Yongzheng period

After getting angry, he stood still tremblingly holding Zhuxi's hand, and said coldly to Daiyu who was kneeling respectfully, "You are a good daughter born by Lin Jiashi!"

Daiyu knew that He Jia had caused a disaster, so she quickly bowed her head and pleaded guilty, "The concubine is incapable of discipline."

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to make excuses, Yongzheng scolded angrily, "Look at you guys! He Jia! Tell me you know your mistake!"

As soon as Yongzheng finished speaking, He Jia burst into tears with a 'wow', and began to tell the story of the incident with sobs: It turned out that He Jia took Wen Yi to find Honghan to play, but when he passed by Changyin Pavilion, he ran into him alone for some reason. The fourth elder brother Hongli wandering around; the so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other, Hongli intends to 'discipline' He Jia a bit by virtue of his elder brother's identity--there are those scratches on Hongli's face when the words are not in harmony; At this time, the queen mother who was originally accompanied by the old fourteen was attracted by the noise, and the nobles from the other party also heard the noise - the matter snowballed and became bigger and bigger.

Having grown up with Jiaren Xiaogui, he was so wronged by what he said, his little face almost cried into a little tabby cat.Hong Han next to him was also very clever, he quickly pinched his thigh fiercely, forced out a few golden beans, and dragged Wen Yi to lower his head as a gesture of grievance.

Hearing He Jia's words, Yongzheng realized that none of the slaves kneeling around him were serving Hongli and He Jia, and He Jia sneaked out to play with Wen Yi and Hong Han, so it is understandable not to bring slaves , Ke Hongli——

Yongzheng's expression became serious, "Fourth brother, why did you come to the garden too? And you don't bring a single slave?"

"My son... my son is looking for inspiration for writing poems." The fourth elder brother faltered, fearing that Yongzheng would pursue it further, he silently remembered what He Jia had done, and took the initiative to admit his mistake in a low voice, "This is not the fifth sister's fault. Perhaps the son-in-law's words are meaningless, and the fifth younger sister will make a mistake, which disturbs the emperor's mama--the son-in-law failed to fulfill his elder brother's duty, and asked Huang Ama to punish him."

As soon as the fourth elder brother said this, everyone looked different, even Yongzheng was surprised, and even more suspicious of the reason why the fourth elder appeared here alone, but now is not a good time to investigate.Yongzheng glanced at everyone's expressions, and thought of making things trivial, he said, "Since that's the case, the fourth child should be confined for half a month, and go back to reflect on himself! It's the same with He Jia! Concubine Duan Gui and Concubine Hui were poorly disciplined and fined half a year's salary. As for the nobles— "

Xue Baochai froze when she heard the words, only to feel that Yongzheng's suspicious gaze was stabbing her like a knife—the conscience of heaven and earth!She really didn't do anything this time, and she was put together for no reason.

Yongzheng's tone was cold, "—Go back and copy the palace rules a hundred times."

"Yes—." Xue Baochai complied meekly, swallowing a mouthful of old blood in his heart, staring down at the fifth princess and Jia with more and more resentment.

He Jia is not ignorant, seeing the situation like this, he hurriedly said to the Queen Mother, "He Jia is also at fault, he should not contradict Huang Mama, please forgive He Jia, Huang Mama and Fourth Brother."

Seeing this, the old fourteen also helped to persuade the queen mother, saying repeatedly, "The fifth princess is still young, so why should Er Niang get angry because of a trivial matter? The children and grandchildren have made mistakes, so they just need to be disciplined."

The queen mother hated the house and the house, so she didn't like He Jia as much as she did Wen Yi. From the bottom of her heart, she never took this granddaughter seriously.The emperor cherished this daughter, and defended her in every possible way, even the old fourteen did not treat her dear mother, what else could she do?

It's just that she really can't afford to compete with a junior, because she was disturbed by this matter, and her original good mood became dull—the queen mother said coldly, "The emperor can deal with it as he wants, and the Ai family can't control it."

When everyone retreated, Daiyu was also extremely exhausted. Seeing the timid He Jia lose her temper, she said in a bad mood, "I hope you can learn your lesson this time, don't act recklessly."

He Jiawenyan's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward to act coquettishly, and muttered, "Who made them dare to criticize E Niang and speak ill of E Niang!"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions, Daiyu looked unhappy, and just about to say something, she saw Yongzheng hugging Hejia familiarly, coaxing her, "Hasn't Huang Ama punished them already? Be good and Jia Tell Ama, what do you think of your Empress Mama?"

Daiyu recalled the information about the Changchun Palace sent by the sticky pole a few days ago, and her heart tightened. Xiang Xiao and Jia glanced at the Fourteenth Uncle who was far away and wanted to see the flowers in the soil under his feet. He said honestly, "He Jia doesn't like her, and she has always disliked He Jia anyway."

"Hejia!" Daiyu corrected her dissatisfied, "That's your imperial mama."

"It doesn't matter," Yongzheng said in a low voice, with a flat expression and no emotion in his voice, "What do He Jia dislike the most about the Empress Dowager?"

"Your Majesty..." Daiyu frowned and stopped talking, Yongzheng had never called the Queen Mother like this before in public!Let alone in front of children?But Xiao Hejia couldn't understand her mother's complicated mood, only sensitively aware of the child's disliked by her grandmother, she leaned on Yongzheng's shoulder, curled her lips and said, "The way she looks at Hejia is not the same as when she looked at Hongjun. Same--"

He Jia was very wronged, and said in a muffled voice, "Huang Ama, can He Jia not like her?"

Coaxing Hejia to be carried away by Daiyu, Yongzheng squinted at the old Fourteen who pretended to be an ostrich, "Okay, don't pretend to me. Let me ask you, why did the empress call you into the palace?"

The old fourteen also looked very sad, "Emperor Niang wants to put a girl from the Wuya family's side branch as a side Fujin for my younger brother—"

"Oh?" Yongzheng sneered, sighing inexplicably, "The Queen's Mother is the Queen's Mother..."

——Then, I don’t have to hold back anymore.

【sixty】

Although it was noon, the city of Beijing at the end of February was still cold and windy. There were several branches of cold plum blossoms in the corner of the wall, and there was light snow in the sky, and the ice crystals swirled down.

The ground dragon in Jingyang Palace was very strong. Concubine Duan Gui had a bad health in her early years. Although she was well nursed back later, she inevitably suffered from chills.

The fourth elder brother was wearing a big black sparrow gold coat, a thin layer of frost had accumulated on the collar, Gao Wuyong followed behind him with an umbrella, the two of them felt a strange feeling as soon as they entered the gate of Jingyang Palace. A heat wave hit his face, and he broke out in a layer of sweat after a while.

Concubine Duan Gui was sleeping, and the incense cage was burning with calming incense. The clever little girl took over the outer coat with snowdrops on it and the umbrella with a bamboo handle. The fourth elder brother is here? Unfortunately, the empress has just fallen asleep, and now I'm afraid she has fallen into a deep sleep. "

The fourth elder brother was a little lost in thought, he responded in a low voice, then walked a few steps inward quickly, carefully and quietly lifted the curtain to see: Concubine Duan felt light and happy, and there was only a fair-faced woman sitting on the outer couch The big palace lady stood by and was killing time with Yingluo.

Tangli raised her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw the person coming, she hurriedly got up and saluted, but she didn't make a sound for fear of waking Concubine Duan.The fourth elder brother didn't care too much, Tangli was wearing a light pink satin flower dress today, with only a few palace flowers dotted on her head, making her look even more refreshing and lovely.Hongli saw her emerald green earrings hit her white and tender earlobe with the movement of bending over, and sometimes wrapped around a strand or two of hair, and felt more and more itchy in his heart, wishing to go forward and take good care of her.

When Tangli got up, she saw the fourth elder brother's eyes were burning, and she pouted at her rather narrowly, opening and closing her lips, mouthing every word, 'Okay-sister-sister. '

Tangli's cheeks blushed instantly, and she gave him a sideways glance, half-annoyed, and worried about the auspiciousness that was still waiting outside the curtain, so she just lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The auspicious eye contact between the two of them didn't see half of it. Hongli blocked the auspicious sight, then turned around very naturally and said in a low voice, "Aunt Jixiang, I may be with my mother for a long time. Since Erniang is asleep, I will just wait outside."

"This..." Jixiang was a little embarrassed.

Seeing the shaken look on Jixiang's face, Hongli said again, "Auntie, if you have any urgent matters, just go and get busy. I grew up in this Jingyang Palace, and it's not a place I'm not familiar with. Besides, if I have any Send, I will call those little maids."

The same is true for Ji Xiang after thinking about it, so he said with a smile, "The servant girl went to work outside, and there is nothing serious about it. It is nothing more than a few days ago, when the mother saw that the color of the window screen was getting old, she asked the servant girl to look for it in the warehouse——Brother If you have any orders, just call someone."

"My aunt is an old man with Erniang. Although these things are trivial, if you say you can understand Erniang's mind, you will really trouble your aunt." As Hongli said, he winked at Gao Wuyong and smiled, "Eniang After a long time in the palace, the storeroom must be messy with sundries, Gao Wuyong is quite clever and a trustworthy servant, so let him help a bunch, it's better than those who have no serious hands and feet."

Without waiting for Jixiang to answer, Gao Wuyong won the master's understanding, and hurriedly begged, "My aunt is experienced, so I pity the poor servant, and it would be good to learn from my aunt for a while-if the servant is a good fortune, I really deserve my aunt's help." Two points of ability will save the master from turning his back on the slave."

Hongli laughed and scolded him when he heard the words, "Which one hates you?" Jixiang saw his funny expression and pleasant words, and thought that the warehouse was not an important place, so he simply agreed and took him there for a while.

A long time after Jixiang left, Hongli sat on the table in the outer room boredly, staring at the magnolia flower six-petal pot on the table in a daze, until he heard the slight sound of bead curtains colliding next to his ears, and then he came back to his senses Come and look around.

But when Tangli came out with a basket of wreaths and tassels in his hand, and put them on the table gently, Hongli felt that the basket had been put in his heart.

Hongli chuckled and said, "You little girl with no winks, why don't you pour me a cup of tea when you see me sitting here? You are very thirsty."

Tangli is helpless, playful
