Yongzheng period

Tied up with the maid Dianmo and this cat to the side hall to watch, as for Concubine Jin, you..." Seeing the queen looking at her, Concubine Jin said amusedly, "The concubine can also go to the side hall, the concubine considers herself innocent, The queen empress is fair, and she will not make the villain proud. "

Dianmo was gagged and taken away, Zhang Guiren was so frightened that tears flowed down his face, Concubine Duan watched coldly as his concubines in the palace were dragged down.The Empress Dowager's complexion was cloudy, Daiyu turned around and told Zijuan in a low voice, "The people in the Palace of Compassionate Ning are not reliable, please go and call Imperial Physician Sun and Nanny Shunying."

Zijuan didn't dare to delay and hurried down, so Daiyu said to the queen mother with a smile, "This matter is strange, I think it's not too late to investigate after the concubine is safe."

He concubine continued to persuade, "It is not appropriate to see blood outside the delivery room."

The Empress Dowager's expression turned pale, and she ordered the servants of the Palace of Compassion and Ning to set up their seats, and said indifferently, "Forget it, the Ai family will wait with you—together."

Around the southeast corner of the Royal Garden is Yixue Pavilion. There are five crabapple trees in front of the pavilion. Whenever the petals fall, it is like red snowflakes falling one after another, so this pavilion is named Yixuexuan.

At this time, these five crabapple trees were pitifully suffering from unwarranted disasters. Five, the king of the palace, the princess and Jia were jumping up and down among the green branches, while Wen Yi and Uxiha, who had been sealed as "Duoluogege", were sitting in the At the stone table under the crouching dragon pine, they talked in a low voice while playing pearls to kill time.

The seventh elder brother Hongjun came trotting all the way with a food box full of delicious food. Seeing this 'unseemly' appearance, the veins on his forehead suddenly twitched, and he turned his head and wanted to leave.

"Seventh elder brother." Wu Xiha was the first to see him, and hurriedly got up to salute.Although she is the queen's adopted daughter in name, her background is not comparable to these real sons and grandsons of dragons.

"Gege." Seventh elder brother pretended to be old-fashioned, and his expression was slightly relaxed.Wu Xihaxu is a few years older than Wen Yi, and now she is the age when a girl in my family has just grown up, and although she grew up on the grassland, she was raised according to the standards of a Han girl since she was a child. A bit of a young girl's youthful elegance.

"Brother Seven!" Hongjun and Wen Yi, the third sister, smiled and signaled, and then they heard a loud shout of excitement, and immediately jumped down from the crabapple tree, leaped over from the side and hung on... the seventh elder brother brought , Put it on the nanmu food box aside.

He Jia's eyes are shining brightly, and his little head is still arching intoxicatedly around the food box - both Yongzheng and Daiyu have expressed deep concerns about her increasingly "bulging" figure, Yongzheng The father even issued an order to clearly restrict the feeding of sweets after meals to the fifth princess.

It's just that Xiao Hejia will never live up to her title of 'bear child', because no one dares to stop her, the cooks in the imperial dining room don't know how much they have dealt with this princess.Sometimes relying on his cute face and good mouth, he also got a lot of snacks from the concubines of the palace - this is also the reason why he wants to call him "seventh brother" at the same age as Jia Mingming and Hongjun.

Hongjun: ...Baby feels bitter but baby can't tell.

Open the lid of the box, and you will find a wide variety of desserts and snacks. The top is a bowl of "Mung Bean Lily Porridge", white rice grains mixed with cool mung beans, and lily petals are lightly mixed in it, which is light and charming; there is another dish beside it Coconut balls are full of golden color, sweet and soft; there are also lotus root starch osmanthus sugar cakes such as Shen Guiren's specialty, with two layers of white and tender or a thin layer of icing in the middle, which looks sticky; the rest are layered with sesame seeds. The crispy seal, fresh lily snow fungus, bean curd and horseshoe soup with a cool taste, and cube-shaped milk and water chestnut cake... It will whet your appetite.

"I didn't expect the seventh brother to have such a delicate mind." He Jia had already shown the prototype of gluttonous food, and a lazy voice came in abruptly. The dog's tail grass that I didn't know where to pull, was squatting beside the crabapple tree, looking at him with radiant spirit.Beside him are the sixth elder brother Hong Han who is holding a flower shovel with a listless face, and the ninth elder brother Douding Hong Yang who is holding a birdcage with a serious look.

Hongjun: ...The attention was drawn by Xiao Wu before, but I didn't realize that the two emperor brothers and the ninth brother are here. It's really rude!But having said that... Isn't the one in Ninth Brother's hands the starling raised by the empress in the bedroom...?

"Fifth brother... are you...?" Hong Yu asked with great difficulty.

"Oh, this thing." The fifth elder brother Hong Zhou spat out the dogtail grass that he had been chewing for a long time, and in the meantime told Xiao Liu to grab the branches and put them into the exposed hole on the ground, and waved his hand very chicly, "Isn't this I lost the bet with Fujin...cough cough! In order not to disturb the mothers and concubines from disturbing cicadas, why not come here?"

Jiang Xuexuan is far away from the Sixth Palace of the Inner Court... Seventh elder brother put on a straight face, and said in a serious manner, "Fifth brother is about to leave the palace to open the mansion. I heard that Huang Ama has also assigned errands to fifth brother recently, so... act , lest Huang Ama be displeased."

Hong Yan struggled to swallow the word 'naughty' - at least he still remembered the difference between elder and younger, but he didn't realize that his fifth elder brother's expression had dimmed in vain.

Hong Zhou simply lay on his back among the flowers and plants, covering his face with his hands, so that no one else could see his face, and his lazy voice came out from between his fingers, "There are third and fourth brothers on the left and right who are suffering, I, or It's best to have fun."

Honggan had an intuition that the topic was wrong, and was thinking about other topics, when he saw his fifth brother rolling over with another carp, rubbing his heart and shouting at him exaggeratedly, "Could it be that Xiaoqi despises fifth brother?! Oh, yo, this No way!"

Hongyi suddenly felt his head was as big as a cow, and the sixth elder brother who was standing beside him lifted up a branch with great winking, and brought out a fat golden cicada larva, and Xiaojiu looked at it tacitly, almost drooling The starling was released——Hong Zhou was immediately attracted by the starling Jin Chan, and chattered endlessly to Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu to boast of his own "childhood achievements".

Hong Yang silently stared at the scene in front of him: "..." He cast his eyes on Hong Yang with a complicated expression. He was raised by the queen mother and then returned to the deceased concubine. His other brothers and sisters were all a little inexplicably jealous of the pair of children born to the empress, especially himself.

Yongzheng can't be said to be a good father, but he can never be said to be a bad father.As emperor, he did everything possible to create the best living environment for all his children.Sometimes there are short-sighted old mothers in the palace who feel that Princess will not be favored and bully them in every possible way. Yongzheng will even personally punish these bold slaves.

Compared with the previous emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng did not have many children, and he loved his daughters more than Shunzhi and Kangxi.It's just that as the 'Huang Ama', monarch and minister, father and son, it is obvious that Hejia and Hongyang are Yongzheng who are really thinking about how to pamper and pamper him as a 'father'.

In fact, the relationship between Hongjun and his ninth younger brother was neither salty nor weak. The memory is relatively long. When Concubine Gong was still alive, she often took him to the Changchun Palace to pay her respects to the empress who was still the imperial concubine at that time.The furnishings of the Changchun Palace are exquisite and exquisite. Naturally, the Yanxi Palace where his biological mother lived when she was favored in the early days was magnificent, but he always felt that the Changchun Palace was more warm than the cold Yanxi Palace.He still remembers the first time he saw his ninth brother sleeping in the cradle, the little baby seemed to be sleeping innocently and well-behaved, and he couldn't help poking his white and tender face——Hong Yang opened his black and white eyes and stared at him. A little panicked himself.

At that time, he suddenly felt absurdly that maybe he and this ninth brother were very destined, but what happened later happened too fast, and everything stopped here.

In private, he talked these words to Aunt Zhuxi, the aunt who had been with the Queen Mother in the harem all her life, just sighed and hugged him, and told him in a gentle voice that he only needed to be better and get Huang Ama's attention and appreciation.

As for the latest encounter... Hongjun pursed his dry lips, and the Queen Mother was one of his few shadows.He still remembered that when he cried in the Palace of Compassionate Ning in embarrassment, Xiao Jiu ran over to hold his hand and comforted him softly—the emotion in his eyes was a rare sincerity in the palace.

"Seventh brother."

Immersed in his own thoughts, Hong Yun's face became more and more gloomy, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He almost jumped up and looked at the person who made the sound—here Xiang and Jia were "gudong gudong" at the horseshoe soup. Wen Yi didn't know When did he put down the semi-finished Zhuluo in his hand and walked over, caressing He Jia's back and smiling lightly at him.Uxiha was still sitting there far away, looking over hesitantly.

"If the seventh brother is worried that Huang Ama will blame him, there is no need for it." Wen Yi turned his face and stared at Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu who were busy coping with Hong Zhou, and couldn't help laughing.

Hongjun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and glanced at the third sister gratefully. With so many eyes watching today, if there is a word of his dissatisfaction with elder brother Jiu spread, not only himself, but also Concubine Xin's mother would be unavoidable. Will suffer.

"Brother Seven's temperament is too serious~" He Jia tried hard to swallow the last piece of pastry, and said solemnly, "Ama Huang and Niang Huang'er Niang Xiaojiu is a precocious and good boy, as long as he reminds us to cover up~ then Everything will be fine!"

Waving hands with Jia Xintu, he muttered, "Besides, Huang Ama is not so stingy... It's okay to steal the small pendants on his clothes before..."

Hongjun silently digested her words, Ama, the Emperor of the Heart, so it turns out that you have also been poisoned by the Fifth Sister, it is not easy...

Hong Zhou, who returned home with a full load, almost drifted over all the way. Hearing this, his eyes lit up, "Fifth Sister! A fellow!"

Sixth elder brother Hong Han immediately pulled Hong Yang over with a blank expression and took a big step back, well, the little bully and the big bully have a common language, as long as they don't bring the little brother into trouble.

Hong Zhou was so satisfied that he held the starling Yiyi like a baby
