"Story of Yanxi Palace" White Moonlight

Five & Hongli

"Er Niang," while Rong Yin was still sitting in the hall dressing, Yong Lian ran in barefoot from outside the hall, so anxious was the little eunuch who was putting on his shoes behind him, bowing and trotting in with his shoes and socks, "Er Brother, don't run away."

Rong Yin turned her head, her hair fell down her waist.Seeing the dazed look on Yong Lian's face who had just woken up, a trace of tenderness flashed across Rong Yin's heart, and he waved to the little eunuch waiting not far away, "Go down."

Mingyu went to the little eunuch, took the shoes and socks, and handed them to the empress.

Rong Yin pulled Yong Lian to sit in his arms, touched his slightly cold feet, and scolded him with a smile, "Yong Lian, do you know what you did wrong?"

Yong Lian looked at Rong Yin's clear and elegant face, his clear eyes, and wrinkled his little face after thinking for a long time before shaking his head and being honest, "I don't know, my mother please tell me clearly."

Rong Yin pointed at Yong Lian's bare feet, "Your mistake is running around barefoot, your body is yourself, you have to take care of it yourself."

Yong Lian poked his finger with some guilt, bit his lip and looked down at his little feet, Nuonuo said: "Emiang, Yong Lian is also in a hurry...to see you."

Amused by Yong Lian, Rong Yin pointed at Yong Lian's small nose with his fingertips and asked him: "Do you know what's wrong?"

Yong Lian was a good boy, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake, "It's the boy's fault, the boy must take good care of his body, don't let Erniang worry."

Seeing that Yonglian is very well-behaved, Rongyin's seriousness and anger disappeared, and he took the shoes and socks from Mingyu for Yonglian to put on.Yong Lian waited for Er Niang to help him dress, slipped down from Rong Yin's arms, ran to Rong Yin's back and touched the smooth hair like satin, enviously said: "E Niang's hair is really smooth, Yong Lian gave Er Niang How about brushing your hair?"

Rong Yin held Yong Lian's little hand with a very gentle attitude, "Okay, my Yong Lian will comb her hair when she grows up."

Mingyu handed the rhino horn comb to Yong Lian under Rong Yin's beckoning eyes, and Yong Lian ran behind Er Niang, combed the ends of her hair, and said innocently in her sweet mouth, "E Niang is a fairy descended from the sky. Woolen cloth."

Rong Yin was praised by Yong Lian so that his eyes were full of sparkling little stars, Rong Yin said to Yong Lian: "I am a fairy, so my Yong Lian is a little fairy boy who descended to earth."

Yong Lian was tired after combing for a while, so Rong Yin took him to wash and let him sit by the bed first. While looking at Xiao Yong Lian, he urged Mingyu to hurry up and do it, so Mingyu had to speed up and do it. With a very simple hairstyle, after inserting a gardenia golden hairpin, Rong Yin stood up impatiently.

"Yong Lian, come and have breakfast with me." Rong Yin stepped forward and held Yong Lian's little hand, feeling happy.

"Okay," Yong Lian bounced and followed Rong Yin out of the inner hall.

The people of Changchun Palace had already served breakfast, and they set up a table full of food from all over the world, which made Yong Lian's eyes roll.Rong Yin sat down, glanced at it, and snorted, "The news about the Imperial Dining Room is really well-informed."

She just informed Wu Shulai yesterday that her breakfast in Changchun Palace is comparable to that of Concubine Gao's Chuxiu Palace.

Rong Yin picked up the chopsticks, glanced at the people standing around, and held the chopsticks for Yong Lian, "You all go down, Mingyu stays."

"Yes!" A group of maids filed out.

"Mingyu, sit down too," Rong Yin pointed to the stool next to him with his chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate." Mingyu who didn't know what the queen was thinking hurriedly waved her hands and immediately refused.

"It's just the three of us in Yonglian, you don't have to be polite." Rong Yin raised her head and persuaded Mingyu, saying that Mingyu's character is the one who truly treats herself as a sister and relative. Now that no one else is around, let Mingyu eat together. how.

"Your Majesty, you can eat first." Mingyu took two steps back, shook her head and continued to refuse.

"Yong Lian," Rong Yin called Yong Lian, squinting at him.

Yong Lian, who is naturally intelligent, immediately understood, swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth, jumped off the stool to pull Mingyu, coquettishly, "Aunt Mingyu, if Erniang tells you to go, go!"

Mingyu was so entangled by Yong Lian that she was afraid that she would hurt him by pushing the second elder brother away, and she would not be able to push away Yong Lian if she didn't use force, so she looked at Rong Yin with a embarrassed face and shouted, "Mother, you... "

Rongyin took a piece of rose pastry and put it in his mouth, quietly watching Mingyu's embarrassed face, her little face wrinkled into a bun.

In the end, Mingyu couldn't help it, so he followed Yonglian and sat down next to Rongyin, picked up the spare bowls and chopsticks cautiously, and started to eat breakfast without saying a word.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Rong Yin no longer made it difficult for Ming Yu, and let her chew slowly while she was talking to Yong Lian.

After breakfast, Mingyu was dragged by Rongyin to work as a coolie, carrying a box of snacks, followed Rongyin and Yonglian to the study room, watching the mother and child talking and laughing, watching the court ladies and eunuchs bowing their heads all the way As if there was nothing, Mingyu felt inexplicably cheerful, this was her master's real temperament, not a dignified and virtuous queen,

Xiaoluzi, the eunuch who was serving Yonglian, tentatively asked, "Sister Mingyu, why does the empress walk to send the second elder brother to the study in person every day?"

Mingyu held the food box and squinted at him, "You can also guess what the master is thinking?"

Xiao Luzi hastily slapped himself in the face, flattering Mingyu, "Sister Mingyu said yes, Xiao Luzi is talking too much."

After walking for a while, Xiao Luzi looked at Mingyu struggling to hold the food box, and then leaned forward and said, "Sister Mingyu, you are tired from carrying it, why don't you hand it over to the servant?"

Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged the food box tightly again, this was what the empress asked her to hold.

Thinking about it, Mingyu tilted her head and reprimanded Xiaoluzi: "Remember that your duty is to take care of the second elder brother. If something happens to the second elder brother, be careful that the queen empress will peel your skin."

Xiao Luzi chuckled, "Of course, the servant has to protect the second elder brother with his life."

After about a stick of incense, the four of them had already reached the upper study room, Rongyin signaled Mingyu to pass the food box to Xiaoluzi, then pressed Yonglian's forehead, and said softly: "Yonglian, don't forget to promise It's about my mother."

Yong Lian's expression was a little depressed, why did Er Niang give the cakes to other people?But obediently agreed.

Seeing Yong Lian and Xiao Lu Zi enter the door of the upper study one after the other, Rong Yin felt relieved, turned around and walked back with Ming Yu, but in his heart was praying to his son Yong Lian,

Yonglian, Erniang only wishes that your life will be smooth, happy and worry-free, but you are the son of your emperor Ama, and you are talented and intelligent, and you will inherit the throne in the future.Erniang can't stop it, it can only make your path to becoming an emperor smoother.

In the study room are all the royal relatives and nobles of the three banners, the sons of important ministers and princes, and have a good relationship with them. With the pure friendship at this time, they will be a great help to you after you ascend the throne.

Mingyu didn't know the twists and turns in Rongyin's heart, but was just curious, "Mother, if you want to reward those princes to accompany them to study and eat, you can send the eunuch to go, why do you need the second elder brother to take you with you?"

Rong Yin took a look at Mingyu who was simple and kind, and said with a smile: "The reward from the eunuch Xuan, they will only remember that it is a reward from the queen, and they also remember the affection of the royal family, and some even disdain it. The one brought by Yong Lian is different. , which proves that Yong Lian treats them as brothers and friends, not to mention that it is easier to deal with children."

Mingyu half-knowledge, asked the queen again, but Rong Yin smiled and said nothing, let Mingyu live a simple and happy life like this, there is no need for Mingyu to know her scheming.

Seeing that the empress didn't answer her, Mingyu frowned and thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she gave up, looked up again, and followed her to nowhere.

"Your Majesty, this is not the way back to Changchun Palace." Mingyu looked around, fearing that she might be wrong.

"Well, I won't go back to Changchun Palace." Rong Yin walked forward with her head straight, not knowing where she was going.

"Then where are you going? Ma'am." Mingyu hurriedly followed the falling footsteps, wanting to cry without tears, Madam didn't tell herself what she was doing now.

"I'm going to the House of Internal Affairs to find something." Rong Yin recalled hearing melodious music at a palace banquet, which was played by Tang Ruowang, a Western missionary in the Kangxi Dynasty, and she was very envious of that music.

It's a pity that when she was in the boudoir, Western missionaries were only sent by the royal family, so she had no chance to learn.After becoming Hongli's wife, she was busy raising her husband and raising her children, and being a competent concubine and empress...

Now, his long-cherished wish can finally come true.

Thinking of the dust-covered musical instruments, Rong Yin's heart became more excited, and his pace quickened. When he arrived at the House of Internal Affairs, the chief eunuch who was guarding the treasury was shocked. The empress came to the House of Internal Affairs with only one maid .

Rong Yin didn't care about his disrespect and flustered, and pointed excitedly at the storeroom, "I heard that the musical instruments brought from the west when I heard that Lord Kangxi was here are all locked here, open it and clean it for me."

The eunuch laughed and got up from the ground, "Empress, you only need to say something if you want an instrument, and the servant will send someone to deliver it. Why bother you to come in person?"

Rong Yin waved his hand after hearing this, "You don't know which one I want?"

Just as they were talking, the eunuchs came out holding Western musical instruments one by one. Some of the musical instruments were covered with silk embroidered covers, some were packed in boxes, and some had nothing at all, and the silk strings fell early. Dusty.

Rong Yin happily looked over one by one, counting several musical instruments in his mind, and finally waved his hand, "Clean up all these musical instruments and move them to Changchun Palace."

"Your Majesty," Mingyu became anxious after hearing this, "Where are we going to put so many musical instruments?"

"Clean up the main hall and the west side hall." Rong Yin waved his hand indifferently, the huge Changchun Palace can't even fit these instruments?

"Yes, empress." Mingyu could only nod her head in agreement after hearing this.

Mingyu originally thought that she would go back to Changchun Palace after the order of the empress, but Rongyin was sitting in the house of internal affairs, watching the eunuchs and maids of the house of internal affairs cleaning the musical instruments one by one, and when the instruments were dried in the sun, she couldn't put it down. Touch it.

Until lunch time, Mingyu was so hungry that her stomach growled.

After approving the memorial, Hongli was very bored. It wasn't until Li Yu called for lunch that Hongli remembered something and asked the eunuch beside him, "Li Yu! Why didn't the queen come today?"

"Ah?" Li Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "The Empress has been waiving the concubine's greetings for two consecutive days, maybe she is not feeling well."

Hongli became anxious when he heard this, "The empress is not feeling well, did you tell the imperial physician? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Li Yu's face collapsed all of a sudden, he just said Xu Yes, the emperor had already walked out before he had finished slandering in his heart, so he had to trot to keep up.

Hongli was sitting on the sedan chair, restless all the way, the empress always valued the rules and etiquette, if it wasn't because she couldn't get up, she would basically wait to see the concubines to pay her respects.

When they arrived at Changchun Palace, the little maids inside were laughing and doing their errands. Hongli looked unhappy, and walked into the inner hall of the main hall of Changchun Palace, but there was not even a single person inside.

Hongli asked the palace man standing in front of him with a cold face, "Where's the queen?"

The palace man raised his head slightly, showing his pitiful and delicate face, and his tone was charming, "I would like to report to the emperor, Your Majesty has been very eccentric in the past two days, and she is very fond of Mingyu. Today, after sending the second elder brother to the study I didn’t come back to Changchun Palace.”

After listening to the slanderous words of the queen, Hongli saw Erqing, the eldest maid next to the queen, and asked again: "You said the queen sent the second elder brother to the Changchun Palace?"

"Yes," Erqing nodded, very sure.

The elder brother of the prince wanted to be raised by the elder brother, but the queen disregarded the rules of the ancestors and blatantly violated it. This was a good start for all the concubines.

Hongli's face became even more unkind, and he kicked Li Yu beside him, "Why don't you go find the queen soon?"

"Cha!" Li Yu walked out of Changchun Palace pitifully, clutching his legs.

Hongli was restless in Changchun Palace, when he came to Changchun Palace on weekdays, the queen was always waiting to serve him, when had he experienced the feeling that such people could not reach.

After more than an hour, the queen arrived late, followed by a long line of eunuchs and maids.
