"Story of Yanxi Palace" White Moonlight

55 & Finale

In the Old Summer Palace, Taishang Huang Hongli walked out of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion with his hands behind his back, shaking his pale beard, and his aging and weakening body was wrapped in a birthday suit.

"Cong'er, is there a letter from the palace?" Hongli stopped and asked the elegant and handsome young man beside him.

The young man replied respectfully: "Huang Ama, Brother Huang said that everything is ready for the southern tour, and I'm waiting for you to go back."

"Okay," Hongli nodded in satisfaction, and then said with great regret: "Since your mother passed away, I have never visited the south. Thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime ago."

"Huang Ama misses her mother again." Yong Cong had a sad face, ever since his mother passed away, Huang Ama has always missed her, and coming to the Old Summer Palace is also thinking about others.

"The empress shouldn't die early!" Hongli sighed deeply. Now that he is old, he misses the empress more and more, but when he dreamed back at midnight, the empress never appeared in his dream.

"Huang Ama, don't be too sad, because worrying will hurt your body. Besides, Huang Erniang has a spirit in the sky, and I hope you live a long and safe life." Yong Cong persuaded. I don't have a deep impression, I only know from others that Er Niang is a perfect queen, a gentle woman.

The dazzling sunlight pierced through the dark clouds and projected onto Hongli's feet.Hongli lifted his feet and continued to walk forward, and said as he walked: "The emperor said that the reform of the Thirteen Banks is good. The last stop of this southern tour will be in Guangcheng."

"I would like to obey the holy order, so I will write back to the emperor." Yong Cong looked happy, and hurriedly agreed.He is extremely happy to be able to go to Guangcheng with Huang Ama to meet the secular world this time.

"No need," Hongli shook his head, reminding Yongcong: "Lao Qi, we will return to the palace tomorrow, and there is no need to rush at this time."

Yong Cong smiled embarrassedly, bowed and said, "It's my son who is being reckless."

Hongli laughed, patted Yongcong on the shoulder and said: "You are not yet a weak crown, and I will not force you too much, but I have to learn from your second brother in everything."

Yong Cong looked respectful and accepted his father's instruction.

On the second day, the Supreme Emperor got up and drove back to the palace, and the emperor led his ministers to welcome him.

"Your emperor welcomes the Supreme Father, and welcomes the emperor Ama back to the palace." The new emperor, who had been on the throne for half a year, led a group of ministers behind him to kneel down to welcome Hongli's car, with a mighty momentum.

Hongli's gaze was followed by the emperor and his ministers, who nodded with satisfaction.Although he gave way to the second elder brother, but when it comes to government affairs, he still says what he says.The only master of the Qing Dynasty is still him.

Yonglian is already a young man in his twenties. He has inherited Hongli's handsomeness and Rongyin's demeanor.

"Let's all be flat!" Hongli got out of the car and said, and the ministers around him, led by Yong Lian, hurriedly asked for their health.

Hongli only responded vaguely, and walked towards Juanqinzhai surrounded by more than a hundred children and grandchildren.When he arrived at Juanqinzhai, Hongli was a little tired, and said to Yonglian: "Ask Fu Heng to stay, and let the rest kneel down."

After Fu Heng received the words from his nephew, the emperor, he was a little puzzled.After he went in to salute, he was given a seat by Hongli, and even Yong Cong, who was waiting around him, was sent out.

"I don't know what is the important matter of the Supreme Emperor summoning his ministers." Fu Heng still had a calm and self-sufficient look, and the years had accumulated his elegance and depth.

Hongli's eyes lit up, he patted his palms with a folding fan, and said indifferently, "Fu Heng, have you met your sister?"

"What does the Supreme Emperor mean by this?" Fu Heng was at a loss, not knowing that the Supreme Emperor suddenly mentioned his sister who had been dead for many years.

"For so many years, the queen has never entered my dream, does she still hate me?" Hongli looked sad, as if he was asking Fu Heng, or talking to himself.

Fu Heng didn't know what Hongli meant, so he had no choice but to persuade him: "The Supreme Emperor is too worried about the matter of gods and ghosts. How does the world know that my sister respected and loved the Supreme Emperor the most during her lifetime."

Hongli turned his head, stared at Fu Heng with a pair of eyes that had experienced vicissitudes of life, and said leisurely: "She only respects me. In her eyes, I am the lord of the world and a monarch, not something she can rely on." Her husband. What the Queen loves most is herself, and what she loves the most is freedom. Otherwise..."

He paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Otherwise, how dare you leave the palace recklessly, leave behind the two young children, leave behind the parents' family, leave behind the honor of the empress, and abandon me!"

The last sentence was full of anger and infinite sorrow, and the tone of that resentment was no different from that of a woman complaining in a boudoir.

"Sister, she..." There was too much information in the Taishanghuang's words, and Fu Heng didn't react for a while.

"Back then, the body of the Empress Zi Palace disappeared mysteriously. I ordered the secret guards to track it down, but they were nowhere to be found. Afterwards, the officials in Shengjing sent a secret report and found someone who looked similar to the former Empress. I rushed to Shengjing overnight. , As a result, I saw with my own eyes that the queen was still alive. However, the queen turned into snow in front of me." Hongli was silent for a long time before he spoke to Fu Heng.

"Nothing was left for me."

"How is that possible?" Fu Heng muttered to himself, it was hard to believe that this bizarre thing happened to his sister, and it was hard to believe the news that her sister might still be alive.

"and after"

"I secretly sent people to look for it, but I found nothing for more than ten years." Hearing Fu Heng's inquiry, Hongli said frankly.

At first he didn't say anything to Fu Heng, because he thought it was the Fucha family who helped conceal the queen's whereabouts.After all, the Shengjing general Danlin's family is related to the Fucha family by marriage.But he had secretly monitored the members of the Fucha family for many years, and had never seen the queen.

This time it was Fu Heng's turn to keep silent for a long time, until Hongli sent him out, he was still contemplative, and even Yongcong responded blankly when he greeted him.

Inside Juanqin Zhai, Hongli stroked the throne with his hand, then closed his eyes and meditated.

Three days later, the Supreme Emperor and the Seventh Elder Brother, Yong Cong, who has now been named Prince Rong, toured the South.One of the moves was that the Taishang Emperor inspected the world on behalf of the Emperor, and benefited the world.The second is to relieve the worries of the Supreme Emperor, in order to make the Supreme Emperor Long Yan happy.

The last stop was Guangcheng. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs decided to set the palace in Fu's Mansion.The Fu Mansion has been expanded several times. Although the scale is small, its excellence is not comparable to that of the Fu Ya Post House in Guangcheng.

Rong Yin just went to another place, and when she came back, all the servants and maids in the palace had arranged the utensils in the mansion.Even when she was questioned by the guards when she returned home, it was her eldest brother Fu Rongwen who finally came out to relieve the siege.

Rong Yin ignored the elder brother's instructions, went straight back to the room, and sat in front of the diorama.She touched her familiar face, maybe it was fate, except for a pair of eyes, the appearance was very similar to before.

Sitting quietly in front of the mirror for a long time, Rong Yin breathed a sigh of relief. It has been more than ten years, and the rebirth of the soul has always been absurd, and Hongli would never think of it.

Rong Yin comforted herself like this, and couldn't help but wonder what Hongli has become now.But she was not in a hurry, since Hongli moved into Fu's residence, sooner or later he would have to meet the family members of the Fu family.

There was a knock on the door, Rong Yin adjusted his facial expression and let someone in.

"Miss, the west courtyard is prohibited from entering and leaving. The young lady said that she will keep Miss Xuan in your room for a while." The person who spoke was the very respectable maid in the sister-in-law's room, holding Xuan'er's shoulders under her hands.

"Okay," Rong Yin took Xuan'er's hand, agreed without hesitation, and said: "Send a wet nurse over, and the rest will be unnecessary."

The big servant girl nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, but Rong Yin called out before she could take a step, "The west courtyard is sealed, where do my brother and sister-in-law live?"

"The young master lives in the master's study." The maid answered briskly and left.

Rong Yin understood, there are not many beds in the study room, not to mention the bed boards there are very hard, even Xuan'er can't bear it.

"Xuan'er, what's the matter with you?" Rong Yin looked down, and Xuan'er was still pouting and drooping her head as before.

"Mother said Xuan'er was not good, so she beat Xuan'er."

"My dear Xuan'er, it doesn't hurt anymore." Rong Yin squatted down and took a closer look, her hands were really red, so she blew on Xuan'er's palm and coaxed her.

Rong Yin pointed to the west courtyard, which was only separated by a wall: "Now there is a very important uncle living there, so we can't disturb him."

"Why is it important?" Xuan'er opened her eyes wide.

"Without this uncle, Xuan'er would not be able to eat, would not grow up, and would not be able to ride the wind and snow." Rong Yin blinked and said seriously.

"Ah," Xuan'er covered her mouth, and said cautiously, "Then Xuan'er will stop arguing."

Rong Yin smiled knowingly, Xuan'er realized that Tian Tianchang's goal is to grow taller, so that he can ride the wind and snow, so now everything has to make way for growing taller.
