It was still a sunny day in July outside, but Luqi felt that the atmosphere in the room was so oppressive that it made one's teeth tremble.Yong Qi, who was sitting at the top, kept fiddling with the lid of the tea bowl. The sound of the friction between the lid and the mouth of the cup seemed to hit her chest directly, making her tremble unconsciously.

"Is what you said true?" Yong Qi's voice was as clear as usual, but Lu Qi could clearly hear the strong killing intent in it.

"Slaves don't dare to lie." She was sent by Yongqi to monitor Wanliuha side Fujin, so she dared to prevaricate her master with false news.This matter is of great importance, and now that Fujin is delicate and fleshy, if Wanliuha side Fujin does something outrageous, the lord is afraid that she will be punished for lax supervision, and her fate will be certain It's a thousand times worse than offending Wan Liuha Fang Fujin.

"Then do you know who contacted her?" He has already sent people to watch over the palace. Wanliu Hashi can still contact outsiders with the intention of murdering the pregnant Fujin. Could it be that there is something hidden in the palace? Extremely deep person?Yongqi can't rule out this possibility, the most important thing at the moment is to control Wanliu Hashi, and then cut off her channel of sympathy with outsiders.

"It's Mrs. Wanliuha." Luqi didn't dare to hide anything, so she said it directly, "Mrs. Wanliuha visited Fujin in the palace when Fujin went to greet the noble concubine and master. This was originally reported to Fujin At first, the servant didn't pay much attention to it. But after careful reflection, I realized that the hollow hairpin filled with medicinal powder was given by Mrs. Wanliuha to Xi Fujin, and I saw it with my own eyes."

Wan Liuha's family?Their family was just a member of the fifth grade with a red flag. Yongqi would not believe that Wanliuha's family had the guts to murder Fujin, and there must be others behind it.But looking at Wanliu Hashi's appearance, I'm afraid he hesitated for a long time, waiting for the children in Minning's womb to confirm that they were twins before really thinking of doing it.Yong Qi squinted her eyes and said, "You go back to Haosheng to monitor Wanliu Hashi first. Xiaoluzi will give you a pack of medicine powder and put it in her diet. Don't let her walk around so casually."

"Your maidservant knows." Luqi stuffed the medicine powder that Xiaoluzi handed over into her sleeve, and then carefully retreated from the original path.

"Prince?" Xiao Luzi has been with Yong Qi for so many years, and he can understand what his master wants to express with just one look from Yong Qi.

"Go and find out, who has Wanliuha's family been in close contact with recently?" Yong Qi said coldly, "Don't be alarmed at Fujin, she can't be too stimulated when she is pregnant with a child."

"Hey." Xiaoluzi said.

The Guarjia family lived in the palace with all their money, and began to work as a formal escort.Once born and twice acquainted, the days of waiting for delivery are passed very easily.Because Yongqi had already learned of Wanliu Hashi's conspiracy, the staff in the main courtyard had been instructed repeatedly, and the method of mutual supervision was adopted, so no one dared to do anything boldly.

"I heard that a side Fujin is sick, is it okay?" Guerjia said, "Do you want to move out?"

"It's just heatstroke, let her rest for a few days and she'll be fine." Minning scooped up a piece of apple, and the sweet and sour taste instantly satisfied all the senses. "Besides, her yard is far away from my place, and the prince doesn't allow her to walk around with her sick body. It's fine."

"You should be more or less careful. What if there is a collision?" Mrs. Guerjia glanced at Minning, who was a bit indifferent. If you continue to eat like this, you will suffer when you give birth."

Minning's belly was ridiculously big, so she was not asked to go to the Summer Palace this year for the summer vacation, for fear that she would bump into it accidentally while riding in a carriage.Naturally, Yongqi also stayed in the mansion, so Qianlong took a few new favorite nobles, the Empress Dowager Changzai, to go out, and those who were above concubines stayed in the Forbidden City.

During the conversation, Minning knew that his sister-in-law was diagnosed with pregnancy a few days ago, which made both E Bi and E Funing very happy.Her sixth uncle has also been promoted step by step since he stayed in Beijing. In just a few years, he was promoted to the right capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, on an equal footing with Amariyang of the Suo Chuo Luo family.Minning took a sip of the cool drink, and then said: "Seeing that Suo Chuoluo has become more behaved, and her Ama has gradually kept a low profile, it finally made me and the prince feel at ease."

"People always retreat when they know it's difficult. What good will there be if you stick your neck against the wife of the wife? If she doesn't learn to be good, she will lose her position as a side Fujin sooner or later." Mrs. Guarjia took a sip of sour plum juice, Slowly and authentically.

"What Er Niang said is true, but this human heart is sometimes difficult to satisfy." Minning sighed, "Fortunately, the prince treats me very well, no matter how hard those people jump around, it will be a waste of effort."

At this moment, Shan Shan hurried in and whispered a few words in Minning's ear.Minning's face changed slightly, but he soon returned to normal, and said: "Since the prince wants to make a move, then I won't be able to go there, you continue to inquire about the news."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Minning's expression changed, Guerjia asked.

"Something happened in the mansion again, the lord has brought people to deal with it, the specifics are not clear yet, I will ask when the lord comes back tonight." Yong Qi suddenly took people to Wanliuha's place By the side, he looked menacing, could it be that Wanliu Hashi did something stupid?Minning didn't know the general situation, so he could only let Coral continue to inquire.

Wanliu Hashi lay on the ground with messy black hair, and Yongqi played with the rose flower hairpin in her hand.She was only wearing her underwear, dizzy and dazed, she didn't know who leaked the secret and made Yong Qi mobilize the crowd like this.Looking at the lines on the floor tiles, she knew that she would definitely not make it through this time.

"Safflower powder is mixed with musk, you are very thoughtful." Yong Qi leaned forward, and the sharp end of the hairpin lifted Wan Liuha's face, leaving a red mark on her face, "Master thought Promoting you as a side Fujin is also a reward for your self-discipline over the years. I never thought that it would give you the idea of ​​competing with Fujin. You said that if Huang Ama knew about this, you would murder Fujin and the emperor's heir. How to deal with you, Wanliuha clan?"

"My lord, this matter is due to my concubine's obsession, and has nothing to do with my natal family!" Wan Liuhashi ignored the stinging pain on his face, and hurriedly grabbed Yong Qi's feet to plead for mercy.

"Why don't you ignore the affairs of Wanliuha's family? Didn't your mother bring this hairpin to you?" Yong Qi kicked her away, "If you have such a thought, why don't you have the guts to confess your sins?" ? Fujin has treated you well all these years, but you cooperated with the Samara family and wanted to kill Fujin and the child in her womb, this is how you repay Fujin's kindness!"

"She's kind, she's just doing it for the world to see!" Wan Liuha coughed a few times before laughing sarcastically, "Show off her virtuousness and make everyone think how virtuous she is." , In fact, we women are not pushed aside! The concubine is also a woman of the master, why doesn't the master look at me? The master knows how the concubine spent the long nights of these years alone What! Even if she is pregnant with a child but still dominates the master, shouldn't such a hypocritical person deserve to die!" When it came to the end, it seemed like a broken jar.

"I think you are crazy. If you think Fujin made you fall out of favor, then I will tell you clearly." Yong Qi said viciously, "I never intended to favor you from the beginning. If you are willing to be obedient, Lord can also let you sit on the side of Fujin all the time, after all, you only have so much use. I didn't expect you to know what is good or bad, so I don't have to be polite. Xiaoluzi, seal up this yard immediately from today, except Other than the two nuns, no one else is allowed to serve her. The Lord will ask for an order tomorrow, Wanliu Hashi is plotting to abolish the side Fujin's position."

Knowing that Yongqi was going to put her under house arrest until death, Wan Liuhashi sat on the ground as if she had lost her soul.Lu Qi followed Yong Qi out of the door and looked back, seeing Wan Liu Ha's eyes were empty and slowly shedding a string of tears, she couldn't help sighing.

The gate of the yard was slowly closed, and the big copper lock fell down, blocking the last bit of afterglow.

Although Wanliu Hashi's matter was ordered to be silent, those people didn't say it publicly, but secretly discussed it behind their backs. The general meaning was that Wanliu Hashi did it to himself.Qianlong's decree came down soon, abolishing Wanliuha's side Fujin's position, and removing his name from the jade certificate; Wanliuha's family was accused of being lax in teaching daughters, and Mrs. Wanliuha intended to murder Prince Fujin and was imprisoned awaiting judgment .

After hearing the news, Mrs. Guarjia couldn't help chanting "Amitabha" a few times, and then said to Minning: "It's a good thing that this matter was discovered early, otherwise..."

Minning was also listless, she thought she was not kind to Wanliu Hashi, but she didn't expect her kindness to be treated like a dog's lung.She sighed: "Perhaps the human heart is not enough, and I have nothing to say."

"Don't act like this, it's just that she is uneasy and well-intentioned." Guerjia said, "Now the prince puts her under house arrest, and making her life worse than death is the best punishment for her."

Wanliu Hashi survived, but the Samala family was not so lucky.It doesn't matter whether you are the nanny trusted by Empress Xiaoxian in the past, you will die if you dare to murder the royal heir.Thinking that Ama, the daughter-in-law who was almost victimized this time, was O Bi, who also served as the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Qianlong waved his hand and asked O Bi to figure it out by himself, and just draw up a charter for him to review.O Bi used to be a servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he was able to do this easily. He detained the members of the Samala family one by one in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The process was smooth and smooth.

After all the confessions of the Samara family were handed in, the verdict came out soon.Because the time of beheading this autumn was exactly when Minning was about to give birth, in order to avoid bloodshed, all the members of the Samala family were put in the prison and waited to be beheaded next autumn.Mrs. Wan Liuha was not so lucky to escape, a white silk took her life.

At the end of October, Qianlong returned to the palace with the new conferment of Chen Tinglun's daughter, Chen Tinglun, as Ming Changzai and all the concubines.At this time, Minning was already in the delivery room. After a whole day of pain, she finally gave birth to a pair of twins, the second elder brother and the third elder brother of Prince Rong's mansion.

Chapter 066 Secret

The two freshly baked buns were actually not as heavy as when Mian Rui was born. Minning's belly looked big when she was pregnant, but after being divided into two little buns, it didn't seem so heavy.The wet nurses and nurses sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were supervised by E Bi himself, so Minning was assured of letting them take care of the two children.The rewards of Qianlong, the Empress Dowager and others also arrived, and they were all managed by Suo Chuo Luo's cooperation. I heard from Madam He that this time, Suo Chuo Luo's family seemed calm and calm, and took care of everything quickly.

The Guerjia family didn't return to the mansion with the money until Minning was confinement and the two little buns were full moon.Min Ning was wearing a flag dress with engraved silk mud gold and silver Ruyi cloud pattern, holding a teacup and talking to Lan Hui.Lan Hui and Yong Rong's son was named Mian Cong, which was chosen by Qianlong himself.

"It's said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions. Look at you looking radiant after giving birth to your little ones." Lan Hui brought Mian Cong across the house, and put them at Mian Rui's place for the two cousins ​​to play with.

"It's just a good nourishment during the confinement period." The tonic soup is changed every day, and this alone is enough.Fortunately, her body recovered quickly after giving birth, and she was also feeding the two children, so they were not plump, but gradually showed the charm of a mature woman.

"Your place is peaceful now. Ms. Zhao in my place is just pregnant, and she is going to be happy again." Mrs. Zhao's pregnancy was diagnosed when Minning was in confinement.Lan Hui is also upset by seeing the people in the house now, so she runs to Minning's place whenever she has free time. After all, the two have known each other for so long, it would be nice if someone could accompany them to talk about what is on their minds. "You didn't know that you were still in confinement before. The Zhao family is precious now. They often say that their stomach is uncomfortable and they want to call the master over. The women in the house have told me several times."

"Sixth brother will allow her to fight for favor because of her pregnancy?" Minning said.

"It's Lord Belle's second child, so we should pay more attention to it." Lan Hui took a sip of hot tea, "I'm going to ask the queen mother to send an imperial doctor to take care of Mrs. Zhao's baby. She isn't I keep clamoring about whether I feel uncomfortable here or there, I feel relieved to have an imperial doctor sitting in the mansion, and Lord Baylor is also relieved."

"Isn't this very good, and it can give her a good pregnancy." Minning smiled knowingly.There is an imperial doctor sitting in the mansion, if Mrs. Zhao dares to make fun of the child in her stomach, Yong Rong will be the first to let her go.Lan Hui looked gentle, after all, she was also a girl from the Fucha family, so she couldn't see through these little tricks.

On New Year's Eve, Minning took Mian Rui into the palace.The two little buns are still small, and the queen mother also said that there is no need to rush to bring them in, she is also willing to save the two little buns from freezing.Mian Rui and his Ama were wearing the same color and style of clothes, but one was handsome and the other was chubby. They looked simple and cute, and they captured the hearts of those childless concubines in the harem with one stroke.

"Look at the little elder brother of Prince Rong's family, he is so cute." Concubine Xin handed Mian Rui a jade pendant, and then said to Minning with a smile, "He is obedient and polite. After all, it is Fujin who teaches well."

"Concubine Xin has won the prize. Don't look at his cute appearance, but he is very wild at home." Minning replied with a smile, but his eyes caught the scene where Qianlong came in with the fifteenth elder brother.

Fifteen elder brother Yongyan has been in school for more than half a year. I heard that his homework has always been good. Although he is not as smart as Yongqi when he was a child, his talent is also unlimited. Recently, what Qianlong likes most is to praise his son in front of the ministers. .Perhaps it was just a trade-off played by the emperor, but Yong Yan was the real successor emperor in history after all, even if Ling concubine is not as high as the imperial concubine in history, one should not underestimate Concubine Qing's ambition.

Concubine Qing is a woman of the Han Army Banner, so she is of a higher background than Lingfei.Although the concubine Ling is Yongyan's biological mother, the kindness of giving birth is not as great as the kindness of nurturing. In terms of deep affection and closeness, the mother-child relationship between Concubine Qing and Yongyan is even deeper.Seeing Qianlong doting on Yongyan more and more, no less than how he treated Prince Rong before, the little Jiujiu in Concubine Qing's heart is ready to move.

"Your Majesty likes elder brother fifteen more and more these days." Concubine Xin glanced at the expression on Minning's face, seeing that her expression hadn't changed, she could only sigh that Prince Rong and Fujin would restrain their expressions, " Even Concubine Qing and Concubine Ling are more proud in the palace, and these days are getting more and more sad."

"The fifteenth brother is Huang Ama's son, so it is conceivable that Huang Ama loves him a little bit." When the emperor came, Min Ning couldn't chat anymore, so he took Mian Rui back to his table.

"Seeing that you are talking enthusiastically with Concubine Xin, what are you talking about?" Lan Hui took Mian Cong to eat snacks, and asked after Minning came back.

"It's just chatting." Minning asked someone to bring a cup of hot goat's milk to Mian Rui, "I heard from Concubine Xin that the fifteenth brother has been favored very much recently, and even his biological mother and adoptive mother have become more and more popular."

"At present, only the fifteenth brother in the palace is studying in the study room. Who else can Huang Ama love if he doesn't love him?" The sixteenth elder brother's biological mother, Kang Guiren, has been ill since the miscarriage, and Concubine Yu is not favored. Naturally, he seldom showed up in front of Qianlong; Elder Seventeen was only less than one year old, let alone. "According to me, we can't guess what Huang Ama is thinking, maybe it's just an illusion."

To put it bluntly, it's just a trade-off, she understands.Minning looked at Concubine Qing and Concubine Ling who were trembling with laughter, and silently took a sip of rose honey.

The step-shaking golden hairpin with double luan holding longevity fruit and the golden chamber with inverted lotus hairpin make the black hair more black and shiny, and the rose and purple flag dress made of Shu brocade with Ruyi pattern slightly narrows the waist, showing the slender waist and body of the woman. The quantity is wonderful.Slender and charming phoenix eyes, under the tall and small nose is a pair of lips painted with bright red makeup, and the well-maintained white hands are holding a cup of tea, and handing it to the master of this dynasty sitting at the head.

"This is the top-quality snow top with emerald greens, the tea is good, and the tea maker's craftsmanship is even better." Qianlong said as he took a sip.

"After all, it's a rare tribute tea. It's only three or two catties a year, so it's good." Concubine Qing brought a few plates of dim sum. It tastes great."

Qianlong looked at the charming and beautiful woman in front of him, and vaguely remembered that she entered the palace in the 13th year of Qianlong, and she was only 15 years old at that time.In the blink of an eye, 18 years have passed, and the gentle and restrained woman in the past has grown into the ambitious demeanor she is now.He twisted a piece of pastry into his mouth.It's mung bean cake, not too sweet. It seems that she still remembers that he doesn't like sweets, so she took the handkerchief handed over by Concubine Qing and wiped her hands, then said: "The things here are all good, they look better than those in the Palace of Mental Cultivation." much better."

Concubine Qing didn't know what Qianlong's words meant. In fact, she had never figured out the man's mind in front of her for so many years.So he lowered his eyes slightly and said softly: "It's just something sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"It's been 13 years since you entered the palace in 15 years." Qianlong began to recall that year, "When I saw you for the first time, you were wearing clothes made of honey wax and yellow broken branches of peonies, with a pair of double-stalked begonias on your hair. Bu Yao, I will never forget that look. You are gentle by nature, so I can rest assured that I will entrust Yongyan to your upbringing."

Concubine Qing was about to reply, but Qianlong stopped her with a wave.

"But I never imagined that you, who were gentle and uncompetitive in the past, would one day cooperate with your concubine Ling." Qianlong stared coldly at Concubine Qing, "Push that side Fujin in Yongqi's mansion who prescribes medicine. It was you who did it, it’s in vain that the Sama La’s family bet their entire family on you, wanting to bet on Yongyan, expecting to turn around and enjoy glory again, but you don’t want to turn around and you just cut them off like abandoned children. It’s not that they didn’t dare to die like this, I didn’t even know you were so ‘mother-hearted’!”

"Your Majesty, my concubine has never done such a thing!" Concubine Qing quickly knelt down.Although she was terrified in her heart, she did not dare to reveal the slightest bit of guilt on her face.She had ordered her father to deal with the person who was in contact with the Samara's family. Based on the words of the Samara's family alone, the emperor would never punish her just like this.

Concubine Qing had guessed well, Qianlong did not have conclusive evidence, but it did not prevent him from feeling estranged.That's all for concubine Ling, although she has been doting on him for so many years, she gave birth to two daughters and one son to him, but in the end she is a spoiled concubine who is arrogant and unclear; Concubine Qing, he thought she had a good temper, and was going to wait for Yongyan When he was a little older, he was recorded in her name, but now that I think about it, it's a good thing I didn't do that.For the sake of her adopted son, who is only six or seven years old, she has already started to think hard about dealing with Yong Qi's wife and children. If they are really allowed to become mother and son, the lives of the brothers in the royal family may be in danger.

"Have you ever done it? You know in your heart that I love Yongyan just because he is young." Qianlong stood up and looked at Concubine Qing who was kneeling on the ground, "Yongyan was born to you by my order. You can also make a decree that you will never see each other. Don’t think that you can be unscrupulous because you have contributed to raising Yongyan, my throne cannot be coveted by you harem women!"

Concubine Qing collapsed on the ground, Qianlong's murderous words echoed in her ears: "If you want to take the throne for Yongyan, you are not afraid that I will kill the Lu family in one fell swoop? Your concubine is given by me, so I will naturally You have the right to take it back. Your glory and wealth are tied to me, not Yongyan, let alone Lingbi's declining natal family. Although I don't kill my son, it's okay to imprison a prince!"

The next day, it was reported that Concubine Qing was ill in bed because of the cold.Although Yongyan intends to visit, but Qianlong seems to be strict with him all of a sudden, the daily homework is always too much to finish, and there seems to be something wrong with the concubine, Yongyan often goes to Yanxi Palace Palace, so there is no time to greet Concubine Qing.

After hearing this, Concubine Qing just waved her hands slightly, looking at all the changed servants in Chuxiu Palace, she wanted to cry, but no tears came out of her eyes.
