Before Xu Nian opened his mouth, Yong Lian leaned softly in Xu Nian's arms, and said in a loud voice: "Huang Ama, I can't eat by myself, I have no strength in my hands."

Hongli glared at Yonglian angrily, and sighed in his heart: Such a stupid son is really my prince!He said in a cool tone, "I don't have any strength in my body, but I'm full of energy when I speak!"

As soon as the little guy saw through the help, he immediately looked at Xu Nian as if asking for help, his eyes were blinking, he was so cute.

Xu Nian put Yong Lian on the bed with a smile, Mingyu took away the dishes in a timely manner and stepped back, Xu Nian walked to Hongli's side, gently pulled his sleeve, smiling like a spring flower, "The concubine should do more today." I ordered a steamed egg with shrimp paste, does the emperor want to give it a try?"

"Then I'll do what I can, and try the queen's craftsmanship." The folding fan in his hand shook slightly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he glanced at Yong Lian proudly, the cheeks of the angry little guy puffed up, but he Lang laughed.

"Okay, he's your own son!" Xu Nian pulled Hongli out of the East Nuan Pavilion, and gave him a slight look.

The amorous look of this glance touched Hongli's heart invisibly, but neither of them knew it.

Although he has not been in contact with Hongli for a long time, Xu Nian has probably got his finger on the pulse. He has a delicate mind and always sees through without telling the truth. Very attractive man.

While Hongli was eating steamed eggs with shrimp paste, Erqing came in holding a tray with both hands. In the tray was a stack of rice paper with words written on it, and a few pieces of extremely valuable jewelry. He said that he was bribed and instigated by someone, so he secretly opened the window of Dongnuange at night, making the second elder brother's condition worse, thus..."

Erqing, at first glance, looks inconspicuous, holding a tray with a very submissive appearance, like a young maid who has just entered the palace, but she is the big palace maid next to Fucha Rongyin, with a high status and weight. There are only a handful of ladies in the palace.

Xu Nian's expression became serious for a moment, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who ordered it?"

Er Qing seemed to have something to hide, she glanced at Hongli secretly, Hongli put down the bowl in his hand heavily, the sound of the white porcelain bowl hitting the table was dull, "Say! What are you doing looking at me? How can I cover up such vicious things?" People can't."

"Yes, it's Concubine Gao." Er Qing stammered.

Xu Nian picked up the stack of confessions and examined them carefully, his expression became more and more ugly. After a while, he slapped the table heavily with one hand, causing the teacup on the table to tremble slightly, "These slaves are so courageous!"

It turned out that Xiao Yinzi, who was in the same room with him, also vaguely knew what Xiao Button had done, and even the two sweeping maids in Yonglian's room also noticed something was wrong, but no one wanted to report it, and they were still covering each other.

"To be a slave, the most important thing is to be loyal and protect the master." Hongli took away the stack of confessions in Xu Nian's hand, and said in a cold tone: "Since you can't even do these things, what's the use of keeping them. Li Yu , all were executed with sticks, and all the palace servants in Changchun Palace were sent to observe the punishment, I want them to know that this is what they will end up with if they betray their master."

"Cha!" Li Yu looked at Hongli's face as dark as a pot at the moment, tried to shrink his figure, and left in a hurry.

"Come here, Concubine Xuan Gao come here!" Hongli ordered.

Not long after, following the chorus of the eunuch outside the door, a concubine with heavy make-up, supported by a maid, walked into the Changchun Palace in a stately manner. The woman was dressed in a dark green dress, inlaid with beads and jade, and her ear Three precious oriental bead pendants, a string of jadeite bracelets made of eighteen green beads and two tourmalines are wrapped around the wrist, especially the big wings on the head, which are full of jewels and inlaid with silver. The emerald butterfly and the ruby ​​peony are both lifelike. With her steps, the butterfly flutters and the peony trembles, indescribably luxurious.

This is the noble concubine Gao Ningxin who is in full swing in the harem.

"The concubine respectfully invites the emperor's holy safety, and the empress's empress Jin'an!" Concubine Gao Tingting walked gracefully in front of the two of them and squatted down to pay her respects. , without waiting for Xu Nian to call out, he got up on his own.

Xu Nian didn't bother with her about this kind of thing, Hongli raised his hand and threw the stack of confessions on her smiling face, "Look for yourself, look at the good deeds you have done! You can still see The face is smiling here?"

The ironclad evidence is like a mountain. Faced with these, Concubine Gao's legs softened, and she knelt straight at Hongli's feet, with tears in her eyes, but her panic could not deceive anyone, "Your Majesty, this is a frame-up, someone wanted Frame the courtiers and concubines, and ask the emperor to show us." He said, and looked at Xu Nian with meaning.

At this time, Concubine Gao was still thinking about grabbing the queen, Hongli's eyes were red with anger, and she kicked Concubine Gao out. She lay on the brocade carpet with her shoulders covered, and looked at Hongli in disbelief. .

"Come on!" Hongli's voice sounded like ice and snow in the cold winter.

Before Hongli could give any further instructions, Gao Ningxin's eldest court lady, Zhilan, knelt down and took all the crimes on her body, "I have been serving my master since I was a child, and seeing her love the emperor so much, I secretly said to her every day. God is sad, but the emperor only sees the queen and the second elder brother of the Changchun Palace. The servant was angry for a while, so he bought the little button, and asked the emperor to learn from him. The slave did not want the second elder brother to die, but just wanted him to get worse. The empress is too busy to take care of the emperor, please forgive me!"

"It's a bunch of nonsense! Clever words, pretentious excuses, come here, let me drag her down and chop her up! Murdering the emperor's heir, the crime should be punished, and her clansmen will be sent to Ninggu Tower as slaves." Hongli sternly said Commanded, seeing Zhilan being dragged out by the guards like a dead dog, and hearing her miserable cries for help, Gao Ningxin took two steps towards Hongli, but Hongli didn't give her a chance to beg, "As for you, Your Majesty If you are not strict, you will cause the maid who is close to you to murder the emperor's heir, and you cannot escape the guilt. From now on, you will be demoted to Concubine Ning, and you will be punished for [-] years. You will be banned from the Palace of Beauty for three months, and your salary will be fined for one year. I hope you will take care of yourself."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." No matter how Gao Ningxin wailed, Hongli was not moved at all.His punishment for Gao Ningxin was already very light, if it wasn't for her father Gao Bin and the Ertai party behind Gao Bin murdering the emperor's heir, not to mention that Yong Lian was still the crown prince himself, this matter would be enough for her Died a hundred times.

Gao Ningxin's father, Gao Bin, was extremely capable in the previous dynasty, and he belonged to the Ertai family. Now, the Manchu ministers headed by Ertai and the Han officials headed by Zhang Tingyu are fighting endlessly in the previous dynasty. The relationship between the factions has reached a state of tit-for-tat.The former court and the harem are always closely related, so any decision made by Hongli must be carefully considered. He is not only a father, but also an emperor, and he has to look at the overall situation to make choices.

Gao Ningxin looked at Xu Nian resentfully, and Xu Nian looked at her without evasion, her eyes were sharp, Gao Ningxin realized at this moment that the queen had changed, and she was no longer the soft and bully look before, "Noble, Oh, Concubine Ning was fined to copy the palace rules a hundred times during her confinement."

Xu Nian looked at Er Qing, "Go and serve Concubine Ning, and come back to serve after she finishes copying the palace rules a hundred times."

Erqing glanced at Xu Nian in horror, and Mingyu beside her pushed her, and she hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.

He said he was going to serve ink, but in fact he was going to monitor and urge Concubine Ning to copy the palace rules. When she arrived at Concubine Ning's Chuxiu Palace, how could she have any good fruit to eat?Even if she was sent by the empress, Concubine Ning still has ways to deal with her and vent her anger.

Er Qing raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Xu Nian, but met her knowing gaze, and with just one glance, Er Qing knew that she was finished.

Xu Nian is such a smart and sensitive person. Er Qing is usually very obedient and abides by the palace rules, but occasionally the extreme desire for status and the disdain and contempt for the little maids in her eyes can be easily detected. She has Qing Yunzhi in her heart, and now she is so dedicated to Xu Nian, but because she likes her brother Fucha Fu Heng, she wants something from herself.

One day, if Xu Nian can't satisfy her wish, I don't know how she will bite herself back in resentment, Xu Nian will not keep such a poisonous snake by her side, and send her to Gao Ningxin's side, after that, it will depend on her fate , Changchun Palace, she will never come back.

Sure enough, within two months after Erqing went to Chuxiu Palace, she was caught by Concubine Ning stealing things, and the stolen goods were taken away, she was beaten with a board, and died of fever within two days.

"Mother, Erqing has gone." When Xu Nian heard Ruyu's report, he was sitting on the couch playing jigsaw puzzles with Yong Lian. Sending some money from her family can be considered as my friendship with her master and servant."

Ruyu is Xu Nianxin's eldest palace lady, she has a calm temperament and a good manner of doing things. She was sent into the palace by her stepmother, and she has no worries outside the palace. She helps Xu Nian with palace affairs on weekdays.At the same time, Cuiyu and Moyu were also brought up. Cuiyu is good at medicine and has a baby face, which is very small. Food, refreshments and incense are all handed over to her; Moyu is ordinary-looking, quiet, and looks like a water village. The girl who came out of the garden had superb embroidery skills and was in charge of Xu Nian's clothes and jewelry; as for Mingyu, she was simple-minded and a bit stubborn, but she was very loyal to Xu Nian, so Xu Nian took the jasmine flowers in the courtyard Let her take care of it. The jasmine planted in the yard is Fucha Rongyin's favorite flower.

Up to here, Xu Nian has already arranged all the palace maids around her, all of them are loyal and capable, and the Changchun Palace is also taken care of by her as airtight as a fortress.

"Your Majesty, I found that there is something wrong with the incense burning in this house. Although it is not fatal, it will make people weak and sick from time to time if used frequently." Cuiyu whispered in Xu Nian's ear.

Xu Nian checked her own pulse. She has used these incenses for many years, and a small amount of toxicity has accumulated in her body.These incenses were all given to her by Concubine Chun. Fucha Rongyin and Concubine Chun were close friends in her boudoir, and they married Hongli one after another. In this huge harem, the person she trusts the most is Concubine Chun.

Xu Nian whispered a few words in Cuiyu's ear, and let her go down to do it.
