Yongzheng period

I miss my family more than ever... It's human nature, how can I blame you? Baochai was silent for a moment, her heart was full of sadness and melancholy, but she felt more and more familiar with Zhen Huan's appearance and demeanor, so she couldn't help saying, "Look up your head." "

Zhen Huan did as she said, and the moment she saw her face clearly, the blood on Xue Baochai's face faded away.She unconsciously grasped Lan Xiu's arm tightly, leaning forward slightly and widening her eyes to see more clearly.

Zhen Huan's face made Xue Baochai immediately understand why the imperial concubine only looked at her differently, her eyes flashed, and she began to think whether the capital value of Zhen's body was worth her betting.

After a while she opened her mouth, her tone was extremely gentle, "It's cold in the snow, my sister is still sick, just get up."

In the Palace of Preserving Harmony, people danced and danced to promote peace.

After drinking for three rounds, Daiyu felt that her face was very hot, and she was a little bit in a trance, so she hurriedly said to Yongzheng, "I'm afraid my concubine is a bit of a boss, go out to sober up and change clothes before coming back."

Yongzheng sent someone to call back Zijuan to follow Daiyu, so he would not worry about others.Turning around, he started drinking with Prince Dun and Prince Yi again. Yongzheng loves to invite a few brothers into the palace to celebrate every family banquet, and this time is no exception.

Concubine Duan immediately noticed that the imperial concubine was leaving the table, and she looked down: the seats for Concubine Xi and Concubine He, nobleman Shen and nobleman Ruan were all empty, she couldn't help but lower her face in displeasure.

Ji Xiang stepped forward and whispered, "The concubine Xi was bored, she yelled to go out to get some air, and the concubine followed after worrying; Mrs. Ruan just had too much wine to argue with concubine Xin, and left in a fit of anger. "

Concubine Duan said indifferently, "The Ruan family is restless, sooner or later she will kill herself, let her go. What happened to Shen Guiren?"

Jixiang said disdainfully, "A little maid saw it and said she went to Suiyuxuan."

Jingyang Palace, a concubine of such a noble mother's family as Shen Meizhuang, has prepared generous gifts to win him over, but the other party's attitude is naturally cold; offensive words.When mentioning her, Jixiang lost his face.

"Shen Guiren and Zhen Changzai are truly sisters." Concubine Duan held the stove, but at this moment she didn't have the heart to plot against Zhen and Chen, she just asked Jixiang, "Is there any news from Elder Brother?"

"Yes, everything is under the control of the empress." Ji Xiang sighed, "The empress really took great pains for the second young lady."

"The third elder brother only favors Na Luo Shi, and after Luo Shi gave birth, San Fujin was even more neglected. The lesson from the past is still in front of us, so I naturally need to make more plans." Concubine Duan said calmly, "I don't want Han Yan to come into elder brother's house. It is for Hongli's benefit to have a concubine's eldest son to be an eyesore—isn't it a beautiful thing to have a noble-born eldest son?"

"By the way," Concubine Duan seemed to think of something, turned her head and whispered to Ji Xiang, "It doesn't matter if Mrs. Gao is favored, just don't let her give birth to an heir, and increase the dose of spices given."

"Yes," Ji Xiang said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant knows what to do."

As soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, Daiyu took a few deep breaths of the night breeze that still carried half a wisp of plum fragrance. Her brain, which was originally chaotic due to drinking a few more sips of plum wine, became much clearer, and the slightly drunkenness on her cheeks also disappeared. Go down two or three points.

On the side of the straight and spacious palace road is a quiet path under the intertwined branches of silver-clad plains. Looking from a distance, you can only see the stars shining brightly against the red plum blossoms.

The crimson is like a cloud, steaming and rosy, and it seems to be burning with the beauty and arrogance full of "don't dare to bow your head".

Daiyu stopped and looked from a distance, she was a little crazy for a while.

Zijuan hurried up from behind with an ivy Xueluo cloak in her arms, and saw her master standing blankly in the snow, not knowing what she was looking at.Zijuan felt angry and funny, and hurried forward to wrap the cloak around the man, complaining, "Why didn't the master wait for the slaves to follow? It's so cold, if you suffer from the cold, you will feel better."

Daiyu came back to her senses, heard her complaining like a firecracker, she couldn't help pursing her lips and said cheerfully, "I just came out for a while to rest, and you are so worried."

Zijuan said, "Wine is a cold thing. I think the master just drank a few more sips and couldn't handle it. Now, do you want to take a rest nearby and order someone to cook a bowl of hangover soup?"

Daiyu shook her head slightly, "It's just that I came out for a walk when I was so bored, don't bother, Xiaojiu can sleep now?"

"Grandmother said that in the afternoon, the fifth princess brought the third princess and Wu Xihagege to play with brother Jiu. The little master was exhausted and went to bed early."

Daiyu smiled lightly when she heard the words, "Ge Ge was born with elder brother's temperament of my two children, but Xiao Jiu is very quiet and doesn't need people to worry too much."

Zijuan said, "Perhaps the fifth princess followed the emperor's temperament, but Brother Jiu is more like the master."

Hong Yang is only two years old, but he has already shown great interest in books: Whenever Daiyu reads a few sentences with a book in his spare time, he will run over and listen quietly with his black and white eyes open.Yongzheng sometimes used calligraphy to teach him. Although he was not yet at the age of entering school, he was quite happy under the influence of Daiyu on weekdays, and his temperament was completely opposite to that of his sister.

The master and servant stood still for a while, Daiyu opened her mouth slightly, and breathed out a cloud of white mist lightly.After standing for a long time, I gradually felt numbness spreading from the soles of my feet.

"Let's go back." Daiyu turned around, but out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a concubine He and a woman walking from the depths of the path on one side.

When the four met at the intersection, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.Daiyu looked suspiciously at the woman's familiar face, and spoke first, "Second Sister, this is—?"

Xue Baoqin was wearing a golden and emerald fur, and went forward to give a blessing, "The maidservant, Xue's Baoqin, is the wife of Mei Zhuanxiu of the Imperial Academy, her brother is Xue Bian, a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, and she has seen the imperial concubine and empress."

"Get up." Daiyu glanced at her eyebrows flatly, slightly displeased by the resemblance.

Yingchun explained, "You don't know her, she is Concubine Gong's cousin, and she stayed at home for a while."

Daiyu looked at her again, "No married woman should come into the palace today."

"The maidservant came with Prince Lian Fujin." Xue Baoqin keenly sensed the displeasure in the heart of the imperial concubine, who is deeply favored by the emperor, and she knew that it was because of her cousin in the palace, so she didn't want to stay longer. If you don't want to disturb the empress again, I will go to find Lian Fujin."

Bafujin's temperament is as fierce as fire, and it is the first time that a married woman who is in her favor is brought into the palace. It seems that this Mrs. Mei may not have the same temperament as her sister.

"You can do what you want," Daiyu said politely, "only Concubine Concubine closed the door to thank guests due to illness recently, so I won't be able to see you."

Yingchun was hesitant to speak when she heard the words, Baoqin smiled and said unnaturally, "Your maidservant will leave first."

Seeing her walking far away, Yingchun sighed, "You don't know, the relationship between the two of them is not as good as before. She is valued by Prince Lian Fujin, and it was just a coincidence that she came to the palace to meet me. I don't know either."

Daiyu was surprised, "Why is this so?"

Yingchun pouted in the direction of the Palace of Yanxi Palace, "It's not that when something happened to Xue's family, that person was suspicious and calculated, wasting the affection between relatives."

Daiyu thinks about the death of a servant in Jia's mansion because of Baoyu in the past, but Baochai is indifferent, thinking that this is her style.

"Second sister, why did you come out alone?" Daiyu saw that she was alone, Noye said, "It's always better for you to have more things than less things."

"Where am I willing to come out?" Yingchun said helplessly, "My concubine is very active and wanted to go out to visit the snow scene, so I followed, and that's when I met Baoqin."

Seeing the worried expression on Daiyu's face, Yingchun hurriedly added, "I also left Si Qi with me. If you can't stand the cold, go back with Zijuan first. I'll go find her."

Daiyu frowned when she heard this, and was about to answer when she heard someone running over panting behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Anshun kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely from running, with a panicked expression:

"Master! Madam Jubilee is not well—!"

The snow on Long Street and Yong Lane in the palace has been cleared by the palace people, but the road surface is a little slippery, so you have to be careful when walking.It was very cold, and the concubines were all having a feast with the emperor and imperial concubines in the main hall, and the eunuchs of the palace ladies also stayed in their respective palaces to avoid the cold.Suiyuxuan was originally remote, and there were occasional night guards and inner eunuchs passing by, but they were a little less energetic than usual, so it was easy to avoid.

Shen Meizhuang gathered the cloak of the big hood of the silver fox Xiangyun on his body, and walked on the long palace road alone.About half an hour later, the outline of Suiyuxuan can be seen, and the warm candlelight in the room reflects the hazy colors through the window grilles cut out of gold and silver foil.

Cui Jinxi and others were gathering on the table in the outer room to cut the window grilles, and Liu Zhu, who was watching Zhen Huan's return outside, opened the door and smiled, "Mr. Shen is here."

"It's so lively here!" Shen Meizhuang walked in with a smile, and saw the auspicious lantern of five blessings hanging in front of the door, and a pile of brightly colored window grilles on the table, which had a warm and elegant meaning.

"Your honor is auspicious." Cui Jinxi and others hurriedly knelt down to give a blessing, "Your honor is here to find the young master?"

"Exactly," Shen Meizhuang said, "I'm really worried about Huan'er's illness..." At this point, a lonely and downcast expression flashed across her face, "It's just that the imperial concubine is the only one at the family banquet, so it's better I came here to ask for some leisure. By the way, why are there only a few of you here? I don’t see where Huan’er is.”

When Cui Jinxi heard that she was about to answer, Liu Zhu couldn't hold back her anger and said, "It's not that those slaves have high eyes but low hands! Seeing that our little master has been ill for a long time and has no chance to face the saint, he picked up a high branch and went to the nobleman of Fucha !"

Shen Meizhuang remained silent, but his mind was full of thoughts: Jiang Fuhai was separated from Jingyang Palace, although he did not return to his old master on the surface, but the Fucha nobleman's palace
