Empress Huaishu of the Harem

Chapter 31 News from the Eldest Princess
Zhuru, who was standing and playing the fan, saw that the master was a little distracted, and said, "Recently, Fei Fei, the personal maid of Hemu Diji, took the opportunity to send the bird to the palace, and asked someone to find the servant girl, and she didn't say a word when they met. I knelt down and kowtowed, begging the concubine to save the life of my own Diji. I asked why the good-looking Diji asked for help. The girl was very happy, saying that Diji was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. Unwell, but the chief eunuchs in Mingyuan are very perfunctory, saying that they can only manage birds and beasts and will not serve the master. Gradually, even the food is the same as that of the female officials. Well, I’m afraid it’s not as good, but the emperor refuses to say it if he wants to be strong Mosquitoes are rampant this summer, the place I live in is not clean, and I have dysentery. Ming Yuan is full of veterinarians who tend to animals, so how can they treat diseases? Seeing that Di Ji is getting thinner day by day, she decided to come to the palace to beg the empress. "

"My sister is naturally distressed, but after all, it is Aijia who went out to blame and harmony, so that's why I came here to talk about it, isn't it?" Zhen Huan said very slowly.

Yan Yi was noncommittal, but just lamented, "In the final analysis, it is the concubine who did not teach harmony."

"Harmony's temperament is up to you, you and I know very well, why should my sister be arrogant?" Zhen Huan seemed to say something casually, and Yan Yi was startled when she heard it, but then she said: "But now Hehe is my sister's adopted daughter. , Your face, the Ai family will naturally sell it. She has been in the Mingyuan for more than a year, and now that there are no other beasts paying tribute, it is time to retire. Wait for the fifteenth servant to make a round, and bring her back."

Yan Yi was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly got down from her seat and half-knelt to thank her, saying: "Thank you sister, when He He comes back, the concubine will definitely discipline me strictly, uh, bring her to thank you."

Zhen Huan naturally asked Zhu Ru and Hua Yi to help her up, and said with a smile: "Sister, why should you be so polite? In the end, harmony is also a matter of diligence, and Xie En is unnecessary. As for discipline, it will be long in the future, so don't worry."

Yan Yi was also full of joy at first, but when she heard the Queen Mother's last words, she was startled, and already felt something, so she had to forcefully keep the smile on her face unchanged, and left according to the etiquette.

As Yan Yi's figure disappeared into the main hall of Yining Palace, Hua Yi looked at Zhen Huan who had no intention of confessing, and couldn't help but said: "Queen Dowager, why did you agree to the concubine so easily, She is restless, there are so many things going on in the palace now, what about Concubine Jing and Xun Fangyi?

Zhen Huan said coldly: "So what if you don't come back? After all, it is the late emperor's concubine. It is easy to be detained in Mingyuan or thrown directly to the cold palace in the long run, but why bother? Sometimes things in the palace really need Her temper is one or two. Since Wen Yi was back then, for the sake of the emperor, I also want to show some dignity to these former imperial concubines. Besides, the Hu family has fallen to such an extent, a concubine, let her go In the palace, I just want to see how she can churn? Just give Concubine Zhenyi a face, after all, she is not easy." After a pause, he said: "Ms. Xun is quite intelligent. As for Concubine Jing, no matter what, I have to wait until the child is born, and the Ai family can't feel at ease because the son has no heirs."

Yan Yi helped Zhuru out of Yining Palace, heaved a long sigh of relief, and ordered: "Go and prepare, I'm going back to Sanshou Palace anyway, it's been more than a year, and it's almost over." Zhuzhu Ru hurriedly agreed, thought for a while, and finally hesitated: "Your Majesty, I heard the meaning of the queen mother's words. Is it possible that you want to get along with the emperor..."

Yan Yi hurriedly stopped her, and scolded: "Just understand it in your heart, what is this place, be careful when you speak." But she herself sighed in the end: "You understand everything, but I can't understand, harmony, come on It will be twenty in the first month."

Zhuru also said: "When the servant girl came to inquire in the morning, I found out that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Pingyang summoned Empress Huaishu, and after Empress Hexin received a few Jinshi from Xinke, all of them were only fifteen or sixteen years old. The Empress Dowager is actually so caring. She is not afraid of courting outsiders if Hemu Diji is wasted like this."

Yan Yi said wearily: "What are you afraid of? Now it's not the Qianyuan Dynasty. At that time, she was a concubine, so she had to be afraid of it. Now you are the empress dowager, and with the emperor's filial piety, even big things can be suppressed. Besides, she won't see you anymore." I will really keep Hehe for the rest of my life. If I send away a dude casually, it’s not the girl’s family who suffers! But Hehe, I understand the suffering in this child’s heart, but what can I do? Putting aside current events, the Queen Mother told me Mother and son, thank you very much."

Zhu Ru comforted her and said, "Don't think too much about the concubine. The maidservant said a word of sarcasm. How can Empress Hemu be a sensible person? I'm not happy with you all day long. If you talk about filial piety, it's definitely not as good as Empress Huaishu. Are you willing?" It is the utmost humaneness to owe her back to the Empress Dowager. The servants are afraid that something will happen to Di Ji after a long time after she returns."

Yan Yifu sighed: "I am just doing my best and obeying the destiny. After all, the late emperor ordered me to take care of her. I only hope for a few years. Alas, the queen mother is so powerful, that is, what is left for her by others is good. It's gone."

No.1 is called the dividing line——
In the midsummer of the ninth year of Zhengzhang, we still spent it in Ziao City, which was extremely hot.It was only said to the outside world that it was because of the empress dowager's foot disease recurring, and taking care of the concubine Jing who was about to give birth.But everyone inside and outside knows that the real reason lies in the government.

In July of the ninth year of Zhengzhang, the Hehe Great Khan died at the age of 57.His seventh son, Muhando, succeeded Khan.He honored his adoptive mother, Zhenshi Yuyao, the current Empress Dowager's half-sister, as Wang Dafei.At the same time, he accumulated posthumous titles for his biological parents.Afterwards, the letter of credence was presented to the Quartet. According to legend, after the emperor received the long and cumbersome letter of credence, his brows became more and more frown, until he saw the last line of small characters: "The former prince and concubine Yong'an ruled the east. Account. Canonize the big concubine."

The Yan clan of the Eastern Account represents the position of the concubine in a prominent way.

I am able to understand such details, naturally thanks to Concubine Demu.Ever since she heard the news of Hehe Khan's sudden death, she, who didn't care about foreign affairs, suddenly became nervous, and often asked people to spend money to inquire about all the information about Hehe's regime change.

Until then, she breathed a long sigh of relief, but soon became worried again, "On the winter of last year, Yue'er added a little princess. Although she said everything was good, I listened to what others said. , it should be because of the bitter cold in winter that he was born to heal his body, otherwise, how could there be no movement until now. Yue'er is helpless over there, what should I do without a son? , there may not be no such reason in it.”

At that time, my concubine was leading me to be a guest in the Longevity Palace. Hearing what Concubine Demu said, she couldn't help but comfort me: "Sister Feng, don't worry too much. As the saying goes, flowers bloom first and then bear fruit. The eldest princess is only in her early twenties this year, so raise her first." I have two daughters, so it won’t be a good time to help take care of my younger brother in the future.” After a pause, he continued: “Take a step back and say that although my sister doesn’t understand the affairs of the court, she also knows that her mother’s family background is the confidence of a woman’s family. Back then, the Queen Mother Xu married the princess, but she clearly agreed to be the main wife. With Da Zhou around, what is the eldest princess afraid of?"

Concubine Demu still sighed and said: "Sister, you infer with common sense, but Hehe is a barbarian, how can they know etiquette and enlightenment? I heard that things like father's death and wife's mother often happen. What kind of nonsense is it? Tang, I’m 120 worried when I think about it.”

Concubine Mu thinks about it, but seeing Concubine De's sad face, she has no choice but to evade and persuade: "Emperor Ji, she has ideas and will take care of herself."
