The Dream of the Red Chamber of Huanzhu is not a dream

When Qianlong's imperial edict was issued, it was the Queen Mother who opposed it first.

The Empress Dowager valued Yong Qi the most, and she hoped that he could inherit the throne. Now such a marriage proposal can almost be said to have broken Yong Qi's arm, how could the Empress Dowager not be in a hurry?Besides, the Queen Mother didn't like Little Swallow, a wild girl whose identity was unknown, but because of Xia Yuhe's indiscreet woman, she became a princess, so the Queen Mother didn't bother to pay attention to her at all. There is no shortage of a house or a meal.

But now, this wild girl has abducted her most beloved son, how could the Queen Mother be willing?

The Empress Dowager insisted on pointing out Yong Qi to a lady of great family, preferably with a strong father and real power, but her intentions, in Yong Qi's eyes, turned into an unkind, intolerant, and unkind mandarin duck the behavior of.

The empress dowager became sick with Yong Qi's accusing eyes and her tone of reproach.Could not get up for many days.

But even so, Yong Qi only came to visit twice in a perfunctory manner, but more thoughts were put on searching for novelty gadgets and food for Little Swallow, as well as his Baylor Mansion, which should be built tomorrow. , he couldn't wait to marry Little Swallow soon.

The Empress Dowager's heart gradually became cold. Seeing Yongqi gradually becoming a stranger that she couldn't tell, it was as if she was fascinated. Except for the little Yanzi, she could no longer see anyone in her eyes. She was no longer filial, and even more It's as if he doesn't even have a brain.

The Queen Mother is unwilling, so she can only admit that this grandson is probably useless.Especially seeing how crazy he is for that little swallow, the queen mother is not sure if he really inherits the throne in the future, will she, the queen mother, be thrown aside for the sake of little swallow's favor.

The Empress Dowager felt a little regretful, why did she single-mindedly choose Yongqi at the beginning, and even in order to let him have more opportunities to perform in front of Qianlong, she even suppressed and neglected other elder brothers openly and secretly, so that now, she Even if he wanted to abandon Yong Qi and choose another person to support, he couldn't believe that the other party could cooperate with her without any grievances.

The queen mother became very worried and fell ill.

The empress was extremely filial, and she was attentive and considerate in serving the sick. Qianlong, who used to regard himself as a filial son, also praised him very much, and respected the empress even more.

But there is a shadow slowly spreading in the queen mother's heart.

With this illness of the Empress Dowager, the hale and hearty spirit in the past is actually a bit weak.When people get old, especially when they are hurt by their favorite grandson, they will look back on the past more and more involuntarily, whether they like to think about it or don't like to remember it.

The queen mother's life was not bright and aboveboard.After becoming the Empress Dowager, she regarded herself as an "Lafayette", served the Buddha and believed in the Buddha, maybe she wanted to seek some peace of mind.

However, with the Queen's day and night service and Yong Cong's greetings every day, the Queen Mother inevitably thought of Yong Lian who died young, that extremely intelligent child who was secretly established early because of her acquiescence and even fueling the flames. lead to premature death.The Empress Dowager can no longer remember Yong Lian's appearance.But under the empress's pretended concern and filial piety, the empress dowager always sees a pair of children's eyes of despair and hatred in her dreams, which are clear and terrifying.

The queen mother's spirit became more and more haggard, and she couldn't help wondering if the queen had tampered with it, maybe it was because of taking medicine, or maybe it was something else.

However, her doubts could not be expressed at all.Due to various reasons, even if the empress dowager and empress had a rift in their hearts, they still presented a scene of harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law living in peace with each other. No one could see the undercurrent between them.There is no reason for the queen mother to doubt the queen—unless she is willing to tell about Yong Lian, everyone will think that she is sick and confused, otherwise how can they suspect that such a good queen will harm her?

The suspect who stole the ax looks more and more like him.

What's more, the queen is simply misleading the queen mother.From an angle where no one could see, the queen would occasionally show a smile of unknown meaning, and the cold light in her eyes made the suspicion in the queen mother's heart even heavier.

"Bang——" the Empress Dowager dropped the medicine bowl brought by the Queen again, and the medicine juice splashed all over the Queen's body. Fortunately, the medicine juice had already been adjusted to a suitable temperature for the entrance, so that it would not cause burns.

The maids rushed forward to help the empress wipe it, the empress signaled that it was okay, waved everyone away, approached the empress dowager, her eyes were slightly red, but she still gently comforted the empress dowager and said: "Lafayette is unhappy, and the concubine also feels the same. Speaking of it, Yongqi He was raised by the concubine when he was young, and he has become like this now, and the concubine is also responsible. If the Lafayette is unhappy, he will come to the concubine, but don't hold it in your heart and make yourself sick, please It’s better to take care of the Eucharist. I believe that Yong Qi was just confused for a while, when he gets older, he will always understand the truth, and he will naturally change his mind at that time.”

"What does that unfilial son's behavior have to do with the queen?" Qianlong came from outside the door, obviously hearing what the queen said.

After Qianlong entered the door, he was slightly startled when he saw the medicinal juice stains on the queen's body, and seeing the reddish eye sockets of the queen, his eyes couldn't help softening, he shook the queen's hand quietly, and said softly: "I have wronged you."

The queen shook her head slightly, and said: "The concubine accidentally knocked over the medicine of the Lafayette, and the concubine asked someone to bring another bowl. The emperor should also be filial, why not serve the Lafayette to drink the medicine himself."

Qianlong nodded: "It should be so."

What the queen said was completely pointing the finger at Yong Qi, and even the anger that the queen mother threw at her turned into anger, and the queen mother could not even refute.The Queen's behavior at least ensured that others would not have any doubts because of the Queen Mother's strange attitude towards her.As for saying that she didn't teach Yong Qi well?That was a very forced statement.It is true that she is the aunt, but Yong Qi is not close to her. Thanks to Yong Qi's high-profile style, this is not a secret at all. If he is really responsible, it should be his biological mother, Concubine Yu, but Concubine Yu also Very wronged, because Yong Qi's pro-ling concubine is better than Concubine Yu.

If Qianlong really wanted to pursue the responsibility of his upbringing, he would inevitably think of Concubine Ling.If he used to think that it was a good thing for Yongqi and Concubine Ling to be close, but now he is afraid that he has to think too much. Once people think too much, they will inevitably think of bad things.

The queen raised her lips slightly behind her. Although Yong Qi fell out of favor much earlier than planned, there is no need to give up the opportunity to take advantage of it.As for the Queen Mother?No, the empress would never do anything to give someone a handle. The empress dowager had so many dark ghosts in her heart, and a little introduction of one of them would be enough to make her uneasy.

The Empress Dowager drank the medicine given by Qianlong himself, and she also believed that the Empress would never dare to do anything in front of Qianlong.

The queen had already changed clothes in the side hall and came back, and the queen mother fell into a deep sleep under the effect of the medicine.

Qianlong held the queen's hand and said: "The emperor's mother is not feeling well, and her temper is bound to be a little weird. I really wronged you."

The queen shook her head and said: "I don't feel wronged." The gentle and firm smile, paired with reddish eye sockets, is particularly moving.Even though the queen disdains trying to pretend to be weak, it doesn't mean she won't.And the occasional appearance of weakness by a person who has always been upright and strong only highlights the depth of her grievances, and makes people more impressive and has no doubt that she is a fake.

Qianlong paid more and more attention to the queen, and also became more and more dissatisfied with Yong Qi, who caused the queen to be "exposed" by the queen mother.

And Yongqi's own performance made Qianlong even more disappointed and angry.While all the princes were visiting the Palace of Compassion and Peace every day, he was often absent or left in a hurry because of what happened to Little Yanzi.

Little Yanzi became more and more unscrupulous after learning about Yongqi's thoughts on her.Now that she is in the palace, her scope of activities is restricted, and she is not allowed to enter other places except Shufangzhai's one-acre land.Shufangzhai was surrounded by guards, and her three-legged cat kung fu made it impossible to get out.

Little Swallow is not a domesticated bird, she can't stand the life of being under house arrest, so she clamors for Yongqi to take her out of the palace as soon as possible.

Yongqi explained to her that she is now waiting to be married, and there is absolutely no reason to run around.Although their intention to marry was made, Yongqi's Baylor Mansion has not yet been repaired, and the wedding date is set to March next year.

Yong Qi knew that the matter between him and Little Yanzi had already annoyed Qianlong and the others, now it is best to keep to one's own law and not cause trouble, otherwise their marriage will inevitably have twists and turns.

So he explained earnestly to Little Yanzi, to appease her, as long as she endured for a few more months, when they got married and left the palace, she could do whatever she wanted.

Little Yanzi had no choice but to agree, jumping up and down in Shufangzhai every day, so bored that she was about to go crazy.

The marriage between Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi did not go so smoothly, especially the Ministry of Rituals did not know what rules should be followed to carry out this special wedding, because Xiaoyanzi's identity is too special.

Gege Yanhui is the adopted daughter of the emperor, and Yongqi is the elder brother of the emperor. If they are separated, the two of them have their own wedding ceremonies that meet their respective grades, and they can prepare according to the system.But here lies the trouble. The marriage of the emperor's righteous daughter to the emperor's elder brother is not a matter of etiquette, and it is even more impossible to follow the precedent. This will inevitably hurt the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's a god-if it wasn't for the imperial decree issued by Qianlong himself, they really wanted to quit.

However, these officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also good people. After a while, they noticed the fact that Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi had fallen out of favor from Qianlong's careless attitude and the rumors spreading secretly, and tentatively offered a marriage contract. After the paperwork of Yiyi's plan, Qianlong approved it without hesitation.This group of people put their hearts into their stomachs, and it seemed that as long as there were no big folds in the procedure, nothing would go wrong.

Little Swallow's dowry was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it was purchased according to Zong Gege's grade standards.

Little Swallow doesn't understand these things, and doesn't care.But Xue Baochai beside her knew all these things very well.Their family was originally from an imperial businessman, Xue Baochai had a precise eye, and knew that these were just ordinary goods.

The author has something to say: (continued)

Xue Baochai felt a little cold.She tried her best to get into the palace, but now she wants to go out of the palace again as a dowry maid?The maids in the palace and the maids in the Baylor Mansion are fundamentally two different concepts.

Xue Baochai originally wanted to go to the emperor with all his heart, but he just wanted to get honor and favor as soon as possible so that he could help the family and use the family's wealth to improve himself.But now, the Xue family has fallen, and she is already alone. All she has to think about now is her own future.

If Yongqi's title is above the county king, Xue Baochai would still feel that it is not unacceptable to marry out of the palace with Little Yanzi.After all, with Little Swallow's talent, she can't manage all the affairs of a Baylor Mansion—or she doesn't know how to manage things at all. At this time, as long as Xue Baochai puts some effort into becoming Little Swallow's confidant, it is very possible Become the real steward of Baylor House.And if she can be further promoted and become Yong Qi's concubine, it will not be difficult for her to deal with a naive and ignorant little swallow with her scheming and ability.

However, the title granted by Yong Qi is only a Baylor, and he has lost the double favor of Qianlong and the Queen Mother one after another, so the possibility of being promoted to the title in the future is extremely low.

Therefore, Xue Baochai did not want to choose Yongqi as her target.

She has no way out anyway, why not work towards the biggest goal?Even if it is a Jedi, for her now, it is not too much to lose.
