Yongzheng period

Often flushed, she became more energetic, "Don't coax me, don't coax yourself..." She asked expectantly again, "Is the emperor coming? Can you choose a name for the child?"

Daiyu paused, nodded and said, "Of course the emperor is here, and he hugged Xiao Shi with his own hands... It's just that the emperor said that the name should not be sloppy, so he didn't give it a name."

"Then let's call it 'Xiang'..." The concubine said slowly with sparkle in her eyes, "'Xiang' sounds the same as 'Xiang'; 'Xiang' means...help." The concubine looked at it stubbornly. She said sadly, "I am happy to be an elder brother, but I am annoyed that he is an elder brother... and I will lose my concubine mother."

Daiyu felt sour when she heard this, and then she heard Jubilee whisper, "Xiao Shi...let her be raised by Sister Hefei. She has a lower status, so it's good for either party."

"Don't worry," Daiyu shed tears, "I understand the worries in your heart, Xiao Shi, I think the word 'Jing' is better: to Ruochun and Jingming, the waves are calm——"

Daiyu said word by word, "With this sound, I will surely protect the youngest son to be safe and sound, peaceful and joyful."

Jubilee did not respond to her, and she would never respond to anything again.The afterglow of the setting sun covered her eyelashes, and the bright red sunset outside the window stained her face, so peaceful.

Daiyu was lying on the bedside, remembering that when she was a girl more than ten years ago, they sneaked out of the banquet and sat under the gazebo on a hot summer night.

The mourning sound of Yunban was heard from far outside the hall, and the mourning sounded everywhere, and the sharp sound of mourning broke through the gloomy sunset in the harem, "The concubine's death——"

Both sides of the palace road outside the Compassionate Ning Palace are full of vegetation, lush and lush.Yingchun was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, Shunfu led her to a hidden place, and saw a guard waiting there.

"The servant sees the empress and concubine, and the empress is blessed and safe."

Suspicions abounded in Yingchun's heart, and he hesitated, "You...are you the guard of the Compassionate Peace Palace just now?"

"It's the slave," the guard said solemnly, "the slave has something to tell the empress: Dianmo, a maid of honor just now, was separated and detained in the side hall, but after the empress dowager's mother came, Dianmo attempted to commit suicide."

Now I recall Jiangnan Le, when I was young and my clothes were thin.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year, Yunhui's father was transferred to Tibet, and because he was reluctant to let the girl go with him to endure hardship, she lodged in Lin's residence.

Mid-Autumn Festival has the custom of "Autumn Twilight Xiyue", which means worshiping the moon god.Every mid-autumn night, there is a big incense table to welcome the cold and sacrifice the moon, and set up moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums, grapes and other sacrifices, among which moon cakes and watermelons are absolutely indispensable.The watermelon should also be cut into lotus shape.Under the moon, the statue of the moon god is placed in the direction of the moon, the red candle is lit high, the whole family worships the moon in turn, and then the housewife cuts the reunion moon cakes.Those who cut should count in advance the total number of people in the whole family. Those who are at home and those who are out of town should be counted together. It cannot be cut more or less, and the size should be the same.

The Hutu family is fun, and the whole family is guessing riddles and beating drums until the fourth watch before resting.The sky and the moon were about to turn white, when there was a commotion, Yun Hui leaned on the fence and sang loudly. She sang an unknown tune in Saibei, like an eagle hitting the sky, with the vastness and boundlessness of rolling yellow sand.

The two little girls put aside the reservedness of "every lady" and made a fuss under the shadow of the waves and the moon.The soft and pouring moonlight is like a batch of brilliance and transparent curtains. During the starless night, the fragrance of water lilies blooming in the wind is squeezed into it, which is rich and intoxicating.

The night is hazy, but the scene here is really like "the water and the sky are the same color", so the two sat down on the two bamboo piers of Xiangfei.I saw a bright moon in the sky and a water moon in the pool, competing for brilliance up and down, like being in a crystal palace.As soon as the breeze passes, the surface of the sparkling pool is wrinkled and green, which is really refreshing.

Yun Hui was fascinated by it, "How could it be better to sit on the boat and eat wine now. If this is like this in my family, I will take the boat immediately."

Daiyu laughed at her, "It's just what the ancients used to say, 'If everything is perfect, there is nothing to be happy'. According to me, that's all, I have to get up by boat."

Yun Hui, on the other hand, calmed down, and just raised her head to ponder, "The bright moon is here at four o'clock. What's the joy of the mid-autumn Yaotai treasure mirror? It's better to hang Yuyu's head on the top; release Bai Hao thousands of feet, scattered into the same color. Everything enters my eyes, and the stars avoid it." Brilliance, wind and dew help quietness."

"What a beautiful you! Previously I was only eating wine and having fun, but now I'm enjoying the moon!" Daiyu laughed angrily, and tilted her head back to her, "The brilliance is bright and bright. In ancient and modern times, I only enjoy the Mid-Autumn Moon. I wonder if it's the moonlight. It’s all about the clear air in the sky.”

"Come on! You are the son of Xiaoxiang in the poem, but I only want to be a wine and meat drinker in the world of mortals!" Ma Jia Yunhui played a rogue, and clasped his hands at the moon with a devout look, "In the past, there was a woman without salt, fortunately, Yue The Lord of the Middle Kingdom pities you, and you have to meet the Lord of Qi under the moon. Believers don’t ask for high walls and green willows. The emperor asks for inquiries, but only asks for one person, and a perfect match is born."

and after……?Daiyu was thinking vaguely, but the fragrance in the evening wind became more and more intense, she just felt floating, as if she wanted to ride the wind back home.She struggled to turn over, a drop of tear dripped into the side of the pillow, dizzying a heavy mark.Daiyu is indulging in the youthful vigor of girlhood, sad people always have the right to dream.

When Daiyu woke up from a trance again, she heard the sound of raindrops, like pearls and jade falling into a plate.The moss under the palace wall spreads in with moisture, and the fresh smell of the rolling soil—it is the time when everything is growing.

The sleeping hall is quiet all around, except for the faint voice of people outside the curtain.Daiyu followed the prestige and saw that Yongzheng's brows were tightly furrowed, his body was dusty, and his eyes were slightly dark blue. The weak babies left behind by the Jubilee could only sneak a glance.

Standing in front of the table is the small figure of the sixth elder brother Hong Han, although his figure is thin, but his expression is firm.

"Why were you in Zhaoxiang's Office when the accident happened in the Compassionate Ning Palace?"

"...First, Erchen and others were together in the Royal Garden...Because the fifth younger sister met the fifth brother by chance, the fifth brother took us there." Hong Han paused, "At the right time, the seventh brother and Wu Xihagege were also together , Later, after we separated, we were playful, and followed Fifth Brother to Elder Brother's place... In this way, Ninth Brother avoided a catastrophe by mistake."

"By chance...? Hmph..." Yongzheng frowned, and said inexplicably.

The Kunning Palace always has a quiet and cool fragrance, Hong Han stared at the flat gold floor tiles under his feet and was stunned, Yongzheng's cold voice brought him back to reality, "...you guys have had a lot of friendship with Lao Wu? "

"Erchen..." Hong Han quickly raised his eyes to glance at Yongzheng's expression, and then lowered his gaze very quickly. He suddenly felt very thirsty, and the corners of his mouth were pursed unnaturally—a flash of his four faces suddenly flashed in his mind. Brother Hongli looked arrogant and defensive in his alienation, then turned to Hong Zhou's innocent and energetic smile, and finally fixed on the calm and indifferent face of the concubine mother.

"...The fifth brother suddenly invited Erchen and others to the Royal Garden that day...Erchen was also very surprised. After all, the fifth brother and the fourth brother have the most contacts..." Hong Han felt relieved in vain when he heard his answer. down.

There was another unspeakable silence, and after a while, Yongzheng's expression softened, and he said, "I see, you go and see your mother." Yongzheng looked at his sixth son who had already shown a calm personality, and said lightly, "When you were in my elder brother's office, you did your duty as an elder brother with all your heart. Your growth emperor, Ama, has seen it, and I feel very relieved."

Hong Han never expected to receive such a compliment so suddenly, his nose was sour.

"...Go down." Yongzheng said.

Zhaoxiang's house is located at the northernmost end of the Ningshou Palace area. The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother have left the palace to build a mansion. It's late.

"...Shen Nong whipped all kinds of grass with ocher, knowing its nature of calming poison, cold and warm, and the smell is the master, so that he can sow all kinds of grains, so the world is called Shen Nong..." Hongzhou gave himself weakly, holding his private treasure The ninth younger brother read the so-called "bedtime story", and glanced sadly at the cute little radish lying on the bed - he looked like a bosom brother, but in fact, he was black in his heart!

Hongzhou's heart was full of slander: I did my best to save your life, huh!Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence to avoid the calculations of the fourth brother?

"... Chisongzi, Shennong Shiyu Master, also served Bingyu powder, to teach Shennong, can enter the fire without being burned. As far as Kunlun Mountain, he often enters the stone chamber of the Queen Mother of the West, and goes up and down with the wind and rain. The Yandi girl catches up and becomes immortal. , all left. At the time of Gaoxin, he returned to be a rain master and traveled in the world. Today's rain master is originally Yan..."

"Fifth Brother." Xiao Jiu interrupted Hong Zhou's dry narrative, looking at him with sparkling eyes full of curiosity, "'Taoshan blocked the Qin Emperor's ship, and the Han Palace held gold plates all night.' said in the book Are all the ghosts of the fairy family real?"

"..." Hong Zhou was a little stuck. Since ancient times, seeking immortality and asking questions has been a forbidden area in the royal family. Bright or visible.' These things are not to be trusted..."

Xiao Jiu didn't intend to let him go, "Then... I heard that Huang Mama's illness was cured by a Taoist priest? Could it be cured with elixir? Is that Taoist priest the 'Master'?"

Hong Zhou's expression changed, "...Who told you this?" His face was calm, but his heart was already roaring ferociously: Nima!Throughout the ages, none of the emperors who liked to concoct alchemy and ate golden beads blindly ascended to immortality—instead, all of them died.

Xiao Jiu tilted his head to look at him, and made an 'innocence' reconciliation, "A while ago, the Taoist priest who treated Huang Mama was summoned into the palace by Huang Mama again... In the imperial garden, he and the fourth brother
