Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

"I heard the Tao in the morning, and I can die in the evening. I am now, and I am the queen in the morning, and I can die in the evening."

With the last ounce of strength in her body, Tong Jiayixian left the queen's court dress sent by the House of Internal Affairs on the ground.

"Throw all these out for me. Also, first-class Duke Tong Guowei, please withdraw from Chengqian Palace."

The imperial concubine looked coldly at those servants who only knew how to protect themselves, knelt outside the door, and refused to do things according to orders, and couldn't stop laughing.

"Why, you don't obey the first edict given by the emperor's imperial decree, the empress's empress? Are you not afraid of beheading?"

"Empress, empress, please spare the servants. The emperor will come over as soon as he speaks. If you can't see Uncle Guo, if you ask, the servants will have nothing to say!"

Yixian did not expect that at the critical moment of life and death, the person who stood most firmly on her side was a noble concubine who had no blood relationship; In her official career, she is full of benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, so she must be forced to a dead end.

After struggling for so many years, I couldn't get rid of this fate after all.

"Sister, don't get angry with them. Come here, let's have a good talk."

The imperial concubine herself was actually ill, but she was supporting herself with righteous indignation, she felt top-heavy early on, so she took advantage of the situation and sat down to rest.

"Sister, wait for me to calm down, and deal with these slaves who have no masters in their eyes one by one."

"Forget it, they are only afraid of the emperor. Who in the world is not afraid? While this moment is quiet, let me tell you a few private words. A few years ago, I made a wrong idea. To you, to other concubines, what a blessing Mistakes. Now it is too late to accuse them one by one. My sister can help me."

"Hey, I'll definitely bring my words to you. In fact, sister, why bother to suffer so much. Uncle Tong Guo wants you to be a queen, at worst, just be. I've been an imperial concubine for so many years anyway, so what's the difference?"

After hearing the imperial concubine's question, Yixian closed her eyes bitterly.

This question has troubled her almost all her life.

"Most of the virtuous empresses throughout the ages come from famous families. Empress Changsun, Empress Dugu, and our Empress Hesheli, your sister Empress Niu Hulu. Because of this, the noble daughters from such families, with their bearing and knowledge, can be compared with those of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The Tong family can't blame the empress dowager for looking down on them. They are really petty. They can only see a little bit of big space in front of their own house. The emperor is the emperor of the whole world. I don't even understand his thoughts. Looking at this, I'm not worthy to be a queen. Even the imperial concubine, I'm not good enough."

While the two of them were talking, there was a message from the eunuch outside, saying that the imperial concubine was so angry that Tong Guowei begged to see her, and ordered the people she brought to guard the gate of the palace.

"With me here, he can't even think about coming in today. I'll go back to the emperor by myself! I've seen Ama, who is so angry with her own daughter. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to talk! Well, we have a noble concubine and a queen. Don’t move, isn’t the servant of Chengqian Palace rebellious? Come, go to Shoukang Palace and invite the Empress Dowager! I don’t believe it, there is no one in the palace to be afraid of!”

"No need to ask, I'm here!"

The Empress Dowager led all the princes and daughters, as well as dozens of nuns and eunuchs, entered the gate of Chengqian Palace, and went straight to Yixian's hospital bed.

"Uncle Guo, please go to Qianqing Palace to rest. If the emperor wants to ask, just tell me what I said. Chengqian Palace is too small to accommodate Duke Chengen. If he refuses to answer, I will write an edict."

Nanny Tong burst into tears, struggling to support the dying Yixian, the queen mother walked a few steps, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, holding her down and not allowing her to salute.

The princess is headed by the princess, the prince is headed by the prince, and the concubines are headed by the concubine. There are a total of three or forty people, kneeling all over the main hall of Chengqian Palace.

"Everything is up to me. You have a good rest. I am also careless. They don't tell the truth, I just think you are the same as usual, so you are too tired to rest. How do you know, that's it... After hearing the seal, I understand ..."

Yixian was finally convinced that her profit-hungry father could not enter her own house, she felt a lot of lightness in her heart, forced a smile, and explained the funeral to the Queen Mother.

"I'm not blessed after all. In fact, I can't be a queen. There are floods and droughts everywhere outside. In order to provide relief, the bank has almost bottomed out. Wouldn't it be a crime to make a fuss for me and cause the treasury to be empty? Please, Queen Mother, please be sure." Tell the emperor to keep everything simple. Eldest princess and fourth princess, come and talk to me."

When the eldest princess heard this, she quickly grabbed Hai Feng's hand and walked to the bed together on her knees.

"Greetings to Ernie."

"It's also good to be a queen. I can hear you two and call me Ennie. I don't have a son and a half. Fortunately, you two have been here in the past few years. You are more caring and considerate than your own. I brought in The dowry and jewelry in the palace, the savings of more than ten years, in addition to leaving a memory for the sisters, there are also scattered to the mothers and maids, the rest, you two, half of it, let’s make the dowry.”

Compared with Haifeng, the eldest princess stayed by Yixian's side for a longer time. At this moment, she could hardly stop crying, holding the handkerchief, sobbing, she could only nod her head to show that she understood, but she couldn't say a word.Yixian stretched out her hand to her, and the eldest princess hurried forward to grab it.

"Empress Dowager, the Eldest Princess will be 20 years old next year. There is no need to delay any more. By April next year, the emperor will have 27 months of filial piety. Please take good care of the Eldest Princess' marriage. Don't ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it for me, instead. neglected her."

Yi Xian's eyes slowly shifted to Concubine De who was kneeling in the second row, and she had a silent exchange with her, but in the end she didn't say anything, arranging what the fourth elder brother should do after she left.

"The emperor should make arrangements for palace affairs. If there is no purpose, call the chief concubine, and the four sisters on the concubine's position will help. The four princesses have always been smart. With her around, there will be no big troubles. I am very relieved." .Besides, Mother Tong, please take care of the Empress Dowager.”

"Naturally, whether she wants to leave the palace or stay, I will try my best to arrange it."

Nanny Tong knelt on the bed and kowtowed, begging the queen mother to allow her to guard the tomb.

"I've been serving my empress for 30 years, and I'm not going anywhere, just staying by my empress's side."

"Okay, I'll call the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange."

Yixian had exhausted all her worries, gradually lost track of her affairs, and fell into a drowsy sleep.The queen mother didn't dare to wake her up loudly, so she gave the imperial concubine a wink.The imperial concubine tugged on the sleeves of the eldest princess and Haifeng, and went out together to organize the follow-up delivery.

"The most important thing is that Tong Guowei is not allowed to speak up. With him around, the Empress will not be able to leave peacefully."

Hai Feng and the eldest princess didn't hear the ins and outs, so they hesitated to answer.

"Is it the empress who kissed Ama..."

"Really? The two of you didn't hear it, so it's called fresh. Our Cheng Engong, if he was a market trader, he could have exchanged his daughter for silver. He said, 'If you are not a queen, you are not allowed to be a queen. Your younger sister is so selfish, how can she be my daughter'. Now that these words have come out, is there any need to take into account the relationship between father and daughter?"

Haifeng and the eldest princess had no choice but to follow her instructions, and hurriedly searched for the stewards in Chengqian Palace and the officials on duty in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and took care of them one by one according to their experience in handling Xiaozhuang's funeral last time.

After working for more than an hour, Kangxi also came to visit, but Empress Tong never opened her eyes again to take a look at the little world she had lived in for 13 years, and at the man she had loved so much and was crazy about.

During her lifetime, she only served as a queen for eight hours.For this result, her father still felt dissatisfied.A year later, another daughter was sent to the court to continue to seek the privileges and glory of foreign relatives for the Tong family.
