There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 298

The emperor is just such a son, if he is not appointed as the prince, who will be established?

The four palace figures are all in awe, and the concubine Bai has a big appetite.

"As long as this matter is done, you will be free." Bai Xiang'er was bleeding in her heart, but if she wanted them to do things, she had to give them benefits. She was not Queen Qian, and they didn't owe her anything, at most she was doing a favor.

If you want to do this big thing, you have to give them full benefits. Money is useless. She knows what they want.

Isn't that freedom!

Empress Qian took advantage of their weaknesses. As long as they finished this matter, she would give them freedom. From now on, everyone will be fine.

That's what they're asking for.

"Okay, let's help the empress, but after that...the empress must keep the promise." These four people are all old palace people in the palace. Although they are old, they are deeply rooted. have a hand.

"It must be done well." Bai Xiang'er said: "As long as there is news of a critical illness over there, I will give you what you have always wanted.

"Yes, empress!" The four gritted their teeth and nodded.

On this day, Wu Youwei had just returned home, and Wantong had not yet returned. In the scorching summer, there were a lot of ice cubes in the house. Wu Youwei was enjoying the coolness. When it was cold, it was put on the saltpeter to make ice, and after it was frozen into ice balls, it was taken out for the master to enjoy.

"It's hot!" Wu Youwei stuck out his tongue and took a big mouthful of mung bean soup.

"Yes, it will be fine when it rains." Butler Wanfu wiped off his sweat: "Your Excellency hasn't come back yet, what would you like to have for dinner?"

"Over-water noodles." Wu Youwei ordered: "Let's add more cucumbers and more green onions and garlic."

"There are watermelons growing in the well, have some after dinner?" Wanfu housekeeper knew the master's temper very well.

"Hmm..." Wu Youwei spread out on the bamboo couch, wearing a thin layer of clothes, wishing he could lie down on the iceberg.

Wantong didn't come back that night and was on duty in the palace.

July and a half, Hungry Ghost Festival.

Wu Youwei went back to Moling Mountain Villa to worship his ancestors and set off river lanterns, which was very lively.

And at this time in the palace, it was also very lively.

The weather is sweltering today and it's the Ghost Festival, the emperor didn't want to waste any more time, so after finishing all the memorials, he smiled and said to Wan Tao: "Let's go to the harem, and you can go out of the palace after dinner.

Wantong hadn't seen the eldest sister and the children since the solar eclipse, and it was strange to miss them. In addition to the Hungry Ghost Festival, river lanterns and other sacrificial activities, he followed the emperor to Zhaode Palace after he finished his work.

During the Hungry Ghost Festival in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, in addition to worshiping ancestors and related activities such as performing rituals, setting off river lanterns, and admiring lotus flowers in the palace;

In addition, the seasonal food in the moon palace is to eat shad, and there is also a grand event to watch lotus.

There is a custom in the palace, Concubine Bai brought the eldest son to attend, while Concubine Wan brought the two princesses and hugged the second son.

Some of the concubines of the princess brought their princess costumes to attend, and two pregnant concubines were also surrounded by people, serving them carefully.

When the Queen Mother Zhou saw the princesses in the circle, the smile on her face was forced. When she saw the eldest son of the emperor, she frowned. Concubine Bai asked the nanny to hold the eldest son of the emperor, and she dressed herself beautifully. The peony bun was full of beautiful things, and the golden hairpin was inlaid with treasures.

Look at Concubine Wan again.

Concubine Wan was dressed frugally, without any jewelry on her hands, with a few jade hairpins on her head in an ordinary flying bun, and a peony flower made of jade. She didn't even wear any earrings, because the little prince would catch Wan Concubine's ears.

That's right!

Concubine Wan is holding the little prince by herself, and the little prince is lively and active, ahhhh, Concubine Wan is coaxing very patiently, while the eldest princess is carrying the fifth princess, who is a small one, but she doesn't like it. Hugging, only running in front of and behind my sister.

The little upside-down braid is as cute as a ginseng doll.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Zhou felt joy in her heart: "Xiao Wu, come, come to the imperial grandmother.

"Huang Ba..." The fifth princess bounced over and said in a childish voice, "Greetings to the emperor's grandmother."

Originally wanted to be a lucky body, but because she was too small, she sat down on the ground!

"Ouch!" The Empress Dowager Zhou was overjoyed, and stretched out her hand to support the fifth princess: "Does it hurt from the fall?"

"It doesn't hurt!" The fifth princess stretched out her little hand and touched her buttocks: "It doesn't hurt at all!"

"This child is real." Seeing this scene, Concubine Bai said to Concubine Wan with a smile, "Why is sister holding the second son? What does the nanny do? It makes sister tired, but you are the only ones asking! "

It is clear that the child is tough, but in fact he accuses the dignified fifth princess of being as naughty as a wild child in the country.

And obviously he felt sorry for Concubine Wan's hard work, but in fact he was secretly mocking Concubine Wan for being a servant, carrying her son around by herself instead of being hugged by the nanny, as if Concubine Wan was made to be a nanny.

Concubine Wan has a good temper, and she smiled: "Of course I have to hold my own son, but what's the point of giving it to outsiders?"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Zhou felt that Concubine Wan was right. If she hadn't had to, she would not have entrusted the one-year-old emperor to Wan Zhen'er's care.

At that time, sensitive people were dying every day

So much so that now the mother and son cherish the time they spend together every day.

"We are imperial concubines, not daughters-in-law of ordinary people." Bai Xiang'er didn't like this tune, she just wanted to live a life of being a servant and servant, and beat others when she was not feeling well.

"A concubine is a concubine after all, a concubine of the royal family." The Queen Mother Zhou said, "The queen is still here, Concubine Bai, what about your etiquette?"

When she came just now, Concubine Wan had already brought the two princesses and the second son of the emperor to visit the Queen, but Concubine Bai brought many people over, but did not greet the Queen.

She didn't even greet the queen mother

Because Concubine Bai gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, several beauties and nobles in the palace took refuge in her name. It was only because of the incident of Concubine Guan back then that it was not a secret. Except for these few who had no choice but to take refuge in her, everyone else Hesitating, Concubine Bai is too harsh on people, Concubine Guan lost her child in her palace that year.

At that time, Guan Concubine was still Guan Meiren. She was pregnant, but somehow she had aborted the child.

Not only did she lose her child, but she also hurt her body. From now on, she will no longer be able to have children. Can Concubine Guan not hate it?

Concubine Guan was also a favored woman, and she had some power in her hands. At that time, Concubine Bai was relying on her own family background, so she was found out after an investigation.

Concubine Guan can't avenge herself, but she can secretly spread some words to let people know what Concubine Bai is like.

So even though Concubine Bai had the eldest son of the emperor, few people sincerely took refuge in her, which made Concubine Bai a little embarrassed in the palace for a while.

"The concubine took care of the eldest son of the emperor and neglected the empress, please forgive me." Concubine Bai saluted the empress with a coquettish smile.

But Queen Wang didn't call out, but asked Concubine Bai in a deep voice: "Concubine Bai, Zhenghong is the color of the royal family, and the golden peony hairpin on your head is inlaid with red treasures, what's the meaning?"

Concubine Bai was taken aback, then immediately took off the golden hairpin on her head, looked at it, and sure enough, it was a red ruby: "The concubine was negligent."

"You must abide by your duty." Queen Wang dealt with Concubine Bai unceremoniously, although it was only verbal.

But he also poured a bucket of ice water on Concubine Bai's arrogance.

Queen Wang didn't reprimand Concubine Bo for no reason, but Queen Wang noticed just now that when Concubine Bai was mocking Concubine Wan, the Queen Mother was unhappy.

That's right, the Empress Dowager was also born as a court lady, and she was a female official who held lamps for the late emperor at the beginning.

There is no doubt that Queen Wang is smart, that's why she didn't give Concubine Bai any face here, and she came here as she pleased, and Concubine Bai who reprimanded her was ashamed.

The Empress Dowager Zhou didn't care, instead she looked at the second son in the arms of Concubine Wan.

The second son of the emperor is very big, and his appearance really resembles that of the late emperor. In addition, this baby is small, but very lively, with big black eyes that are piercing, so cute no matter how you look at it.

The eldest princess has already started to grow her hair, and the fifth princess likes to be with the eldest sister the most.

And the eldest princess fully embodies her status as a big sister, sitting with several princesses, especially looking like an elder sister, taking care of several younger sisters.

Empress Dowager Zhou really liked it more and more.

After the Queen finished training Concubine Bai, Concubine Bai was honest on the surface, but secretly swore in her heart that when she became the Empress Dowager, the Queen must kneel at her feet!

The Lotus Appreciation Banquet begins. In fact, the female family members are at the side of the lotus pond, looking at the lotus flowers, eating shad, and setting off river lanterns at night.

At this time, the emperor came, bringing Wantong with him.

Wantong is a foreigner, and he has a dining place alone with Zhou's father and son and other relatives. When Zhou Ying saw Wantong, he sneered and approached him. Now that he is married, it is because his reputation has improved a lot, and the emperor wants to see him. him.

"Brother Wan." Zhou Ying has matured a lot now, and her temperament is no longer obscene, but she is still a little scared when she sees Wantong. He will always remember that foot on the Lantern Festival that year.

"Young Master Zhou." Wantong always called him Young Master, never affectionately.

He held Zhou Ying's shortcomings in his hands, so Zhou Ying didn't dare to get close to Wantong. After saying hello, he sat at a table, ate some pineapple, drank some Pu'er tea, and watched the women's relatives put their hands full. River lights.

Wan Zhen'er set off the river lantern, and the child was naturally handed over to the nurse next to her.

Put a lotus lantern that has been made a long time ago in the canal, let it go slowly with the water flow, and silently recite in my heart: May the world be peaceful;

After making a wish, Wan Zhen'er took over the second son of the emperor, but she didn't notice that the one next to her was not an old lady from her palace...

After July and a half, Wu Youwei returned to the capital, and Wantong could finally rest. He came out of the palace and was replaced by Fang Hongzhuo.

Fang Hongzhuo now has thousands of households. For this reason, Fang's family loves Wu Pei'er even more, and they all say that Wu's daughter is prosperous.

Wu Youwei also went to have barbecue with him several times in the evening. Dechuan Hot Pot Barbecue Restaurant has opened ten restaurants in Beijing, and eight branches in Zhili, and Overseas Louzhonglou has developed together with Dechuan.

However, the staff employed in these stores are all employed, rather than bought slaves, and the first people were also freed from slavery...

The heat was stuffy" for a few days, and finally it started to rain in the evening. At first, it rained lightly, and Wu Youwei breathed the moist air: "But it's cooler.

There is a strong wind in the rain, which makes it cool a lot.

"It's been raining for the past few days, and I can hardly breathe." Wantong also likes that it's raining.

The two of them were sitting around the window to enjoy the rain and enjoy the cool air. When the atmosphere was just right, Butler Wanfu hurried in: "My lord, Master Li Qing is here."

"Li Qing?" Wantong heard that it was Li Qing, and quickly pulled his shoes off the bamboo couch: "Why is he here?"

Because Li Qing is very smart, and because he is related to Wu Youwei, Wantong let Li Qing manage their news channels. Facts have proved that Li Qing is really capable, and he sorted out almost all the news immediately. Then take it out for everyone to discuss and refer to.

He had already made up his mind that if Li Qing and Wan Xinpeng did well, he would mention them as thousands of households.

Wan Xinpeng is leading people to act. He is not very smart but has excellent force.

Wu Youwei also heard that Li Qing was coming, but it was obviously something important, so Wu Youwei went to say hello to Wan Tong, and was about to go back to the bedroom.

As a result, as soon as Li Qing saw the two of them, he frightened the two of them with one sentence: "My lord, quickly enter the palace, the second son of the emperor is critically ill!"

It was windy and windy outside, with lightning and thunder.

Wantong's face was very pale, and Wu Youwei's eyes widened...
