Zong Qiongyao's Haoxiang

Chapter 53

Ziwei didn't dare to tell Little Swallow what the emperor wanted, because she couldn't hide anything, she might accidentally say something wrong in front of the emperor.She originally wanted to find a solution to Fifth Elder Brother, but Fifth Elder Brother has been too busy to take care of himself since he took over the errand of the Ministry of Rites.

Later, the emperor really came several times, and the rewards were sent to Shufangzhai like flowing water.Ziwei had no choice but to pretend to be ignorant when faced with the hint from the emperor, and took the topic away with a smile.Fortunately, as the end of the year was approaching, the emperor gradually became busy and had no time to come to Shufangzhai to drink the tea she made by herself.

Things dragged on like this, and it dragged on until the New Year's Eve.

In the past few days, the palaces hung up festive red lanterns and new couplets, which looked very festive.On New Year's Eve, the palace became lively early in the morning, and the maids and eunuchs were busy shuttling around to prepare for New Year's Eve.The concubines who were able to attend also dressed up early, hoping to leave a good impression on the emperor.

Yongzhen also got up early that day, first went to the Queen's Kunning Palace to pay his respects, and then went to the Compassion Ning Palace with the Queen to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

"Greetings to Huang Ma, Twelve." Yongzhen saluted the Queen Mother in a polite manner.

"Well, get up, good boy." The Queen Mother said happily. Today is New Year's Eve, and the Queen Mother is in a very good mood.

"Yes." Yongzheng got up according to his words.

"Look, these days go by so fast. After the twelfth year, you should be 15 years old, right?" The queen mother looked at the young man facing the jade tree in front of her, she couldn't help nodding with satisfaction, and said to the queen sideways: "Queen, yes Shouldn't it be time to tell Twelve about Fujin?"

"Huang Ma, grandson... grandson is still young!" Yong Xin shook his head anxiously and refused.

The queen didn't take Yong Xin's refusal seriously, she just thought he was shy.She smiled and replied: "What the queen mother said is that the concubine is looking for him."

"According to Ai's family, the ministers have seen such a good child. I am afraid that people all over the capital are scrambling to marry their daughter to him." Seeing Yongzhen's anxious look, the queen mother said amusedly.

"Queen Mother, don't praise him like that. Be careful that his tail goes up to the sky. But having said that, the concubine made a joke because of this." The queen pursed her lips and smiled.

"Oh? What joke?" The Queen Mother asked with interest.

"The first Twelve went out on a business trip, and just as he came back, there were letters of invitation from the wives on the back. The courtiers thought there was something wrong, why did they all come? Who knew them After dawdling for a long time, I asked my concubine about Twelve, and my concubine suddenly realized." The queen said with a smile.Yongzheng has grown into such an outstanding handsome young man, the satisfaction in her heart is beyond words, and she wishes that everyone in the world would know about it.

"Emperor Niang! Why are you talking about this again?" Yongzheng said in embarrassment. Last time for this incident, someone severely demanded compensation. There are still a few red marks in his collar Woolen cloth.

"Oh, look, Empress, Twelve has really grown up, and he's shy now!" Seeing Yongzheng's face burned like a piece of red cloth, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing and laughing.

"Well, it's time, it's time to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Huang Mama, Huang Erniang, Twelve will leave first, forgive me." Yong Xi ran out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning quickly after finishing speaking, causing two people behind him A burst of laughter.

Yong Xing ran out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, then slowed down, found an unobtrusive corner, leaned weakly against the wall, and took a deep breath.The previous blush on his face disappeared, but now he was a little pale.

The joy on the queen's face was so obvious, but he would never marry a wife and have children in this life, so he couldn't satisfy her wish.Therefore, Yongzheng was full of guilt towards the empress, but at the same time, he was also worried that the empress had already found a candidate, and only waited for the emperor to order him to go out of the palace to build a mansion, and let him get married. What should he do then?

"What are you thinking about?" A warm body was pasted behind him, and a pair of hands wrapped around Yongxin's waist.

"I didn't think about anything." Yong Xin leaned against the chest of the man behind him and replied casually.

"If you don't tell me, I can guess that you are worried about the wedding, right?" Hao Xiang hugged him and smiled lightly.

"You know all about it and still ask me what to do?" Yong Xin said angrily.

"Emperor Niang now holds the name tags of each family every day, and talks about the lady of which family in front of me. I am afraid of going to Kunning Palace now, and you still have the heart to joke with me?" Yong Xing said Glared back at him.

"I'm not joking with you." Hao Xiang turned the boy to face him, looked him in the eyes, and said seriously: "Twelve, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have a way to convince the queen. Since you decide If you want to be with me, how can I make you worry about the future?"

"...I blamed you wrongly." Hearing this, Yongzheng said embarrassedly, most of the worries in her heart were gone.

Seeing him bowing his head to admit his mistake, Hao Xiang rubbed his head, shook his head and said with a smile: "You."

"Tell me quickly, what is the solution?" Yong Xin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and changed the subject.

"Want to know my method?" Seeing his curiosity, Haoxiang played tricks.

"Yeah!" Yongzheng nodded.

"Okay, you promise me first, and you will tell me no matter what is on your mind in the future." Haoxiang put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Twelve, we are partners who will be together for a long time, I don't want We need each other to know each other's thoughts after repeated pondering, which will be very tiring. Let's be honest with each other, can we?"

Yongzhen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "I promise, I will tell you everything in the future, and I will never let you guess. You are not, when you have a serious face, you don't know the twists and turns in your heart." How many there are, I can’t even guess a single one.”

Haoxiang couldn't help laughing after hearing his muttering complaints, lowered his head and touched his lips lightly, and said: "I will let you know in the future."

"It's outside, at least restrain yourself a bit." Yong Xin felt a little hot on his face.

Haoxiang didn't take it seriously, and smiled lightly: "Don't you want to know how I can persuade the queen? Come here with your ear..."

"..." Yongzheng really moved to his side, but after hearing what he said, he was speechless for a while, is that okay?

Hao Xiang saw that his face was not as pale as it was before, but was blushing again, so he let go of him and said, "Hurry up to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it's almost time for Shen."

According to court practice, on New Year's Eve, the emperor will hold a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to celebrate the New Year with concubines, princes, princes and ministers.

The banquet starts at Shen time (three or four o'clock in the afternoon). Except for the emperor, empress and empress dowager, other people rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony one after another before the end of the day, waiting for the holy driver.

When Yongzhen arrived, it was not too late, but there were already several elder brothers waiting outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.Yong Xing said hello to all the elder brothers, and then joined the elder brother's team in sequence.

Not long after, the fifth elder brother also came, followed by Huanzhugege with a bad face and a worried Ziwei.The fifth elder brother did not go to the elder brothers' side first, but led Huanzhugege and Ziwei to the concubine Ling.

"Concubine Ling, Little Swallow has been entrusted to you to take care of her today, she was not in a good mood just now, don't be offended." Fifth elder brother said apologetically.

The concubine Ling felt a little nervous when she saw Ziwei behind the little swallow, and the emperor said that she would be made a concubine tonight.Although the concubine Ling gritted her teeth with hatred for Ziwei, she still had a gentle and amiable smile on her face when she faced the fifth elder brother, and said angrily: "I have always regarded Xiaoyanzi as my own daughter, and the fifth elder brother doesn't talk about me. I will also take care of her, so there is no need for you to entrust her specially."

"I was wrong, so I will leave the little Yanzi and Ziwei to you." The fifth elder brother confidently sent the little Yanzi and Ziwei to the concubine Ling, heaved a sigh of relief, and went to the elder brother's queue to line up.

For some reason today, as soon as he arrived at Shufangzhai, he felt that the little Yanzi was treating him strangely. He thought it was because he hadn't gone to Shufangzhai for so many days, and the little Yanzi was angry about it.But if this is the case, the little Yanzi must have made a fuss when she saw him. How could it be like this now that she doesn't even want to give him a look.He went to ask Ziwei what was going on, but Ziwei was in a daze, and didn't answer a word for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

The fifth elder brother was worried that something would go wrong when the two of them were in such an abnormal state and encountered such a big scene today, so he didn't want to bring them here.But the emperor specifically asked them to come to the banquet, fifth elder brother had no choice but to bring them, luckily there was concubine Ling present, otherwise it would be really difficult.

As soon as the fifth elder brother stood still in the queue, the holy car, the empress dowager, and the queen's phoenix car arrived.

Everyone outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony knelt down and saluted, shouting long live, and then saluted the queen mother and empress.

The emperor and the empress came down first, and then helped the queen mother get off the sedan chair from left to right, and then called "get up" to everyone.

The empress and the empress helped the empress dowager into the hall of supreme harmony, and everyone followed in orderly, finding their own positions and standing still.

After the emperor sat on the throne and motioned to the eunuchs around him to say 'Give me a seat', everyone dared to sit down.

Little Yanzi and Ziwei followed Lingfei, sitting with Lingfei's two little princesses.

There are many people invited to come today, not only the concubines, elder brothers, princesses in the palace, but also princes and ministers, Manchu and Mongolian nobles.However, Little Swallow was completely out of interest in watching the excitement today. She stared at Emperor Qianlong who was sitting on the main seat and was talking with a smile on his face. There was unprecedented hatred and disgust in her eyes.

She already knew, Xiao Jian told her everything, that was not her Huang Ama at all, but her father-killing enemy!

Half a month ago, because the fifth elder brother hadn't been free to come to Shufangzhai, Xiao Yanzi often went out of the palace to learn how to whip from Xiao Jian.Xiao Jian is indeed a master of martial arts and a good master. It didn't take long for her martial arts to improve rapidly.Little Swallow admires Xiao Jian very much, so she wants to make a sworn oath with him.But Xiao Jian disagreed, and Little Swallow thought he looked down on her.Xiao Yanzi wanted to go back to the palace in a fit of anger, but was held back by Xiao Jian, who hesitated for a while before telling her that they were real brothers and sisters, and there was no need to be sworn brothers.

Little Yanzi didn't believe it at first, but Xiao Jian not only told her about the birthmark on her back, but also said that the time when his sister disappeared coincided with the time when Liu Qing and Liu Hong met her.

Only then did Little Swallow believe it, and Xiao Jian told her that her original name was Fang Ci, and Xiao Jian was his older brother Fang Yan, and her father's name was Fang Zhihang.Their family was originally a family of poets and books, but they were beheaded by the emperor because of the absurd literary inquisition.Her mother soon left with her father.

Their Fang family was ruined, and she had been a wild child without a father and mother for more than ten years, and was homeless. All the crimes she suffered were caused by this dog emperor!

The author has something to say: sorry for the lateness!

The next chapter will probably be the end of Ziweihua and the others.
