That night, Kunning Palace was assigned two deer and two deer that were hunted in Nanyuan during the day.Nanny Rong then ordered her subordinates to make a bowl of minced meat with these fresh ingredients and present it to Empress Nala's as a supper.

Seeing that the Empress was in a low mood and had no intention of eating, Rong Rong was going to find some gossip to listen to and cheer the Empress up.

Mother Rong said: "I heard that Lord Long Live hunted a lot of prey today, and the ministers and the harem shared a lot. Concubine Ling got two deer, but no roe."

Seeing that the queen didn't reply, Rong Nuo said again: "Our twelfth elder brother has also hunted it."

The queen pursed her lips and smiled, "Forget it, just come back safely."

Seeing the queen like this, Rong Rong said jokingly: "Unfortunately, all the good things that our [-]th elder brother hunted were lost by Huanzhu Gege."

"What's the matter?" the queen asked.

Mother Rong smiled and said: "When the emperor was distributing the things, he suddenly remembered, and pointed to those prey and said, send this one, that one, and the one over there to Huanzhu Gege, so that she won't be pestering me all the time." Bicker and eat."

The queen smiled and said: "The emperor loves the little swallow." She sighed and said: "The royal rule is to hold grandchildren but not children. It is not only women and children who suffer."

Mother Rong said: "Your Majesty is right. The Emperor has so many elder brothers and princesses, yet he has never raised a child by himself."

The queen said: "So for the emperor, the little swallow is rare. I like it when I look at it. The fifth princess is still here, and I'm afraid she is taller than her."

Nanny Rong didn't know how to answer the words, she was afraid that if she relieved the empress, she would hurt the empress's heart instead.

The queen didn't look depressed, she picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip, then said to Nanny Rong: "Just now you said that the emperor didn't raise a child by himself, that's not true. You forgot about someone."

Mother Rong was taken aback for a moment, then she understood, and said: "Your Majesty is referring to the third son of Mr. Fu's family."

The queen nodded and said: "Fu Kang'an from Fu Heng's family. The child was brought here by the emperor just after the full moon. After all, the emperor is his uncle. At the beginning, he said that the queen mother was lonely and wanted to raise the queen's nephew in the queen mother's palace. I'm afraid he hugged more than the Queen Mother."

Mother Rong curled her lips and said: "Where is uncle." Then said: "Fortunately, it is uncle."

The queen smiled and said: "The child's aptitude is excellent, and the emperor has always felt sorry for it. But according to me, if you gain something, you will lose it. The relationship between him and the emperor is deeper than that of the royal father and son. It is hard to change anything."

Mother Rong said: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for four or five years."

The queen said: "This child is good in everything, but his personality is too stubborn. When that incident happened at the beginning, the Long Live Lord, who has always advertised as a "gentleman", was furious. Many people in the palace thought that Fukang'an had offended the holy man since then. Heart, how could I know that Long Live would value him even more when his anger subsides."

Mother Rong said: "What he did was too bold and reckless. But Long Live Lord is really unpredictable. Usually, I hate things that don't go according to my own wishes. Everyone needs to obey him, but that time..."

The queen shook her head and smiled: "Mama, you don't understand. We, Long Live Lord, want to act arbitrarily and hate people who are useless and have no opinions. He doesn't even think about it. Companion to the king is like a tiger. He alone controls the life and death of the whole world." Honor and disgrace, who can stand upright in front of him? Long live is just an idiot. But Fukang'an's incident back then had a reason, and there were so many years of love and... blood relationship. After that incident, The emperor once said in private, 'Fukang is kind to me'. In short, that matter should not be generalized with other things."

When the fifth elder brother returned to Jingyang Palace from the Nanyuan paddock, it was already dark.

Erkang, the imperial guard, went to work in the front court, and Ertai accompanied the fifth elder brother to sit in the study for a while.

After entering the study, Ertai immediately told the idlers to avoid him, and then told the fifth elder brother what Fu Erkang had told him about what Qianlong said in the paddock just now.

After listening to the fifth elder brother, he said: "Yes. What's the matter, what a fuss."

Ertai said anxiously: "Fifth elder brother, you want to show the emperor a better side."

The fifth elder brother said: "The twelfth elder brother is the eldest son."

Er Tai said: "You are the eldest son now! No matter Lixian or Lichang, it is yours."

The fifth elder brother said: "My biological mother died young, and she was only a noble person when she gave birth to me. There is no strong backing in the court."

Ertai said loudly: "What's the matter? Today's sage Gangang is arbitrary, he said that whoever has you, you will have yours. Besides, Lingfei and my father are also on your side, fifth elder brother."

After a pause, Ertai laughed again: "I heard that today the emperor turned over the brand of Lingfei Niangniang. In terms of love, the current empress is far inferior to the empress who was filial and virtuous; in terms of favor, she is not as good as Lingfei Niangniang. Mother has no favor." , Elder Brother Twelve himself has no talent for the country, what is Brother Fifth still worrying about?"

The Fifth Elder Brother pondered for a moment, and still said: "Thank you, Concubine Ling, and Lord Fulun for me. But without my order, you are not allowed to do anything, and you are not allowed to do anything to win courtiers! Remember!"

Seeing that Ertai was not angry, the fifth elder brother laughed and laughed and said: "Erkang is getting more and more useful in front of the emperor, and the burden in my heart has been lightened a lot; and you are going to the study with me. Do a good job in front of the clansmen, so that everyone can see Twelve Elder Brother's embarrassing face."

Soon, Ertai resigned.

The fifth elder brother turned to face the big screen in the study and asked, "Master, do you think what I did is right?"

A middle-aged man in a long robe and mandarin jacket turned out from behind the screen. He walked up to the fifth elder brother and said, "You have done a good job. What you need to do now is to wait patiently. We are fledgling now, If you act rashly and arouse the suspicion of the emperor, you will lose everything. The trust of the emperor is the most valuable and most easily lost thing that is extremely fragile and precious."
