However, it was today that she unexpectedly met a man.

The heart is bumping like a deer, is this the so-called love at first sight?

I've been single for 20 years, and I'm finally going to be the first to get out of the singles!

Su Yang thought regretfully, she will go home soon.

She didn't communicate with this young man she had a crush on, and finally said goodbye to him at the place where the river lanterns were placed, and found an inn to rest for a night, and waited for Duoyu to return to the palace together on Donghua Street the next day.

Before entering the palace, Su Yang went to buy pastries again, and she had already eaten all the pastries from yesterday in the inn.

After informing Concubine Tong Guifei of the Hesheli family's illness in Tong's mansion, and handing over the newly bought cakes, Duoyu took her by the small arm and walked out of the hall, "Susu, Susu, were you okay last night?"

Su Yang touched her lower back subconsciously, thinking of the young man's handsome appearance, he smiled at her: "It's probably pain and happiness."

Duoyu: "?"

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, all the palaces are getting busy.

Tong Jia Xianrui suddenly fell ill.

The imperial doctor came to see him and said that the weather has been fluctuating from hot to cold recently, he accidentally contracted a cold, and because he misses his family, he is depressed and needs to rest for a few days.

At the same time, I told Kangxi that Concubine Tong's body was cold and her body was weak since she was a child. She was afraid that she would not be suitable for pregnancy. , one is recovering soon, and the other is still sick.

Kangxi specifically told Tong Guowei that he must bring his wife Hesheli to the banquet. It might be that Tong Jia missed his family. Seeing him should improve a little, and it is also useful for his condition.

The former dynasty has been very quiet recently, because shortly after the concubine was conferred in August, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued an order: all women in the palace should serve as walkers, and if they enter the palace for business, they should go out immediately after the official business, and do not sit idle for a long time. Tell the outside affairs to the inside, and eavesdrop on the palace affairs to tell the outside.

For a while, everyone was in danger, not daring to look too much and not talking too much, and repeatedly asked the family and maids to watch less and speak less.

This dignified atmosphere was maintained until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the courtiers of the former court began to rest and take a bath, but on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor invited all the ministers to a banquet, one by one, with their wives, and brought moon cakes made at home on time, and gave each other moon cakes.

This is a fixed festival every year.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs will prepare various repertoires in advance for the emperor and all the concubines to enjoy.

That night, the night was dotted with stars.

The imperial garden is as bright as day, and there is a screen on the east side, with various kinds of vegetables and flowers, and a table in front, with cakes and fruits standing in a row, and the moon cake is in the center of the cakes, just like a full moon coming to the world, hanging in the sky. The bright moon, looking at each other from a distance.

And on the treetops, there are gorgeous and bright glazed lamps of various colors hanging down. Under the lamps, the wives of various families sit cross-legged in rows, with beautiful looks, just like a piece of rich and noble flowers in the world.

The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress came one by one, and the rest were the empresses and concubines sitting on both sides, and on the outside were the officials and their wives, and the emperor followed.

Su Yang waited on Concubine Tong, sitting not far from the lower end of the emperor, and Ma Jia took a seat with her daughter Rong Xian, looked at her with a smile, exchanged a few pleasantries before sitting down.

After Tong Guifei fell ill, she was extremely sensitive to other people's attention.

A beam of sight from the superior passed by, she raised her head subconsciously, met Kangxi's concerned eyes, and subconsciously showed a weak smile.

Kangxi nodded as a signal, and glanced at Su Yang who was busy around her.

Today Su Yang was wearing a simple and elegant female officer's flag uniform, with no makeup on her face.

There is no such thing as other concubines stepping on the bottom of the flower pot, taking small steps slowly.Her movements were crisp and neat, under the moonlight, fine beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, and her gestures seemed to protect Tong Jiashi.

More than a month has passed since the last Qixi Qiqiao Festival, and the lively and thoughtful little maid outside the palace has changed back to the respectful, reserved and self-respecting female official Su.

Two completely different contrasts, people can't help but want to go deeper.

"Liang Jiugong," Kangxi ordered, tilting his head, "The noble concubine is weak, and the tedious etiquette must be exhausting. After the end, I will send her back to the palace to rest. The palace is busy during the festive season, and autumn is hot and restless. Everyone in the palace will enjoy a bowl of iced herbal tea."

Liang Jiugong bent over and smiled obsequiously: "Hey!"

Tong Jia Xianrui came with her sick body, and after the complicated etiquette came down, her body couldn't hold on anymore. After looking at her mother from afar, she ordered Su Yang to help her back.

After talking to Tong Guowei, Hershey got up from the banquet and went to Chengqian Palace with Duoyu who came to call her.

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, every place in the palace was full of joy, and after it was closed not long ago, there were lights and festoons, and it was very lively.

But Chengqian Palace was deserted, with Duoyu guarding the door, and Su Yang was personally decocting medicine for Concubine Tong. In Chengqian Palace, only Aunt Cui Xian, Mrs. Hesheli Tong Guowei, and Concubine Tong were left.

Tong Jiashi leaned on the bed with a pale face, and called softly: "Er Niang."

During this period of time, her face has become much thinner, and there is a smoky melancholy around her brows.

Hesheli's face was full of worry: "Xianrui, how come Er Niang is recovering soon, but you fell ill again? This is what Er Niang should do."

Tong Jia Xianrui burst into tears suddenly, hugged her tightly, and cried: "Er Niang, Er Niang, I'm so tired."

Hesheli patted his daughter's back distressedly: "You tell Er Niang, now that you are a concubine, Er Niang can only listen to her daughter's crying, and there are some things that you won't be sad if you tell them. "

Tong Jia Xianrui was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

"Ah, Er Niang," her eyes glistened with tears, "the imperial doctor said that my palace is cold and my constitution is not easy to conceive, and that my health is not good."

"Before Hershey's concubine was sealed, the emperor went to her for three or two days. The daughter entered the palace for more than a year, only a few times. During this time, news of the concubine's pregnancy came from the harem, but the daughter's stomach has not yet disappeared. sound……"

She buried herself in Hesheli's arms, crying: "My daughter is sick again, and I was afraid of getting angry with the emperor. The emperor came here for a day or two, but then he stopped seeing my daughter."

Mrs. Hesheli touched her precious daughter's head: "Xianrui is good, maybe the emperor was busy with official duties in the previous court. In those days when he was not here, has he ever been to other palaces?"

Hershey's tears rolled down gently, "At the Queen's."

"That's it." Hesheli patted her back and comforted her in a low voice, "Queen, you are a wife among the people."

She sighed slightly and said in a low voice:

"Our emperor is young and thoughtful. A few days ago, he issued a handbook. There was never news of communication between the palace and the palace. There are many concubines in the harem, all of whom were drafted from the courtiers' mansions. No, they were called directly. Entering the palace. You are sick now, if you are still unable to untie your heart knot, if you are so sick, the emperor will not come for a day, two days, ten days, and go to another place, then it will be even more difficult for you. Obtaining the Sacred Heart is very difficult."

She smashed this truth into pieces and turned it into ashes, and taught her youngest daughter.

"The relationship between cousins ​​is inherent, but that is also general. The heart of the royal family cannot be speculated or probed."

Tong Jia Xianrui looked at her anxiously: "But...but."

"No buts."

"From the day you entered the palace, you have to accept this fact."

"Don't covet the emperor's love, Xianrui, do you know?" Hesheli said, "When the emperor married Empress Xiao Chengren, the Empress Dowager discussed with him, but was rejected."

"The empress dowager asked him: Why did he refuse? Empress Xiaochengren is a gentle and gentle empress with a calm and elegant temperament. Are you dissatisfied? The empress dowager then asked: "Who is the person you want? The emperor can't answer."

"Late at night that night, the empress dowager finally persuaded him. Both the front court and the harem need such a queen who is the mother of the world, to preside over the stability, so that there will be no chaos."

"Mother, how do you know?"

Hesheli smiled wryly: "This is what Er Niang guessed, whether you like a person or not, you can tell from the bottom of your eyes."

Tong Jia Xianrui looked unbearable, and said in pain: "Then who does the emperor like?"

This may be the crux of her illness.

Mrs. Hesheli let out a sigh of relief: "Who knows, it has existed since ancient times. The first emperor loved the empress Dong E's filial piety, but the result..."

"Xianrui, Erniang knows that you are sad, but don't expect such illusory things extravagantly. Talented scholars and beautiful ladies, qin se and ming are the scriptures, and people must learn to face reality."

Tong Jia Xianrui stared blankly at her, forgetting to cry for a moment.

"Then, what should I do then?"

Hershey smiled kindly at her: "Get better as soon as possible, and your body comes first."

"Then, since it's not easy to conceive, it's much safer to love her firmly, and with someone to help her, she can slowly adjust her physique and conceive again."

Tong Jiashi suffocated suddenly, looked up at her in disbelief: "Er Niang...you mean..."

Hesheli touched her head lightly, and said softly: "This huge Chengqian Palace is too deserted, it would be better to have some fireworks."

Tong Jia Xianrui's face paled slightly: "Then, who is this person?"

Hesheli patted her head, "It has to be good-looking, more than ordinary people, trustworthy, easy to deal with, and wholeheartedly for you, who do you think?"

She lovingly stroked her daughter's black hair, and let out a deep breath.

"My mother, when you entered the palace, I prepared such a person for you."
