Mian Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Jiaqing.

Jiaqing's complexion was also very complicated at this time. Hearing this, he hurriedly got up and replied: "The emperor is kind-hearted and worried about Mianyi's heirs. This is a major matter of human relations, and I should take it seriously. In this draft, I also pointed out people to Mianyi's family. , I just hope that I can give birth to an heir sooner and continue the incense."

Qianlong glanced at his son, with no emotion on his face, and he muttered a few more words after a long time.

He Shen also looked at Jiaqing meaningfully, and smiled and sent a message: "The emperor said that the emperor has done this properly, but after all, the elder brother is the heir of the Tian family. If you want to choose a concubine, you should choose one carefully and not be perfunctory."

Jiaqing hurriedly got up and bowed: "My son obeys the order."

Qianlong nodded slowly, and then looked at Mianyi again. There was a slight smile in his cloudy eyes, but the smile seemed a little faint, as if it didn't enter his eyes.

"Mianyi, you have to sharpen yourself." The voice seemed to be forced out of her throat, with a rough sense of stagnation.

When Mian Yi heard this, she felt a little puzzled, but he was silent for a while, then stood up and thanked respectfully: "Grandson understands."

Qianlong didn't speak any more, and waved his hands lightly, making them all retreat.

……

When Mian Yi stepped out of the emperor's big tent, she felt her back was wet, but Jiaqing patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, those words may have been said casually by your emperor Mafa, don't feel pressured, As for the heirs, let nature take its course."

Mian Yi knew that Huang Ama's heirs were also very difficult back then, so when she heard these words, she also smiled and nodded: "Thank you Ama for your comfort, I understand."

Jiaqing looked at his son who was already many heads taller than himself, and his heart was full of emotion. If he had a capable son, one would be enough, but if he was a stupid son, what would be the use of having more?

Fortunately, the gods gave him Mianyi, so that after a hundred years, the inheritance of the great position will not be entrusted to others.

……

Si Ning didn't know the change of the wind and rain ahead at this time, she was in the summer resort, and soon received the leather bag sent by Mian Yi.

Si Ning asked Zhang Wanfu who came to deliver the skins: "Brother, can you give these skins to Da Fujin as well?"

Zhang Wanfu broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "My elder brother is filial to your mother, so I only send it to your mother."

In fact, Zhang Wanfu also felt that it was inappropriate to deal with it like this, but maybe the eldest brother was used to giving things to Sining every time after hunting, so he sent them to Sining every time.

Si Ning couldn't help sighing, this kid is always so careless in such trivial matters.

"Okay, leave half of the skins for me, and carry the rest to your Fujin. She has been out of shape this time, and she may be happy looking at these skins."

Zhang Wanfu breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and took the order.

Si Ning winked at Qing Jin: "Go and share the fur, I think that white fox fur is very good, give it to Da Fujin, let her make a dress for it."

The white fox fur was one of the most outstanding among the furs sent over this time, but Si Ning already had it himself, so he wanted to give it to Xiao Niu Hulu.

Qing Jin took the order and took Zhang Wanfu out.

……

In the afternoon, Mian Yi came back from the front and found out how Er Niang had dealt with Pi Zi. She glanced at Zhang Wanfu annoyedly: "Didn't you tell Er Niang that I called her the white fox fur?"

Zhang Wanfu had a bitter face: "Brother, you really didn't tell this servant. If you did, you would have the guts to borrow this servant's courage. I wouldn't dare not tell the imperial concubine or empress!"

Mian Yi frowned, thinking that she was busy going to see the emperor and Huang Ama at that time, it seemed that she really didn't have time to say anything.

Because of this, Zhang Wanfu was not dealt with after all, and only said: "Next time, don't let Er Niang worry about such a thing, you should settle it in advance."

Zhang Wanfu nodded hastily: "I understand."

Mian Yi didn't bother to talk to him anymore, she turned and went to the study.

……

In the evening, Jiaqing came to Sining to resettle. He seemed to be in a stable mood, but when talking about the children, he sighed about Mianyi's children.

Si Ning didn't know why he thought of this again, so he could only deal with him: "Children are fate, and now there are no children, presumably it's fate that hasn't arrived yet, and when fate arrives, I'm afraid you won't be able to count the number of grandchildren you hold!"

Jiaqing couldn't help laughing: "If there is such a time, I will also feel happy."

The two of them didn't dwell on this topic after that, but Si Ning thought in his heart that Jiaqing suddenly brought this up again, maybe he was provoked by someone.

This thought was suppressed by Si Ning. Anyway, there is no rush to have a baby, and it is useless for others to talk too much. She has to enlighten Xiao Niu Hulu, so that she should not be so stressed. The reason why she fell ill this time was because she was worried about her offspring.

……

Early the next morning, Si Ning sent Jiaqing away and went to the queen's residence to pay her respects.

When they arrived, the empress had already sat upright, and the other concubines who came to the summer resort also came, but she was the only one missing.

Si Ning was a little surprised, thinking that she came at the same time as before, why did everyone come so early today.

Si Ning apologized while saluting: "I am late, please forgive my sin."

The queen just smiled: "It's not that you're late, it's that I'm sleepy this morning. I got up early, so sit down."

Si Ning didn't say any more, and sat down first under the queen.

The queen's complexion used to be light, but today's makeup is more colorful than before, and I don't know if it is to cover up the tiredness of her face.

However, the queen's speech was still as thorough and meticulous as before, and it was not affected in any way.

As a result, while he was talking, the crying of the fourth elder brother came from inside the room.

The queen pressed her temples tiredly, and said to the concubines with some embarrassment: "The fourth elder brother had a low fever last night and kept crying. He should wake up now. He can't leave anyone by his side. I have to go in and have a look, you guys Let's go back too."

The queen said so, and the others couldn't say much, so they could only get up and leave.

As soon as Si Ning came out of the queen's room, she saw the concubine walking over with An Changzai, and said with a smile: "The weather is fine today, empress, let's go and see the lotus in the back, this is An Changzai's first lotus." The next time we come to the Summer Resort, let's take her to get acquainted."

Si Ning didn't know that concubine Xun was such an enthusiastic person, but Si Ning had nothing to do at the moment, it was good to go for a walk, so she nodded in agreement.

Several people walked towards the lotus pond at the back. While walking, Concubine Xun introduced the scenery of the villa to An Changzai, and at the same time did not forget about Si Ning. The few people looked at it happily, but in fact Si Ning He and An Changzai didn't have a word to each other.

Moreover, Si Ning had a preliminary understanding of An Changzai's character through this journey. Different from her slightly gorgeous appearance, she was a very taciturn girl.

He's only in his teens, but he's stable like a person in his decades, and he speaks with a sense of proportion, and his words and deeds show a sense of proportion in every way.

Si Ning finally knew why Concubine Xun approached An Changzai, An Changzai was really a good listener.

They soon arrived at the Lotus Appreciation Pavilion in the middle of the lake. The court ladies and eunuchs had already arranged seats, tea and snacks.

Si Ning sat on the top seat, twisted a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite.

It seems to be a frozen pastry, it is cold in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness, but it is not too greasy, but it is a bit refreshing.

Si Ning liked the taste very much and took another bite.

Concubine Xun and An Changzai didn't eat any snacks, but only took a sip of tea, and then started talking again.

Concubine Xun pointed to the lotus pond and said: "The Summer Resort is not more exquisite and gorgeous than the garden, but it also has a special flavor. Look at the lotus in this pond, which is well arranged and beautiful, and it is not inferior to the lotus pond in the yard."

An Changzai smiled: "Your Majesty is right, and I also think that the lotus is well grown, so it can be seen that I have put my heart into it."

Hearing this, Concubine Xun chuckled twice: "If you want to talk about your thoughts, all the sisters in the palace should actually learn the idea of ​​growing flowers. Even if the flowers cannot bloom often, you should have something to rely on. If it fails to bloom, it will make people think of you. Otherwise, it may still be a bright flower today, but tomorrow it will be turned into mud and ruined by people."

What she said was so meaningful that Si Ning couldn't help but glance at her.

But Concubine Xun did not continue this topic, but quickly switched to talking about something else.

On the contrary, it was An Changzai, who later seemed to be a little out of sorts.

Waiting until the time was almost up, An Chang was leaving in a hurry, Si Ning and Concubine Xun stood in the Lotus Appreciation Pavilion, watching An Chang leave in a hurry, frowned slightly: "Why did you invite her today?"

The concubine covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and said softly: "Your Xin and An Changzai entered the palace at the same time, and An Changzai is still a common surname in Manchuria, but he was crushed to death by the nobleman Xin. I don't believe that she will be willing." In this way, and the nobleman often comes to Chuxiu Palace to look for An Changzai, and his words are all showing off, how can it be possible that the sisters can't get along with each other after a long time, and the concubine just pushes her."

It turned out that she wanted to instigate An Changzai to compete for favor and fight with the nobleman, Si Ning was a little speechless, and said with a smile: "Why are you doing this? Could it be that the nobleman offended you?"

Concubine Xun gritted her teeth: "Concubine just can't understand her flirtatious appearance, she dares to imitate her mother in everything she behaves, but she doesn't imitate her. It's really ridiculous."

Sining didn't expect that the concubine was doing it for this. To be honest, Sining didn't have much scruples about this honorable man. Although she said that she was quite disgusted with her behavior, she was keenly aware that Jiaqing had become more and more serious about the honorable man recently. Instead of being so favored at the beginning, she began to gradually alienate her, so she believed that the trustworthy person was just seeking her own death by doing so.

The so-called those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die. This is the truth. Jiaqing is the emperor, and the beauties in the harem don’t say three thousand.

But Si Ning doesn't think that Concubine Xun's plan can be successful, after all, this An Changzai seems to be a very stable and down-to-earth person, it is impossible to do something that is not in line with his character just because of these few words.

So Si Ning didn't say much, but just said indifferently: "In the future, we should do less of such things. If you don't say it, people will see the clues, but you will hit your own foot. How arrogant the nobleman is is not because of her own strength. It's just relying on the emperor's favor, so why do you bother to compete with her at this time."

Concubine Xun bit her lips: "What the empress taught me is that the concubine is reckless after all."

Si Ning patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "I know you are doing it for me, but in the future, we still need to discuss more, so that we can advance and retreat together."

Hearing this, Concubine Xun was a little excited: "Is your empress willing to advance and retreat with concubine?"

Si Ning smiled: "I have known you for so many years, and I understand your temperament. I believe in my own vision."

Concubine Xun's face flushed red, and she hastily saluted Si Ning: "Concubine is willing to die for Empress."

Si Ning pulled her to stand up, and said softly: "You don't need to die, you only need to be free, just talk with me."

Senpai smiled and nodded.

……

This afternoon, when Si Ning heard the news, the fourth elder brother suddenly started vomiting and diarrhea, as if he had caught a cold.

Many imperial physicians went to the queen's residence to check the pulse of the fourth elder brother. Later, when Jiaqing found out, they all sent their own imperial physicians there.

The imperial doctors didn't leave until it was dark, according to Qing Dai's inquiring news, the fourth elder brother's vomiting and diarrhea were considered to have stopped, but his body was also much weaker, and he might have to take care of him for a few days.

Si Ning nodded after hearing this, and asked Qing Jin to pack up some herbs and send them over.

The waiters in the room were replaced with Qingdai and green tea.

After the training of Qingdai and Qingjin, now Qinghe and Qingcha can come to serve her.

According to what Qing Dai said, Qing He acts a little frivolously, while Qing Cha is honest.

So Si Ning only asked Qing He to be in charge of cleaning the outer room, Qing Cha was in charge of cleaning the house, and Si Ning's washing.

Qing He has done a good job during this time, the little maids under her hand have arranged everything properly, the outside of the house and the yard are cleaned up, and the flowers, plants and trees are also tidied up very refreshingly.

And Qingcha is worthy of her honest evaluation, every word and deed is carved out of the rules, and never goes half a step beyond the rules.

In fact, Si Ning, who serves like this, feels at ease, and will never have any undue thoughts.

Soon, Qing Jin came back, and immediately went into the room to report to Si Ning: "The servant looked at it, the fourth elder brother's complexion was a little sallow, and his head was full of sweat, as if he was seriously ill this time, but the empress took good care of her." , stayed by the bed almost every step of the way, looked at the medicinal materials you sent over, and asked me to thank you."

Si Ning nodded: "I see, you should be more careful in your actions these few days, Si elder brother is sick, it's not a good thing at all."

Qing Jin nodded, and went down to order others.

……

That night, Jiaqing came to the Sining Courtyard. When he came, Sining was reading a book in the room. When he heard the emperor came, he rushed out to greet him. As soon as he came out, he saw Qinghe kneeling at Jiaqing's feet. It seems to be talking to Jiaqing.

Si Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, walked forward, and saluted Jia Qing: "Your Majesty."

Seeing her coming out, Jiaqing stepped forward and pulled her up: "It's a bit cold outside tonight, what are you doing out here?"

Si Ning glanced calmly at Qing He behind Jiaqing, and saw that she was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered, showing no expression.

She withdrew her gaze, smiled and said: "I'm wearing warm clothes, thinking of you coming, I can't help but come out to greet you."

After saying this, Jiaqing's heart softened, he put Si Ning in his arms, and walked into the house.

He didn't turn his head back, as if the person who spoke to him just now didn't exist.

Qing He knelt in the already somewhat bleak courtyard, clenched her fists.

……

In the room, Sining and Jiaqing had finished their meals, and were sitting by the window talking affectionately, but outside the room they saw Qing Jin coming out of the room.

She walked slowly to Qing He, her face was as cold as frost.

"What are you kneeling here for? If you want to kneel, just go and kneel behind you, so you don't get in the way of the master's eyes!"

Qinghe raised her head, her face already full of horror, she hurriedly kowtowed: "Sister Qingjin, this slave really doesn't have any wrong thoughts, it's just that the emperor came, and this slave didn't realize it for a while, kneeling too late, the emperor is merciful , I asked the servants almost nothing."

Qing Jin sneered: "It's thanks to you that you can say that. The people in the yard are not blind. Everyone knows what you did. Stop making excuses. Kneel behind me and let the housekeeper do it tomorrow." People from the government will take you away, our temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha!"

Qinghe's face turned green all of a sudden, and she was driven back to the House of Internal Affairs, she didn't need to think about what would happen in the end, not only would the masters and lords of the palace dare not use her anymore, she was afraid that she would only be able to do the most bitter things in the future. The most tiring job.

She must not be in this position!

Qing He kowtowed to Qing Jin non-stop, only hoping that she would say something nice about herself in front of her master.

It's a pity that Qing Jin's heart was already as hard as iron at this time, seeing her pestering endlessly, as soon as she waved her hand, several women came out, seeing her gagged and dragging her behind.

From the beginning to the end, there was no sound of restlessness, only Qinghe's terrified eyes remained.

The next morning, when Jiaqing was sent away, Si Ning sat in front of the mirror and asked Qingcha to comb her hair, while lazily asking Qing Jin: "Did you send her away?"

Qing Jin replied: "I was brought back early in the morning, I'm afraid her life will not be easy in the future."

Si Ning sighed, looked at herself in the glasses, and said softly: "Before you said she was frivolous, I still wanted to give her a chance. After all, if I send her back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I'm afraid I won't have a good future. , She lived up to my expectations."

After hearing this, Qing Jin pursed her lips: "It's your empress who is merciful, but it's a pity that Qing He doesn't have this blessing."

Si Ning shook his head, but said nothing.

But Qingcha, who was listening to the conversation the whole time, did not shake her hands, and combed Sining's hair smoothly without any mess.

Si Ning changed her clothes, led Qing Jin, and went to the Queen's Palace.

Qingcha stood under the porch, staring blankly at the bright red roses placed under the porch, with no expression on her face.

Soon, she turned around and went back to her room.

……

Si Ning went to the Queen's Palace this time, the Queen looked very happy, she smiled and said to them: "Si elder brother is already much better, I'm afraid he will be able to run away tomorrow, thanks to the blessing of the Emperor, he was able to save himself from danger .”

Si Ning and the others naturally followed up with a few auspicious words, which made the Queen very happy.

When the joy was over, the queen's eyes fell on An Changzai, a flash of amazement flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "An Changzai's outfit looks good today, you are such a talent, you shouldn't wear too plain clothes , but it makes your complexion look bad."

An Chang was trembling, got up and thanked the queen for her praise.

But the queen didn't just praise her, she also rewarded An Changzai with a few pieces of material, and said with a smile, "I just like seeing little girls dressed up beautifully."

An Changzai accepted the materials in great panic.

For a while, there was some undercurrents in the room, Mr. Xingui bit his lip and looked at An Changzai, as if he couldn't believe it.

And Mrs. Chun has a look of envy, and from time to time she even sneaks a look at the queen.

The queen sat still, said a few more commonplace words, and let them all break up.

……

After that, the situation in the palace really changed. For some reason, An Changzai was suddenly favored by Jiaqing. Although he could not compete with the beloved concubine, at least he already had some sense of presence in the palace.

And she didn't fall out with Mr. Xingui to fight in the ring as Concubine Xun imagined, on the contrary, she became more cautious and behaved in an unimaginable meekness.

Concubine Xun was a little annoyed, and since then she has not been in contact with An Changzai.

And An Changzai doesn't seem to mind this, or rather, she prefers to stay in her own room, or read a book, or embroider, and she enjoys herself quite a bit.

Si Ning finally understood, this An Changzai is still a house girl!

But it's fine, as long as you're happy.

In October, the group of them finally returned to the Forbidden City, and the fourth elder brother did not recover as soon as Fujin imagined. He had been ill for a long time, and he didn't get out of bed until around the Golden Festival.

But the fourth elder brother is a very lively child, as soon as he got off the bed, he ran all over the yard. Si Ning sometimes went to the Queen's Palace to pay his respects, and he could hear the yelling of the East Side Hall.

This is really a child full of energy!

This year was not easy. At the end of the year, Qianlong suddenly fell ill. Although it was not a serious illness, it was not serious at Qianlong's age. Jiaqing and Mianyi Mianning came to Qianlong's bed every day to attend to the illness.

Qianlong was also unable to attend the New Year's Eve banquet on New Year's Eve. On the first day of the first month of the first lunar month, when worshiping ancestors, Qianlong could not get up, so he could only come to Jiaqing.

Jiaqing didn't show any signs of emotion, he still looked flat.

Qianlong still didn't show up during the feast for the ministers in the second year of junior high school.

He didn't attend one after another banquet, and for a while inside and outside the court, the undercurrent surged, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The emperor will be 89 this year!This is not a small amount, and there are not many emperors who can live to this age.

On the night of the second day of the first lunar month, just as Si Ning had a rest, there was sudden movement from outside.

Si Ning suddenly felt her heart beating fast, she sat up and said loudly: "Who is outside."

Qing Jin walked in wrapped in a cold wind, her complexion didn't look good, she stepped forward and whispered: "It's the slave in front of Big Brother, and said that Big Brother has something to say to you."

Si Ning's hands are shaking, at this critical moment, what can Mian Yi say?

"Let someone come in!" Si Ning felt her voice trembling.

Qing Jin responded, and hurriedly went out to spread the word, Qing Dai asked someone to move a screen to separate them, and waited for Si Ning to get dressed.

Soon, the eunuch came in, bowed his body and lowered his head, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Si Ning as soon as he came in, and then whispered: "Brother, I asked my servant to send you a message, the wind will blow to you tonight. It's cold, please rest early."

Si Ning's breathing was about to stagnate, she and Mian Yi had agreed on a secret sign, if the word was cold, it meant that Qianlong might not succeed!

Si Ning closed her eyes, she has been living in the shadow of Qianlong since she transmigrated, even though they have never met, Qianlong is really affecting her life, and now, this hero in Chinese history The longevity emperor finally came to the end of his life.

Si Ning couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, she just tried her best to hold her breath, calmed her tone, and said lightly: "Got it."
