia."

"I don't dare to let all the painstaking efforts of more than a hundred years go to waste just because of one person or one thing."

The emperor raised his eyes and stared at Wanxi, "It's not that I don't check, it's not that I don't care about it. It's just that I can't check it out in the open at this time and on such an occasion."

"Besides, this year is the [-]th birthday of the Queen's Lady. Jiu'er, seventy is rare in life. The whole life of the Queen's Lady is really precious, and I don't want to add it to the joy because of this incident." If you are not happy, go. Therefore, on the surface, the master can only suppress this matter for the time being, and keep the matter from the empress's mother."

Wanxi nodded and rested her head in the emperor's arms, "I can only say that those who calculated this matter deliberately rushed to this time of this year, on the border of Mulan. They just saw the timing and made it right Live in the master's care, and take into account the overall situation of harmony."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared quietly at Wanxi, "But I heard that the queen is already investigating? I really wonder why the queen is so 'one heart and one mind' with the master this time, when the master is temporarily inseparable Son, did she take the initiative to share my worries with you?"

Wanxi's face became hot, and she quickly avoided the emperor's gaze, shrugged her shoulders, and spread her hands, "Maybe... it's because the empress is getting older, and now I can be more concentric with the emperor."

The emperor would not ignore Wanxi's narrow-mindedness, she specially used the word "empress concentric", and avoided the word "husband and wife concentric".

The emperor became happy because of this, and couldn't help stretching out his hand a little harder, and tapped on the tip of Wanxi's nose.

"...Give you a 'sucrose'!"

Wanxi was unprepared, her nose became sore immediately, she quickly raised her hands to cover her nose, and called angrily, "Master!"

Only then did the emperor imitate Wanxi's appearance, shrugging his shoulders, and smiling with open arms, "...my lord didn't try too hard."

Wanxi was helpless, she raised her eyes and wanted to stare at the emperor, but the two of them couldn't help but look at each other and smile after all.

The emperor snorted softly, hugged Wanxi into his arms, took advantage of his height, put his chin on the top of Wanxi's head, and gently shook his arms, "I admit it first: I just made it on purpose." After working hard, I will give you a 'sour jujube'. You love sour when you sleep~~"

The emperor's arms were kind and warm, and Wanxi couldn't help but relax physically and mentally, and closed her eyes comfortably.

"Then... the servant has no choice but to admit that it was the servant who used the method of provoking the empress to investigate. The servant thought, after all, Guo Guiren is the daughter of Mongolian Taiji. It is really not good for the emperor to conduct a drastic investigation; It is more convenient for the empress to search within the confines of the harem."

"Hmph," the emperor also snorted, "If that's the case, let the queen investigate. After all, she is the queen, and Guo Guiren is a concubine, so the queen should be responsible for investigating this matter."

"Besides," the emperor raised his eyes to look at Wanxi carefully, with a hint of embarrassment, "Besides, since you are the first to attack the general, then you must already have your little girl in your heart. Since you have your reasons, then Mr. Even if you don’t have to ask why, you can still believe it in your heart.”

Wanxi sighed softly in her heart, "But this little Jiujiuer in my slave's heart is not selfish~~ Master, don't want to ask clearly first?"

The emperor snorted, and lightly squeezed Wanxi's hand, "Even though you have your own considerations, the Lord knows you better. Those considerations of yours will not be to frame someone for no reason; your idea Be careful, you must be trying to tell someone to do it for themselves."

Warmth welled up in Wanxi's heart, she stretched her arms around the emperor's waist tightly, and pressed her cheek against the emperor's belly.Originally it was intimacy and dependence, but then I couldn't help laughing.

The soft and greasy laughter from the stomach was like the sound from the emperor's own stomach. The emperor patted Wanxi on the back of the head helplessly, and asked with gritted teeth, "What are you laughing about? Master." How can you be so happy?"

After Wanxi smiled, she still couldn't help holding back a sigh, and then put her cheek against the emperor's belly, turned her head and raised her eyes, "Master's belly...is round. It's so soft to sleep on like this." Ah~"

The emperor's face was red, he raised his head high and embarrassed to meet Wanxi's gaze, but he stretched out his hand again to pinch Wanxi's face, "... I am old, and my stomach has been running around for days, but I can't take it back. You can Dislike Grandpa?"

Wanxi shook her head vigorously, but couldn't speak, she just grabbed the emperor's hand and pressed it against her own belly.

After a long while, he said with bright eyes, "Master, is he old? It's as if the servant is still young! The servant, he is almost forty."

"What's more, women are not as durable as men. In fact, slaves are getting old too; there is now such flesh on the stomach of slaves."

The emperor rubbed his palms slowly, but murmured distressedly, "Silly girl... In the past few years, our children have been born one by one. How has your stomach ever been idle? For the sake of the children, your belly bulged and then flattened." Not long after it was flattened, it swelled up again... What kind of skin can still not relax?"

"It's a blessing to be as graceful and graceful as you are at this time." The emperor said while deliberately pinching her stomach, "Besides, the Lord has said it long ago, I like it." You are a bit fatter. You have such a little meat, and it is too late for you to be rare, so how can you dislike it?"

Who in this world doesn't love to hear nice words?It's just that Wanxi doesn't like those castles in the sky. If it's just talking about hype, it's strange for her to be rare.But it's the emperor who is both sweet-tongued and heart-warming, which makes Wanxi's bones really crumble.

Wanxi's heart was beating endlessly, and her body was already limp in the emperor's arms.She reached out and took the initiative to pull the yellow belt around the emperor's waist.

At dusk at this moment, the setting sun was like gold, and the thin beads of sweat on the emperor's body after hunting were also golden.

When the emperor came back from hunting, he got into Wanxi's tent, no matter Yurui or Gao Yuncong, they all had winks.This was Gao Yuncong who hurriedly prepared the emperor's replacement uniform, handed it to Yu Rui, and prepared it outside the felt tent.

After the commotion inside calmed down, the emperor ordered to get up, and Yu Rui came in with the common clothes and helped the emperor put them on.

After the emperor was dressed, he came over and leaned over to kiss Wanxi's cheeks and ear temples. When they were rubbing together, his face became warm again, and he muttered in a hoarse voice, "...fortunately, you haven't given it yet. Little Shiwu is weaning, otherwise, just this time, your stomach should be round again."

Wanxi couldn't open her eyes, she just grabbed the emperor's sleeve, and smiled shyly, "I did it on purpose... I just wanted to call my servant's stomach rounder than my master's belly~"

The emperor turned Wanxi's chin again, put his mouth together and kissed him, and then coaxed softly, "Okay, go to sleep. The Lord is going to give a banquet to the Mongolian princes and princes. Today there is Guo Guiren." Amaubashi, I need to try to appease you."

Only then did Wanxi wake up, but she also sighed and smiled, "Cough, this servant is really confused, why do you keep calling 'Guo Guiren'? The master clearly ordered 'Guo Guiren' the day after her death. The nobleman passed away, and he was registered as a concubine. All the ceremonies should be handled by the yamen as usual."

"The servant should call her 'Guo Concubine'. We can call her officially when the emperor chooses a title for Guo Concubine. Although Ama, Concubine Xun, who is here tonight is heartbroken by the loss of her daughter, it can be seen that the Lord has already chased after her. As a concubine, can you feel more relieved?"

The emperor also sighed, "I am also an Ama myself, and I also have a young daughter under my knees. I also understand his pain."

Wanxi raised her head and tried her best to give an encouraging smile, "Master will definitely be able to appease Taijiubash, I believe in you."

The emperor took a deep breath, nodded Wanxi's nose again, and stood up.

When he reached the door, he told Yu Rui, "You made the master sweat a lot just now. You all waited on me carefully, changed into dry clothes, and dried your hair early. It's windy on the grassland, and it's already September. Don't let her catch a cold."
.
After the emperor left, Yurui came forward to help Wanxi change her dry clothes according to the emperor's will.

While serving Wanxi, Yurui still reported softly, "I also just got the letter, saying that the empress ordered Yongxuan to accompany Qingzao and go back to Beijing first."

"The reason given by the empress is of course high-sounding, that is to say that Qing Zao is injured, so he will stay in the palace to take care of him, but the palace is not as good as Beijing, so there is no need to stay in the paddock for a long time."

Wanxi wasn't surprised, but she couldn't help squinting her eyes slightly after all, "Poor Yongqi has been worried that Yongxuan will steal his limelight—even though Yongxuan is the first time to accompany Qiuxi, Yongxuan's His legs and feet are destined to be inferior to Yongqi's in riding and shooting - this time, it's a good thing, Yongxuan finally returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, and there is no way to steal Yongqi's limelight in front of the emperor."

"But the empress sent Yongxuan back to Beijing, not for Yongqi; the empress has easily snatched away the limelight that originally belonged to Yongxuan and gave it to Yongzheng."

Yurui narrowed her eyes, "I think the queen's intention is another layer: that is, the empress has already found Mingyi. As sister said, she doesn't want people to say that she is a step-wife queen. She wanted to hold on to Empress Yuan's nephew; but she didn't want to be questioned by the eighth elder brother and his wife, so she managed to ask eighth elder brother and eighth Fujin to go back to Beijing first, so that she could free up her hands before doing anything. arrange."

A strand of hair slid down her shoulders and fell on the edge of the Kang.Wanxi stared down at her strand of blue hair, and nodded slowly.

"You're right. It's a separation starting today, and starting tomorrow, the Empress will turn the blame on Concubine Yu."

"As long as this matter turns to Concubine Yu, Yong Qi's performance during the siege will definitely be affected; then Yong Xin will have a chance to show his talents."

Yu Rui couldn't help but sneered, "Tell them two dogs to bite dogs, it must be another fun!"

Wanxi raised her eyes to look at Yurui, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "The more the two of them bite each other, the more lively they are, and they can't separate their minds to hit our Xiaoshiwu's idea again."

Yu Rui nodded slowly, "I don't know what Concubine Xin is in the palace at the moment, and what she's busy with. Sister tried to get the Empress to confront Concubine Yu, but don't ignore Concubine Xin."

Wanxi raised her eyes to look at Yurui, and asked suddenly, "Jiufu Jin is about to give birth, right? When we go back to Beijing, it may be full moon."

Yu Rui raised her eyebrows, "Sister, why did you suddenly ask about Jiufu Jin?"

Wanxi lowered her eyes lightly, "Mingyi is being entangled in this moment, which makes us and Yongxuan all the same. Someone needs to clear up Mingyi's suspicion... Yurui, tell Concubine Xin to do it How about this?"

The news of Concubine Guo's death was only reported back to the capital in September.

In a few days, he handed back Queen Nala's imperial decree, ordering Concubine Yu, who was headed in Beijing, to arrange the manpower of Xiefang Hall in advance to welcome Yongxuan and Qingzao back to Beijing.

Concubine Yu and Concubine Xin were both secretly happy that their wish came true.

However, Qingzao's injury seemed more like a "happy surprise" to Concubine Yu.After all, when Concubine Xin made plans with her, she only talked about Guo Guiren who was cooking at the time, but did not mention how Qing Zao was involved.

Concubine Yu took Nala's order and did not dare to be negligent, so she suppressed her joy and went back to the palace from the Old Summer Palace to personally dispatch the staff in the Xiefang Palace to arrange the reception of Qingzao; The hospital is ready.

The Xiefang Hall was ready, so Concubine Yu rushed back to the Old Summer Palace excitedly.Taking advantage of the twilight, he hurried to the courtyard where Concubine Xin lived.

Concubine Xin went to the door to greet her in person. Concubine Yu didn't wait for Concubine Xin to salute, she hurriedly pulled Concubine Xin up, "I'm suffocating to death. Tell me quickly, how did Qing Zao get involved in this matter?" came in?"

"Although the news from the paddock only said that Qingzao fell off the horse 'accidentally'; but I wondered why these two incidents came together so quickly!"

Concubine Yu couldn't hold back her admiration, and looked carefully at Concubine Xin's expression.

"I expected that you must be helping me! But you didn't tell me in advance, and when everything was settled, you gave me such a big surprise!"
.
Concubine Xin was complacent to be able to make Concubine Yu so irresistible in her admiration; but on the surface, she just bowed her head humbly and smiled faintly.

"Sister Yu praised you absurdly, but I am ashamed to call you my little sister. After all, compared with Guo Guiren and Bafujin, which one is more important in Sister Yu's heart, my little sister is clear in my heart. But, in matters Before the project is finished, I am too embarrassed to talk too much in front of Sister Yu; otherwise, if I can't do it, won't I disappoint Sister Yu?"

"So, at that time, I could only take a step back. First, I helped my sister take care of Guo Guiren, who was ordered to be a concubine by my sister's side. It's just that my heart was already determined at that time, little girl. Since we are going to do it, we can’t just help Sister Yu unplug Guo Guiren who is not worth enough, I have to give Sister Yu another one with more weight.”

"I secretly arranged this matter, and everything depends on the right time, place and people. But it is my sister's fortune to have God's help. This makes my sister's flowers bloom side by side, and all my wishes come true!"

Concubine Yu clapped her hands in surprise, "Oh, it turns out that you have been heading towards Yongxuan's Fujin from the very beginning! Sister Xin, you are really good at playing chess, and now you really helped me relieve my heart and play two games at the same time. go worry."

Concubine Xin raised her eyes with a smile, and stared at Concubine Yu, "The reason why I have tried my best to help Sister Yu is that I believe in my heart that with Sister Yu's character, she will definitely help my younger sister in the same way."

Concubine Yu was a little embarrassed, she stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Xin's hand, and quickly nodded in agreement, "That's for sure! Sister Xin, if I can help you, just ask!"

But Concubine Yu hesitated again, "It's just... If your concern is in the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid I don't have the ability. You also know that my mother's family is also humble, and the emperor only rewarded me after I gave birth to Yongqi." Give me, Ama, the title of a sixth-rank member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

"Besides, my family's ancestors were in the Horqin Grassland. Even if my family can do some things, they are all in the north. After all, the south of the Yangtze River is far away, and I really can't reach it."

Concubine Xin's eyes drooped, "Sister Yu is so confiding with me, how can I not understand Sister Yu's difficulties? But Sister Yu, don't worry, although I want to help my brother-in-law succeed in Jiangnan, but I still have others at home .”

Concubine Yu was slightly sad, "No, your elder brother is Duo Luo's son-in-law; your second brother-in-law is the minister, and your third brother-in-law is the secretary in the cabinet... Even your mother is the cousin of the old Prince Yi and the niece of the imperial concubine Jingmin. Manchuria Your family with the yellow flag, if you have something to do, how can you not do it?"

Speaking of the wealth of her mother's family, Concubine Xin was a little proud in front of Concubine Yu who came from a humble background.

Concubine Xin sighed contentedly, and lowered her head with a smile, "Manchurian famous families have intermarried for generations, and they are intertwined with each other. Sister Yu mentioned that my mother-in-law is the cousin of the old Prince Yi, and Sister Yu knew it. Mother is also from the Zhang Jia family."

"Yin Jishan is also Zhang Jia's family. If we calculate a few more generations from our ancestors, my mother-in-law is from the same clan as the current minister of Yili, Agui, the No. 17 hero of Ziguangge Tuying, and Yin Jishan. "

Concubine Yu also opened her mouth, "In this way, don't you...?"

Concubine Xin glanced at Concubine Yu, and smiled sweetly, "No, I risked everything for Sister Yu, even my relatives from the same clan as my mother! Throw me to death, or deny me as a daughter."

"After all, I gave my all to please sister, without reservation."

Concubine Yu's face turned red, and she quickly squeezed Concubine Xin's hand, "I know your mother is from the Zhang Jia family, and Yin Jishan is also from the Zhang Jia family, but I am from the Eight Banners of Mongolia after all, so I don't know much about you Manchurians. The origin of the family; after all, there are so many people in the Zhang Jia family, and they are not all of the same ancestor; even the banners are different."

"Sister Xin, please allow me to say something disrespectful: Imperial Concubine Jingmin's mother's house, which is also your maternal ancestor's house, was originally in the Emperor Kangxi's reign, and the House of Internal Affairs was inlaid with yellow flags, so Imperial Concubine Jingmin still entered the palace as an official woman. ...and Yin Jishan's family is the Manchurian branch with the Yellow Banner."

"Based on this distinction, I thought they were two unrelated families. I don't know that a few generations ago, they were still of the same clan. My dear sister, I really don't want to deliberately deny you I'm going with all my heart."

Concubine Xin raised her eyes, and then she just smiled, "Of course I understand Sister Yu's intentions. Otherwise, why should I mention it to Sister Yu at this moment? Could it be that I deliberately wanted to make Sister Yu feel uncomfortable, but to make us feel uncomfortable?" Is it okay for the two sisters to go away?"

Only then did Concubine Yu laugh "Ouch", "Sister Xin is naturally not that kind of person! Then I can feel at ease, or else I'll be really sorry."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, Yu Concubine Fang Zhuangshi broke his wrist and said: "I also understand that sister Xin has two things on her mind at this time: one is about Jiangnan, and the other is about my sister. A matter of revival."

"Since the matter of Jiangnan, I really can't reach it; the matter of my sister's return to favor, then I will definitely do my best! I have been in the palace for decades, although I have never fought for favor, but this time for sister Xin You, I will fight too!"
.
Concubine Xin was finally satisfied and left, the sedan chair had been out for a long time, looking back, she could still see Concubine Yu watching her off at the door.

Le Rong withdrew his gaze, smiled, and said softly at the car window, "It's rare that Master Yu made such an oath this time. Master, but the servant is a little worried, because the master has already died for Concubine Yu." I have put all my heart and soul into it, but can Concubine Yu really repay the master with the same heart?"

Concubine Xin was sitting in the sedan chair, walking leisurely with the sedan chair, listening to Le Rong's words, but not affected by Le Rong's worry at all.She chuckled leisurely, "Why did you forget, how old is Concubine Yu this year? If she doesn't help me, can she still compete for favor by herself?"

Le Rong was startled, then lowered her head and smiled, "No way! Concubine Yu will be 50 in the next year... the heads of the inner court, the green head card will be withdrawn at the age of [-], and she will no longer serve the bed If she still fights for her own favor at this moment, what will happen?"

Concubine Xin raised the corners of her lips slightly, "It's just that there are still two years before she withdraws the green card, so if she helps me now, it can still be counted as helping me and giving me this great favor." .”

"I just don't want to wait another two years, otherwise, after two years, I wouldn't mind exchanging this with her."

Hearing Concubine Xin's words, Le Rong sighed quietly.

Isn't the master unwilling to wait for these two years?Two years doesn't sound like a long time, but how many two years are there in a woman's youth?

Although her master is ten years younger than Concubine Ling, she is a mother who has given birth to two children after all; she has fallen out of favor and been left out in the past few years... There is no harem woman nourished by the emperor's favor, which makes it even more difficult He looked even more haggard.

Next year will be the emperor's third tour to the south, and with the help of Mr. An Ning, who is very important in the south of the Yangtze River, the master can take this opportunity to regain his favor; after all, the emperor's southern tour does not happen every year, at least five or six years in between If you go, it will not be comparable to two years.

Master can't even wait for two years, so he can't wait for five or six years.Therefore, next year's southern tour may be the master's only chance to regain favor.

Thinking of this, Le Rong couldn't help but sigh secretly: Master must understand the significance of next year's opportunity, which will never come again, so the things arranged this time are all ruthless, and they are really used enough My heart is gone.
.
Back in the bedroom, Le Rong personally waited on Concubine Xin to take off the hairpin. Seeing Concubine Xin in a good mood, she smiled and said, "Master's plan to kill two birds with one stone this time is really brilliant. Even Concubine Yu didn't expect it, so I Not to mention those people in the paddock."

Concubine Xin shrugged proudly, and snorted slightly, "After all, Yongxuan's Fujin is Yin Jishan's daughter. If I said it directly, I was going for her. With the emperor's brain, I am afraid that the emperor will directly think of me. Come on. After all, the old grudge between my brother-in-law and Yin Jishan, the emperor knows better than me."

"That's why I first found Guo Guiren as a shield, and took the initiative to tell Concubine Yu to help her get rid of the nail beside her. After all, it started with Guo Guiren, and it was the emperor or others who suspected it. Someone arranged it, but I can only think about Guo Guiren, and guess who has conflicting interests with Guo Guiren; even if someone wants to guess, I can only guess about Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu has become my shield again. "

"I have no relationship with Guo Guiren, let alone any grievances. Therefore, I can't get in touch with me about this matter... I use Guo Guiren's shield to make Na Qingzao eat it hard After losing money this time, this is naturally enough for Yin Jishan to worry about."

"As long as Yin Jishan's heart is tied so that he doesn't have time to just stare at my brother-in-law, then my brother-in-law will be able to travel in Jiangsu naturally."
.
In the next few days, on the way back to Beijing from the paddock one after another, they reported Yongxuan and Qingzao's itinerary by station every day.

When Yongxuan protected Qingzao and returned to the boundary of the capital, and could go back to the palace in two days, Concubine Yu went back to the palace from Yuanmingyuan to greet her.

Concubine Xin had already finished her arrangements, and now she could only wait quietly for the emperor to return, and there was nothing else she could do.

So he became a little bored, but today he unexpectedly received a notification, saying that Jiufujin handed over a sign and wanted to come into the courtyard to say hello.

Although she couldn't figure out what Jiufujin came to the garden for a moment, but when she heard that Jiufujin was coming to see her, Concubine Xin was very happy from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly told Le Rong and Le Yi to prepare the next Jiufujin's favorite pastry. Now, let's take care of the eighth princess Shunying's mothers, and dress up the eighth princess carefully.

On the day of Jiufu Jin's arrival, Concubine Xin had already made preparations early. When Jiufu Jin came in to salute, Concubine Xin held her hand affectionately, "I heard the good news from Jiufujin a long time ago. This is another time for Jiufujin. A Gege was born for Duke Zhongyong, right?"

Concubine Xin held Jiu Fujin's hand, looked around, and clicked her tongue, "Look, Jiu Fujin is even more wealthy now, she is really blessed! I am really enviable!"

Jiufu Jin also smiled, "On the day of the full moon, the daughter of the slave family also received a reward from Master Xin. It was inconvenient for the slave to enter the garden to thank her, but now she has confinement and can move around freely, so she handed the sign in early Give thanks to the masters."

Concubine Xin raised her eyebrows quietly, and looked carefully at Jiufu Jin, "Fu Jiuye and Jiu Fujin's child is the niece of Empress Xiaoxian and the niece of Concubine Shu; at the same time, she is also the sister-in-law of Princess Hejia... This is not related to us. The royal family is inextricably linked, and the dignitaries in the palace naturally care about it too."

"On the day of Little Gege's full moon, some of the dignitaries in the palace were not in the capital, but I know that they all prepared rewards to congratulate Little Gege. Not to mention others, Concubine Shu is naturally the first gift. ; The other empresses and imperial concubines are naturally indispensable as well."

"Jiufu Jin came to the garden today. Since he specially handed over a sign to thank you, but the empress, concubine Ling, and concubine Shu, the three highest-ranking figures in the harem, were not there. Then Jiufujin came at the right time, isn't it? And you won’t be able to meet the person you want to see the most~”

Jiufu Jin wasn't surprised at all, he lowered his head and just smiled faintly, "What Master Xin said is that the servants naturally dare not mess up the dignity and status in the palace, and the servants enter the palace to pay their respects, so naturally they must not leave it to the Queen's master." , Concubine Master, and Concubine Shu's master kowtow."

"It's just that Concubine Xin's master is wise, and she must be able to understand that even if a servant handes over a sign to invite you in, the time he can stay in the palace is limited each time. How often does he even have time to see Master Concubine Shu when he enters the palace? You have to be urged to go out by the masters who follow the palace guards to count the time."

"That's why, this time, this slave is also being cautious, thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity that the Queen's master and the others have not yet returned to Luan, first pass the sign in to thank you, and first give the grace to the masters who stayed in the capital. Thanks; just wait for the emperor to return to Luan, and then pass the sign and come in."

Jiufujin said with a smile and glanced at Concubine Xin, "Besides, the slave gave birth to Ge Ge this time, and I just want to ask the masters in the palace about their experience in raising Ge Ge, so naturally only Concubine Xin is the most suitable master. "
.
Mentioning her daughter, Xin Xin's heart finally softened.

Concubine Yu said that she has two concerns, one is about Jiangnan, and the other is about regaining favor; in fact, there is a third, and for her, it is the most important thing - that is her daughter, She is the only child still alive at this time.

Although Shunying is still young, the Seventh Princess has already proposed marriage within two months; although the Ninth Princess has not formally engaged in marriage, she is also worried that it will not be far away.

What about her Shunying?If the emperor doesn't think about it for her, then wouldn't she be indifferent as a mother-in-law?

What's more-her Shunying is different from all princesses.That defect is even more unspeakable than the fourth princess's "Buddha's hand".

Because of the "Buddha's hand" of the fourth princess, the emperor was worried that if the fourth princess married to Mongolia, she would be disliked by other Mongolian princes, so he promised the fourth princess to the emperor's most trusted Fu Heng family, and to the eldest son of the Fu Heng family; What about her Shunying, who will she promise to go to in the future so that she can rest assured?

Now that the four princesses have been promised to Fu Heng's family, and since I heard that the four princesses are still beautiful after marriage, even if Fu Heng and Jiu Fujin have never shown the slightest dislike - then she gradually accepted the truth, I don't think I have to marry Shunying into Fu Heng's family as well, so that she can feel at ease.

What's more, Fu Heng's family has a ready-made Fu Kang'an, who is about the same age as Shunying, and also happens to be the son of the first son.
What's more, Fukang'an's child was raised by the emperor in the inner court since he was a child. From this point of view, why didn't the emperor also regard Fukang'an as a "finger-in-law"?

——After all, the sons of foreign ministers who can be raised in the inner court have been the only sons-in-law over the years.

Then this is naturally the right time, place and people, and it is the best arrangement God gave her for Shunying.

She had to hold on tightly, and refused to let go no matter what.

Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied she was with Concubine Shu, her attitude towards Jiufu Jin was still different.Now that Jiufujin took the initiative to mention her daughter's matter to her, her heart would be like a blooming flower.

She hurriedly called out, "Le Rong, tell Shunying's mother to bring Shunying to pay her respects to her aunt. It's rare for her aunt to come in. Didn't Shunying say last time that she loves playing with brother Bao the most?"
.
Not long after, Shunying was brought by the nuns to salute Jiufu Jin.

Shunying's fourth birthday is also this year. Seeing that she will officially enter school next year, she has already learned to write big characters a year in advance, and also recite some basic poems.

At this moment, Jiufujin had nothing to say to Shunying, so he only asked two sentences about homework, and asked Shunying two sentences of the simplest poems, such as "the moonlight in front of the bed" and so on.

Shunying is also clever, and she can answer questions fluently.But without reciting a few words, he grabbed Jiu Fujin's hand and said, "Auntie, the most handsome thing about me is not memorizing memorandum, but fighting on horseback! Auntie just let me go, I will show my auntie how to fight on horseback!"

Jiufu Jin was slightly taken aback, but Concubine Xin's face suddenly changed color.

Concubine Xin hurriedly hugged Shunying, and stopped her, "You naughty girl! You like to ride horses and fight, even if you are a member of our Manchurian family, you must know it; but your aunt is also a nobleman of the Yehenala family. Ge Ge, but your aunt's family has a long history of education, and now she doesn't know much about riding horses, let alone fighting..."

Jiu Fujin didn't think much about it, and just nodded with a smile, "Master Xin Concubine said that riding and archery is our Manchurian tradition. As Gege from a Manchurian family, we should all know it. Our eighth princess is even more the emperor Even though my daughter is young, she has not forgotten the roots of her ancestors, which is really a gratifying thing."

Shunying was eager to show off, so she didn't care about seeing her mother's pale face, and wanted to hold Jiufujin's hand, "Auntie, then I'll give my aunt a stride! My stride is firm and long, Several boys from the clan's family are inferior to me!"

Concubine Xin almost staggered, the world in front of her was suddenly upside down.

Originally, she wanted to ask Shunying to make a good impression in front of Jiufujin, but now, she was timid.

She hurriedly greeted Shunying's mother, "Is it time for Princess Jiu to write big characters again? Take her back. When I can finish writing, I will ask my aunt to correct me."

The eighth princess was a bit reluctant, but Concubine Xin felt chills in her eyes, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Aren't you going?! My aunt is good at calligraphy and painting, how can a child who can make my aunt look into her eyes can't even write big characters? When you finish writing, Ernie will naturally ask her aunt to come and see you."

The eighth princess was frightened by her mother's expression, so she had no choice but to go, with reluctance, but also with the same amount of caution.

Also being a mother, Jiufujin felt sympathy when he watched this scene.

Has she ever clearly wanted to push her child in front of others, wanting everyone to say that her child is good, but her child's behavior is not satisfactory, and instead she always "puts her eyes on it" How do you feel?Her Kang'er, in front of Concubine Ling, she also wished she could give birth to an octopus to push the child forward...

Jiufujin sympathized with Concubine Xin's embarrassment at this moment, so he quickly smiled and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, this servant should have come in to thank you a long time ago, but Master Jiu drove to Mulan and was not in Beijing. Apart from taking care of little Gege who just gave birth, this servant also has several family members In addition to the two children, I have to take care of this ordinary nephew of the Fu family."

"Sleeping Dazong of our Fu family, the fourth elder brother Cheng Engong died early; the current Dazong is only his nephew Mingrui, he is young after all, and was sent by the emperor to go back to Xinjiang to do business, and he has not been in Beijing for a long time; Master Jiu has to take care of everything big and small; when Master Jiu is not at home, he is proud to be taken care of by a slave."

Hearing Jiufujin mentioned "a group of nephews", Concubine Xin couldn't help withdrawing her thoughts because she had something clear in her heart, and listened attentively.

After Fujin finished speaking, Concubine Xin asked with a chuckle, "I don't know what happened to Jiu Ye's nephews?"
.
Jiufujin weighed it in his heart, and said with a smile, "When it comes to a group of nephews, naturally we must first mention Dazong Mingrui of our Fu family who inherited the title of Duke Chengen."

"Mingrui, he has just been ordered by the emperor to go to Yili in exchange for Lord Agui who has been working in Ili for many years. Yili has a lot of connections in the northwest and can be called the capital city of the northwest; It’s not easy to think about it.”

"Then Mingrui won't be able to return for several years. As an aunt, I have to help him get ready."

Since only Mingrui was mentioned, Concubine Xin also breathed a sigh of relief.Nodded, "That's right. Besides, it's bitter cold in the northwest, and it can't compare to the prosperity of Beijing. As long as you bring enough food and use, there will be no shortage."

Jiufujin raised his eyes and stared at Concubine Xin, recalling Wanxi's letter from Mulan to her again, and then said slowly, "...Mingrui is a Dazong with the title of Duke, and With military merits in his body, Master Jiu will not be worried."

"It's the children of the second master's family who are worrying about Jiu Ye and the servant. I heard that the news came from the paddock that Mr. Guo Gui was dead, and the eighth elder brother's Fujin was also injured... and someone vaguely said that He said that Jiu Ye's nephew, Ming Yi, was in charge of guarding the Siyuan, so he was also implicated in this matter."

Concubine Xin's heart skipped a beat.

Jiufujin lowered his eyes, and sighed deeply, "Our Lord Jiu was furious when he heard about this. Please send me a copy of the book, and said in the letter, I'm afraid someone has plotted to clarify this matter." Go to that kid. After all, he's just a teenager, so there's no need to have any grudge against anyone; but since someone plotted against that kid, I'm afraid it's for Master Jiu..."

Jiufujin raised his eyes slowly, and his eyes flicked across Concubine Xin's face, "Master Jiu said, when he comes back to Beijing, he must investigate this matter himself. It means digging three feet, or searching all the places in Beijing. Family, we must also find out this person."

"If this person is intentional, then no matter who it is, he will be the enemy of my entire Fu family from now on, and there will be no more friendship."

Immediately, Concubine Xin felt very stuffy in her chest, like a big rock was holding her breath, and she couldn't get up or down.

She thought to herself: If Fu Heng's angry words are used, if Fu Heng can really track her down, does that mean that it will be difficult for her Shunying to marry the Fu family?
Or in other words, even if the emperor can directly refer to the marriage in the future, after Shunying marries into the Fu family, this matter will affect her and dislike her parents-in-law?

Concubine Xin had never been afraid of what happened to her in the harem.Because she has confidence in herself, she firmly believes that she is familiar with the way of fighting in the harem, she has the ability to protect herself, and she will try her best, wait for the opportunity, and try to make a comeback.

However, if it was her daughter, she would lose all confidence.

She laughed, it was a voice she had never heard before, "...it must be wrong. How could it be caused by Fu Erye's son? Guo Guiren is a Mongolian, and he has never met that child , What did that kid plot against Guo Guiren?!"

Jiufujin heaved a sigh of relief, and already let go of half of his heart, "Who says it's not! That child is totally out of reach with Guo Guiren~~"

Jiu Fujin quietly looked at Concubine Xin, "But I also heard that someone explained that Yi's child was not going for Guo Guiren, but for Eighth Brother's Fujin."

Concubine Xin's guilt was even worse, and sweat started to form on the corners of her forehead.

"Ming Yi went after the eighth elder brother's Fujin? Oh, what did you say? I heard that because he is the nephew of Empress Xiaoxian, he is on good terms with all the princes. .Especially with the eighth elder brother who is similar in age, the friendship is better!"

"Since that's the case, why would Mingyi harm Eighth Brother's Fujin?"

Jiufujin also sneered in his heart, but he could only pretend to be ignorant on his face, "Isn't it! I really don't understand what the person who plotted against Mingyi's child behind his back, Jing Jing is thinking! This shit doesn't make sense, how can it be possible?" Can it be spread?"

Concubine Xin felt as if she had been slapped on the cheek, she raised her eyes to look at Jiufujin in a daze, the corners of her lips twitched, but she held back her words.

Seeing the situation like this, Jiufujin didn't want to fight, but got up and left with a sigh.

"The slave has to thank Concubine Yu's master when I turn back. The slave has just given birth, but Yingyuan Gege, who is under the fifth elder brother, is about to give birth. It's a matter of fate."

Concubine Xin smiled awkwardly, "That's right, Jiu Fujin went to see Sister Yu, so I believe he can understand why the eighth elder brother Fujin went to see rumors that Mingyi harmed him."

Lan Pei's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help staring at Concubine Xin, "Master Xin, what did you say...? This slave is really dull."

Concubine Xin struggled a few times in her heart, but now she could hear the only voice in her heart - she couldn't just let Jiu Fujin go.

If he let go like this, maybe he would never have the chance to keep Fukang'an as the son-in-law for Shunying.

After all, that Fukang'an was already eight years old, and the nine princesses who made the noble concubine had also finished getting the acne in peace, and it was getting to the right age for marriage.

Concubine Xin reached out and grabbed Lan Pei's hand, "Didn't Jiufu Jin hear about it? Just as Brother Ba's wedding was approaching, someone saw an official woman sneaking into Brother Ba's house! "

"Before the big wedding, there was an official woman who had a private relationship with the hot-blooded young prince. Doesn't Jiufu Jin understand what happened? And since the eighth elder brother had an affair with the official woman before getting married, Jiu Fujin might as well think about it, who else would the eighth elder brother and the official woman dislike?"

"If the personal relationship is tormented, the eighth elder brother or the official woman will definitely do something to frame the eighth Fujin!"

"They are all teenage children. When they are the most impulsive, it is inevitable that at the time when the faces are hot and the vows are made, the buddies promised that she will be the only one in his house in the future, and she will inevitably regard herself as the only one in her heart." The prince Fujin has gone...The eighth elder brother's Fujin has naturally become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, how can we be happy if we don't get rid of it?"

"And since Ming Yi is the best friend of the eighth prince, if the eighth elder brother has the idea to ask his best friend to help with this - it will be logical, isn't it?"
