Taking advantage of the moment of the sacrificial ceremony, Lu Yun and Ruyi listened to the eunuchs and palaces in various palaces coming to report trivial matters. Hailan had been kneeling for a long time and felt her knees were sore and numb. Seeing that other concubines did not look like they were going to the side hall to rest, they waved to Ye Xin to bring the medicinal wine and follow him to the side hall.

Ye Xin helped her out and whispered: "The little master's knees are not good, so he can't stand such a long kneeling."

The two were talking, and Ruyi just helped Yangxin out and planned to change her clothes to the side hall. When she saw Hailan, she said, "Do you can't stand it anymore? You go to the side hall for a break first. I'll ask someone to bring you a bowl of Babao sweet soup, and then apply some medicinal wine."

Hailan waved her hand and said, "After giving birth to a child, it's not as good as before. Sister whispers, don't let someone hold on to the handle of the words and say I'm disrespectful to the Queen of Daxing."

Hailan's words are not unreasonable. After Empress Xiaoxian's death, the emperor was very sad and had a moody temper. Two days ago, he accused several ministers of the previous dynasty of not being sad enough at the funeral, so he immediately beaten to death. If others knew that Hailan had a sore knee because she knelt in front of Empress Xiaoxian's spirit, I wonder how many troubles there would be.

Ruyi knew what she meant and sighed: "The emperor's current temper...forget it, Empress Daxing passed away and the emperor lost his wife. Is it sad."

Hailan sneered: "It wasn't necessarily like this before his death, but now he has become a loving couple. If the Queen of Daxing knew about it underground, would she think that she was too late to give up her life and could not get such respect and kindness earlier?"

Ruyi looked around and shrewd her fingers: "I'm more willful in speaking."

Hailan looked transparent: "What are you afraid of for a person like me? He just saw through my sister's love that she couldn't see through."

Ruyi was holding Hailan's hand and about to enter the side hall, when suddenly she heard a rustling whisper inside. Seeing someone there, the two of them were inconvenient to go in for a moment. They were turning around and about to leave, but they heard that Yonghuang and Fujin Yilari were talking.

Erari advised softly: "I've been tired for so few days, so drink some ginseng soup to boost my energy. I have prepared hot water. I'll apply it to my face and be more energetic."

Yonghuang seemed very impatient: "What are you doing to do these things? I have to hurry up and guard the emperor's mother spirit. The emperor's mother passed away, and the only one of my brothers was the eldest son. For a while, it was still possible to lack others. My eldest son was not here, what would it look like."

Erari felt very distressed: "My grandson has been trapped in this life. You are not a person who is beaten up, so what if you take a break? You have to run to Empress Xian when you have time. She is just your former adoptive mother. You have to take care of the face of Concubine Chun!"

Yonghuang sneered, "I have to take care of the face of Empress Chun, and my mother cannot keep going. After all, Empress Chun has her own son, even if she has raised me for a few years, what is it? The prince's wife married most of the eight major surnames of Manchuria, and you are only from the Ilari clan, a small clan. If Empress Chun really loves me, how could she let the prince's wife point to me, a small surname, not speak? The prince's marriage is the most important family surname."

Erari said embarrassedly: "It's all my own, why can't I help you?"

Yonghuang said: "It's okay if you can't help, everything depends on yourself. After all, the emperor's mother died. She didn't love me when I was a child, and almost killed me at the prince's house. She died and was still pure, otherwise she would be there, I wouldn't have been able to climb up for the day."

Erari thought carefully and said, "It's just that the emperor's mother died, and the left of the throne fell on Concubine Chun, Concubine Xian or Concubine Jia. You have to see who it is."

Yonghuang said: "If Empress Chun becomes the queen, can I still have hope? Her sons Yongzhang and Yongyan become legitimate sons. Concubine Jia comes from too wild and has no hope. Empress Xian... her mother suffers from her family background and has no son. But what I see is that she has no son and no son, so she will love me, her adopted son. I don't believe it. I will not be as good as Yongqi's slutty boy with more support from the past. Even if Concubine Xian cannot become the queen, as long as she tells the emperor that I am the eldest son, I will have more chances of winning."

Erari said: "As for what happened, Concubine Xian loved her more."

There was a moment of silence, as if the warmth of the past flowed again, but such an illusion was like a brilliant rainbow in the sky, disappearing in an instant. Yonghuang seemed to be sneering: "Who knows whether it hurts or not? It's just that we can use it when we look at each other and use it more. I have grown to this age in this palace. Do you still understand these? All family affection and filial piety are fake! Only by becoming the prince and holding power is the most real."

It seemed that it was the timid response from Ilari, Yonghuang sighed long and said, "I have a lot of things to do, I have to go to Baohua Palace to pray incense and pray. Today is my mother's birthday." He seemed to be a little choked, "My mother, I'm sobbing!"

Erari said, "You are patient, don't mention this. Although my mother is not here, I should be filial to you on my birthday. I heard that Empress Xian and Empress Jia both sent someone to give me a sacrifice early in the morning."

Yonghuang said: "You and I will go together too much, so that people will not be held in the hilt and say they are disrespectful to their mother. I will go there myself."

After he finished speaking, there was no sound inside. After a moment, footsteps gradually approached, and then the door opened. Ruyi and Hailan stood at the steps, pointing to the palace in the distance, as if saying something. When Yonghuang saw them, he looked filial and humble, and bowed, "Hello, Mother, Hello, Empress Yu." He seemed a little nervous, "Why are the two empresses here?"

Ruyi smiled calmly and said, "I am telling Concubine Yu that the color of the glazed tiles opposite from Changchun Palace are particularly bright, and it seems not suitable during the funeral period. It is better to cover it with white cloth."

Yonghuang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you go and do it immediately."

After he said that, he hurriedly left.

There was drizzling drizzle outside the eaves, and the Forbidden City in March seemed to melt in the dark gray mist and rain, with a sad and sad color. Ruyi whispered softly, as if asking Hailan, and also asked herself: "Hailan, how could the child I really feel sorry for has become like this?"

Hailan was completely disgusted with Ruyi's sadness: "The royal children will grow like this in the future. I think Yonghuang is more like a prince." She looked at Ruyi and reached out to block the misty silver silk that was thrown into by the wind for her, "Are you sad sister?"

Ruyi stretched out her hand and caught the thin raindrops. The wetness, like tears, fell into her palm: "Yonghuang, after all, is the child I really love. In my days when I had no children, I always regarded him as my own child."

Hailan's voice was thin and thin, like a lengthened thin line, cutting off the sadness of the drizzle: "Does sister love Yongqi? Maybe one day, Yongqi will become Yonghuang, not as we expected to grow up. Brothers and brothers are kind and filial to the son. It is just a joke in this palace, but a complimentary word written into the merits after death. In the future, Yongqi will have his own thoughts and thoughts, and even more things to be wanted. There are many mothers and sons in this world, and the couple are disconnected, so whether it is mothers and sons or husbands, this kind of relationship that may be alienated in the end is not as good as our sisters' emotions for many years. Sister, maybe one day, Yongqi has his own relatives and the emperor will no longer favor him. Then only you and I will continue to be with us in the deep palace for years, just as before."

Hailan's tone was deeply dependent, but Ruyi's thoughts were floating in the drizzle and confused: "Hailan, I have never asked you why you cannot believe in the love of the world?"

A little crystal tears flashed across the corner of Hailan's eyes: "Sister, do you know how my Ama and her mother died? My mother and Ama were very affectionate when they were young, but one day my mother no longer had a beautiful face. Ama fell in love with other women. My mother couldn't stand it. When they were arguing with each other, she stabbed Ama to death, and then committed suicide in grief. I was raised in my uncle's house since I was a child, so I always thought that what if I love each other? In the end, there were too many hatreds because of love. Instead of doing this, it would be better not to have loved each other. The love between men and women in the world is just a flesh-and-hearted relationship, which is really unreliable."

Ruyi was silent and sighed softly: "But Hailan, if she doesn't believe anything, will she be too empty and seem to be unable to find a support?"

Hailan chuckled, with a deep dependence in her eyes: "Sister, I believe in you." She leaned against Ruyi tightly, "So sister, no matter what I do, you must believe me."

Ruyi nodded gently, letting the raindrops brush over her body: "Yes, I believe it."

Hailan whispered: "Sister, I know you are actually a little different. After coming out of the cold palace, you always wanted to advise yourself not to think too much, just believe in the emperor. But if you persuade yourself like this, she is already beginning to disbelief. Right?"

Ruyi closed her eyes and rejected the void in front of her: "Hailan, don't say anything more."

Hailan nodded knowingly: "Then let me say another thing. Sister, Concubine Chun is determined to be in the position of the queen. She has a great chance of winning. Now she is close to Cining Palace again. Sister, we have to think of a way."

With a cold feeling in his heart, Ruyi suddenly opened her eyes: "Her greatest chance of winning is her offspring."

Hailan raised the graceful curve of the corners of her lips: "I understand this. What is the most beneficial thing about Pure Concubine? I have to get rid of her most beneficial thing, so we will feel at ease."

Ruyi nodded, but hesitated slightly: "But Yonghuang is not her chance of winning. Even if he is not good, don't touch him."

Hailan smiled and reached out to carefully brush away the bright raindrops stained on her crane-carved plum-carved silver thread brocade robe: "Sister still feels sorry for Yonghuang." She breathed a sigh of relief, "Now my sister is on the storm, it's better not to move everything, I have everything."

Ruyi looked at the drizzle outside the curtain and brushed off the raindrops in her temples, as if she was careless: "Now, the most taboo thing for the emperor is to mourn the mourning. Let's go to the side hall to put medicine, so hurry up and go back."

Ruyi returned to the hall, and Lu Yun was giving away the tremite lotus seed soup that Yu Yan drank during the afternoon rest. The women of Fujin seemed to have predicted that Lu Yun might have in the future, and they were also very flattering, just like stars holding the moon. In contrast, Ruyi, who slowly walked in, seemed much deserted. Apart from Yihuan, Yan Wan and Wanyin, few people smiled and greeted each other. For some reason, Ruyi was so quick that everyone changed so quickly, but Yihuan couldn't help saying: "I just passed by so late. I compassionately care for the hard work of keeping the souls of Fujin, so I personally sent the tremite lotus seed soup, and commended Concubine Chun for her hard work but was well-informed, and she had the style of a big shot. It was also said that although the third prince was underage, he was very capable of taking care of several young brothers and was very capable."

After Empress Xiaoxian's death, there was already a turbulent tide in the harem. The empress dowager praised her so much that she was undoubtedly more inclined to Lu Yun in her position. How could everyone change their minds without seeing the wind and compliment the pure concubine everywhere?

Yanwan and his few agreed, often saying something warmly around Lujun and Yuyan. Yanwan carefully brushed the dust on the corner of Lujun's clothes: "Sister Guifei carefully under your feet, it would be bad if your exquisite robe is stained with dust."

Lu Yun smiled discontently, accepted her attentiveness calmly, and said, "You can leave these things to the palace people, so that the nobles don't have to do this."

Yan Wan smiled and was about to speak, but when she heard Yuyan laughing suddenly, she raised the apricot green silk silk in her hand and said, "Sister Chun Guifei, don't worry, as the noble lady was originally from my palace maid, so it's the most appropriate thing to do these things."

Yan Wan is now quite favored. After hearing this, her face turned pale. When she saw everyone covering her mouth and laughing at her, she became more and more ashamed of being embarrassed and had to stop and avoid the person behind.

Yuyan smiled contemptuously, chatting with Lu Yun more and more enthusiastically, her hands danced like a butterfly and flew: "I don't know if I am pregnant with a princess or a princess. I was so nice to see my sister's fourth princess, and I was full of envy. The imperial physician also said that this baby looks like a female baby... I just want it, if a prince could have half of his sister's third prince..."

When the two talked about the child, they couldn't finish talking. Yuyan flattered Lu Yun again, which made Lu Yun almost unable to stop talking, and held hands with her intimately.

Yihuan looked at it from a distance, squinted her cherry lips and said, "One is so happy that she is flattered, the other is not virtuous."

Ruyi made a light gesture and laughed in a low voice: "You have the best temper! You are the most unlucky!"

Yihuan picked up the water blue and beat the yellow oriole eight treasure tassels and silk, and snorted, "I know what kind of temper I have, it's different from them." After that, He Xi came to invite him: "My master, it's time to take the fetal pill."

Ruyi was slightly surprised: "I remember that the emperor has not summoned me these days. Why do you still take this medicine?"

"Now I am probably eager to see my son. I begged the emperor twice, and then I delivered it for two days."

Ruyi knew the bottom of the situation, but she really couldn't tell it. She smiled and said with a smile: "No matter whether it is a fetal medicine or something, it's three parts poisonous, it's okay if you don't take it. The imperial concubine Huixian was eager to seek a child back then, and she often took a fetal medicine, but it was useless. It can be seen that everything is fake, and only favor is real."

There was a sweet smile on the corner of Yihuan's lips: "Actually, I know that the medicine may not be effective, but..." Her face, which had always been cold, was full of sweet and soft blush, as if the ice and snow had just melted, and the fuchsia spring morning, "But the emperor is kind to me and feels sorry for me, I know that she is even more shy after saying that, and hurriedly held He Xi's hand and left.

Ruyi was stunned in the local area, not knowing whether the expression on her face was happy or sad. She knew, only she knew, the emperor knew, and Qilu knew. But no one would say it, and she would not tell her. Such a distress, such goodness, how unbearable is behind her? She could only close her eyes, not say it, not look, not think about it, just treating herself as a piece of filth in the chaotic quagmire, and continue to be dirty. Only in this way can she preserve Yihuan's vague and gentle dream.

Seeing her stunned, Hailan took Yongqi over and said, "Sister, what are you watching Shupin do?"

Ruyi woke up and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's a bit tired." She saw Hai Lan bringing Yongqi over and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to take Yongqi out?"

Hailan looked worried: "I heard that Yongqi had two coughs just now, so I took him to the Imperial Hospital to see if I wanted to drink some loquat sprouts."

Ruyi stroked Yongqi's face lovingly and said, "Then go and go quickly, don't be on the road."

Hailan left Changchun Palace and led Yongqi to Xichang Street. Due to the inconvenience of mourning, only a close wet nurse and Ye Xin followed him. He walked to the corner behind Chuxiu Palace, but saw Yongzhang hurried towards the Imperial Hospital. She simply stood firm and said, "Yongqi, now you must listen carefully if your mother tells you."

Yongqi opened her eyes wide as if she understood and said, "Yes."

Hailan said loudly: "Yongqi, the day after tomorrow your empress's coffin will be moved to the Jingshan Guande Hall for a temporary maintenance. That day was a great gift. You must remember that you must not cry or be sad, do you know?"

Yongqi said in confusion: "Ko Concubine Xian's mother instructed her to cry with great sadness, otherwise the emperor would be angry."

Hailan bent down and said mysteriously: "It's usually the case, but the day after tomorrow, Concubine Xian will also tell you this way. That day, all the princesses will go to mourn, and everyone will cry very sadly. You are the only one who is calm and calm and does not cry at all, and your emperor will look at you differently. Because you are the only one who keeps sober and rational among all those who are crying and sorrowful."

Yongqi's eyes were a little confused: "Mom, why?"

Hailan said solemnly: "Because for your Emperor Ama, you not only lose your royal mother, but also your seventh brother, the legitimate son. So for him, getting a few filial sons is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to get a future prince who is not influenced by sorrow and joy. Do you understand?"

Hailan turned her head and stood not far away when she saw Yongzhang, as if she was listening to her conversation with Yongqi. Hailan immediately became a little panicked and held Yongqi's hand tightly to hide him behind her, saying a little embarrassedly: "Third Prince, why are you here?"

Yongzhang smiled distractedly and bowed humbly: "Empress Yu is in peace, good luck to you, my fifth brother."

Yongqi also called "third brother". Yongzhang touched his forehead and smiled, "I saw that my younger brothers had mouth sores because of fatigue. I thought there would be a major event for moving the coffin to the next coffin, so I couldn't get tired of my body, so I wanted to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some honeysuckle to boil water for my younger brothers to drink."

Hailan uncomfortably touched a snow-white crabapple flower on her temples: "The third prince is really interested. After all, he is a good child raised by the pure concubine."

Yongzhang waved his hand and said, "Empress Yu is too rewarded. I will take the lead there." He turned sideways, looked at Yongqi meaningfully, and left with a smile.

After Yongzhang finished everything, he returned to Lujun's palace. When he saw Lujun, he could not control his temper, so he told Lujun everything that Hailan told Yongqi. Lujun sneered: "I was a peace of mind as Concubine Yu, but I had this idea. I thought that Concubine Xian had made Yonghuang's idea, but now it seems that we underestimate her heart too much."

Yongzhang hesitated: "That mother means..."

Lu Jun caressed his son's braid hair and dressed him up: "Good son, Yongqi is still young, how much he can have. Even if he doesn't cry, he pretends to be an adult accent, he just thinks he is dazed and ignorant. Learn well. Even if Yongqi doesn't cry, his mother has the ability to make him cry."

Yongzhang sighed: "Thank you, my mom, for planning for her son."

Lu Yun said with a heartache: "You kid, you have said such a thing to your mother. If your mother doesn't love you, who else can you love? Although Yonghuang is also fostered by his mother, he is not his biological child. He is just taking care of his face. Good son, besides Yonghuang, you are the oldest among the elders. You have a mother. If you have the position of imperial concubine, everything is for you. You are willing to dig out your heart. Just make a good sigh for your mother, and you will be the crown prince if you win the favor of your emperor. What's more, we have a recommendation from the Queen of the Great Street before her death, so you must be careful."

Yongzhang said solemnly: "Don't worry, mom, mom's wish is my son's wish. That day, my son will comfort the emperor."

Lu Yun smiled confidently and said, "That's good. Mother has told you that Concubine Jia is a smart person and flatters her in everything. Although she is favored, she is Li Chaogong's daughter and will never expect to be the queen's honor in her life. As long as she is united with us, you will have a layer of protection." Her tone became more and more secret, "As for Yonghuang, the emperor valued him and asked him to preside over the funeral, but he was indifferent. You must pay attention to his every move. If you get the wrong thing, it will be easier."

Yongzhang smiled naughtyly: "My mom is willing to do it?"

Lu Yun was a little sad: "My mother is timid and soft-hearted, and Yonghuang is also her adopted son after all." She paused and took a deep breath, "But for you, Mother is willing to give up anything."
