Yongzheng period

Elder brother, Sanbeile has the title of eldest son at any rate, so he doesn’t have to worry about making a living; fifth elder brother has a bad family background, and also has a bad nature, so he has a bad reputation in the emperor’s heart; The name of the prince, and so on, she naturally had to do her best to plan for the fifth elder brother. "

Zijuan said, "The emperor was so angry that he couldn't hold back the fifth elder brother. He promised that if he gave birth to the eldest son, he would be raised as the eldest son. A few days ago, the emperor was worried about his master's health, and he warned the sixth palace not to disturb the master with these things. .”

Daiyu was stunned, annoyed and funny, and said tenderly, "The emperor always thinks so much, am I a careless temper?" Then she sighed again, "Although everyone says the fifth elder brother is not good enough, the fifth elder brother is Blessed."

As usual, there is no incense burning in the Kunning Palace. There is a flower bonsai next to the ocher flower throne in glaze, and the cold fragrance is overflowing.

After a while, Daiyu asked Zijuan softly, "Can I send the Longevity Centennial Golden Lock and that jade Ruyi to Yongshou Palace?"

"After the Ministry of Internal Affairs was finished, the maidservant took it in person and delivered it early." Zijuan comforted, "The maidservant sees that Elder Brother Shi is more energetic, so the master doesn't need to worry every day."

"That's good," Daiyu's expression relaxed, and she said pitifully, "Second sister has to take care of He An and Xiao Shi at the same time, it's really tiring for her, and I'm too honored to dote on her. On the contrary, it only adds to the disturbance."

She didn't say anything to Zicuckoo, but looked at the Liufu window grilles on the window, and murmured, "When will this snow come to an end?"

The sky was gloomy, and everything that came into view was empty white. Hongli came out of Jingyang Palace with a solemn expression, and saw the third elder brother Hongshi carefully supporting the pregnant Sanfujin.

Hongli's eyes flickered slightly, and he greeted him personally, "My younger brother has seen the third brother and the third sister-in-law."

Hiroshi was not very happy to see him, he had a strange smile that was not a smile.On the contrary, Sanfujin Ulanara nodded to him, her face was peaceful and showed a little satisfaction. Since the fourth elder brother got married, the third elder brother seemed to have opened up to get close to her. Also come back in defeat.Now that she is pregnant again, it can be regarded as the end of the hard time.

Today, Hongli only wore ordinary clothes to visit his mother, but Hongshi wore court clothes.

The heavy snow in the cold spring is really annoying, he let out a light breath, and a layer of white mist immediately filled his eyes, and the cool and cold breath went straight down the throat and entered the viscera.

Hong Shi put on the airs of the elder brother and asked, "Is the imperial concubine feeling better?"

Hongli's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he said casually, "Although the imperial hospital is incapable of returning to heaven, my younger brother has set up a list among the people to look for famous doctors. Presumably, he will be able to find a medical expert to diagnose and treat Er Niang."

Hongshi snorted inwardly, but his face was filled with relief. He stretched out his hand and patted the fourth brother's shoulder caringly, and said in a warm voice, "Don't worry, the imperial concubine is blessed, and the fourth brother is pure and filial." People, you can turn the crisis into safety. The fourth brother is in trouble, and the elder brother should share the adversity. If there is any elder brother who can help, just ask."

Hongli looked tired, and said with a wry smile, "Third brother, to tell the truth, my younger brother has only felt helpless since his illness, and he has lost his mind to take care of his errands. .”

"Oh?!" Hongshi was almost elated, he sighed, and said hypocritically, "Actually, the errands are not very important, the most important thing is not to be like the third brother—" Hongshi sighed, "The tree desires There is stillness but the wind does not stop, the child wants to support but the relative is not there."

Thinking of Concubine Qi who died so early, the two brothers couldn't help being speechless for a while.

Ulanara gave Hongshi a gentle push, and said angrily, "Why are you talking about Er Niang? With the care of my fourth younger brother, the imperial concubine will be fine."

"Borrowing my sister-in-law's good words," Hongli said politely, with a little hesitation on his face, he said hesitantly, "I do have one thing I want my brother to help me with."

"Fourth brother, you don't need to be polite, you and I should be brothers." Hong Shi said casually, "If you have anything to do, just tell the third brother." At this point, the third brother glanced at Fujin's pregnant belly, and couldn't help it He lived proudly, and said without shame, "Even if the third brother can't do it, recently he has the audacity to enter the palace to accompany Huang Ama all the time - the third brother can also intercede for the fourth younger brother in front of Huang Ama."

"Then I will thank the third brother first," Hongli said softly, seeing the happy face of the third brother, and the grateful smile on his face became more and more sincere. When he was seriously ill, he was cured by a master with superb medical skills."

Speaking of this, Hongli frowned in embarrassment, "It's just that the master heard that he was a disciple of the Ulanara family...brother, it's hard to say that."

"This..." Hongshi hesitated, "Huang Ama has always been honest with these monks and priests... If Huang Ama is upset—"

"My younger brother just wants to show my filial piety." The fourth elder brother's tone added a hint of inducement, "If Huang Ama is angered for nothing, I will naturally bear the responsibility."

Hongli looked at Hongshi's slightly relieved expression, and added the last fire, "Besides, the Qing Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. I am so heartless, and Huang Ama may not blame it."

Hearing Hongli's last words, Hongshi's heart moved, and his thoughts suddenly came alive: If he took the initiative to talk to Huang Ama, it would naturally make him love his brothers and respect his concubine.

He hurriedly said to Hongli, "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will leave this matter to the third brother." Hongshi pretended to stomp his feet, shaking off the thin snow on the shoe, and said impatiently, " The third brother is still in a hurry to pay respects to Huang Ama, so I won't talk to the fourth brother."

"It's natural, how can I let Huang Ama stay for a long time." Hongli smiled gently, and he turned sideways to look at the back of the third elder brother who was hurrying, and the expression on his face became gloomy and cold in vain.

Finally, he turned around and stared deeply at the Jingyang Palace in the hazy snow scene, with mixed feelings in his heart.Then he took the Pingjin hand stove from the attendant and put it in his sleeve, and said coldly, "Let's go, go back home."

When the spring peaches are slowly blooming, the spring swallows come to build their nests again.As soon as the willow silk is cut, the spring breeze is also entangled with heat. The ingenious court lady picked peach blossom petals for flower makeup.There is a good story between the emperor and the empress. The emperor once painted flower tins for the middle palace, and the concubines of the six palaces all followed suit.

The scenery of the imperial garden is still the same, and the willows beside the Taiye Pool are more green and soft.

The third elder brother recommended medical masters to the palace for diagnosis and treatment for the noble concubine, and the whole palace praised him for his reputation of filial piety; in contrast, the fifth elder brother, who had never visited the imperial concubine since she fell ill, seemed to be refusing to grant marriage The decree fell into the eyes of the courtiers and the emperor overnight, and he is now an intern in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It's just that the fifth elder brother flaunts a pure minister, and his behavior style disappointed the ministers who wanted to make money.

Daiyu sits lazily in the soft sedan chair, only holding Chunxian's hand to enjoy the flowers and scenery all the way, but elder brothers and princesses are in school at this time, and they can only go back to the palace after school.The surface of the water rippled with sparkling light, which shattered into halos, making it dazzling.Along the way, there are apricot trees protruding from the branches, and the flowers are blooming like clouds. When the concubines and concubines who are traveling together see her, they all squat down to give blessings. Daiyu smiled and ordered them one by one without stopping.

Chunxian smiled and said, "The drizzle has never stopped in the past few days, it's rare that the sun came out today."

Daiyu looked sideways, walked slowly to the Fubiting Pavilion, and leaned on the railing to look into the distance.Occasionally, a cool breeze blows, blowing down the branches of the acacia, which is full of feathers. Its crown is open, the shade is quiet, the velvet flowers are colorful, colorful and fragrant, and the petals fall lightly, as thin as the dense mist.

Satisfied in her heart, she felt it for a while, and murmured, "Yu Shun went on a tour to the south and never returned, and the second concubine swore Jiang Mei to death."

As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, she heard a soft female voice from the green shade of the corridor, "Your Majesty also likes Wei Sheng's words?"

Zhen Huan and Huanbi approached with a smile. She was dressed in a delicate palace attire, and she combed her curly hair, revealing her full and generous forehead.There is a saying in Xiangjing: either plump and full, or smooth and wide, this is a "noble man".

Zhen Huan stretched out her hand to pick up three or five petals and placed them in her palms, and there was a vague and elegant fragrance on the lines of her palms. She whispered, "It is said that Yu Shun died on a tour of Cangwu in the south, and his concubine Ehuang and Nvying are everywhere. I searched for the Xiangjiang River, but I couldn't find it. The second concubine wept all day long, her tears dripped with blood, and she died after the blood was exhausted, chasing her as her god."

Afterwards, he bowed his knees and made a blessing ceremony, smiling at Yan Yan with surprise on his face, "My concubine pays her respects to the empress, the leaves of the acacia tree, which bloom day and night, are the most loyal and unswerving. It turns out that the concubine is also the concubine's bosom friend."

Zhen Huan wears a gold-plated silver inlaid obsidian dragonfly and insect head on her temples, surrounded by silver magpie pearl flowers, red gold pearl pendants on her ears, and a hairpin ring and bead pendant at the end, which is full of jewels; Huanbi's body is made of floating brocade She was dressed in cherry-colored clothes, with blue and emerald rice beads and silver flowers on her head, and a pair of broken jade and gold earrings. Her eyebrows and eyes were three points similar to Zhen Huan's, and only a fine scar on her forehead made her four points of delicate and pretty. It was ruined to a point of ferocity.

"Your Majesty, get up." Daiyu couldn't help pursing her lips and grinning when she heard the word "confidant", "High mountains and flowing water, a bad time is like a dream. My palace only likes 'Even if the king is light-colored, why should he seize power? How can he give a painter?'" She laughed. , "There are neither high mountains nor flowing water, so what is a 'confidant'!"

Zhen Huan acted as if she hadn't heard of it, she leaned on her temples and smiled lightly, "Your Majesty's self-effacing is not bole, and concubines are not talented, but I want to imitate Zhong Ziqi."

"So, it's just an unlucky time for me to come here." Daiyu looked deeply at the slanted eyes of the nobleman, and said indifferently, "As the saying goes, people are better than Huajiao. If I knew that the nobleman was here, I shouldn't have come. .”

Zhen Huan didn't understand what he meant, so she paused for a while and said, "Your Majesty's words make my concubine confused."

"If you want to come, all the people will come, or if you don't come, no one will come. You come today, and I will come tomorrow, so the time is staggered.
