Chapter 1936 Five Volumes 234 Two Hearts ([-] words completed)
In this May, the Imperial Army West Road and North Road Army launched a massive attack on Kazakhstan to hunt down Amursana.The emperor would never allow the past incident that the late Emperor Yongzheng allowed Luo Bu Zang Danjin to escape for more than [-] years to happen again. He vowed to capture Amur Sana, a traitor who surrendered first and then rebelled.

In life you want to see people, in death you want to take corpses!
In the middle of the court, the emperor also provided relief for the frost and hail disasters in the twenty prefectures and counties of Gansu last year.

It was under such circumstances that the emperor completed the selection of the eight banner girls.

In addition to referring to Fujin and the maid for the three princes, the emperor only selected one newcomer for his harem.

This newcomer is Niu Hulu, whose nickname is Yilan.

This Yilan from the Niuhulu clan, after Empress Xiaoxian and Concubine Xin, is another Gege from the Xianghuang Banner!
It is also from the Xianghuang Banner, and Yilan is from the Niu Hulu family. His great-grandfather is Ye Bilong, one of the four Gu Ming ministers personally appointed by Lord Shunzhi; Ah; my grandfather's sisters are Emperor Kangxi's Empress Xiaozhaoren and Concubine Wen Xi.

Grandfather Alsun'a is a second-class meritorious service minister, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment;
His father, Mu Kedeng, inherited Zuo Ling and was granted the title of second-class guard.

Such a family is so famous that even the empress dowager was incorporated into this family by the emperor.This Yilan is a junior from the same family as the Empress Dowager.

This family had produced too many famous officials in the Qianlong Dynasty.For example, before Fu Heng, Kui Naqin, the head of the dynasty, Celeng, who was the general of Dingxi in the northwest at this time, and Aibida, who had served as the governor of Guizhou, Yunnan, Shandong, and the governor of Jiangnan River, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ali Gun...

With such a family background, even if Yi Lan, Empress Xiaoxian, and Concubine Xin were born with the Yellow Banner, they are still incomparable to Empress Xiaoxian and Concubine Xin.

When the news that Yilan was "named on the record" came into the harem, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Even Concubine Xin, who had been her new favorite for three years, now had a dark cloud over her heart.

"The emperor is extremely filial, and all matters in the harem follow the empress dowager's benevolent orders. These concubines from famous Manchurian families in the harem all these years rely on the protection of the empress dowager, so that those Han women and women in coats do not mess with the rules. go."

"Just like when I entered the palace, I was promoted to be a concubine, and it was also the empress dowager's favor. Originally, I expected to be able to become a concubine or noble concubine with the support of the empress dowager... But look, this meeting happens in the womb. A Gege from Niu Hulu's family was selected. That is the younger generation of the Empress Dowager's own family! How could the Empress Dowager not support her younger generation, but still take care of me?"

Le Rong was also dejected, so she had to be careful to comfort her, "...Although the emperor left her signboard, he didn't tell her when to enter the palace. I'm afraid I have to watch it again, maybe the signboard will be put down when I look again. .”

Concubine Xin also sighed, "Putting the sign? Who are you to keep her sign? It must be the empress dowager's decision. Entering the palace is a must, but it's just a matter of time."

Le Rong lowered her head, "She was selected for the first time this year, that is to say, she is only 14 years old. Even if she enters the palace, what is the master worried about? The master now has a sixth princess, and that little girl will do everything when she enters the palace. No……"

It's fine if Le Rong doesn't say this, but when Le Rong mentions this, Concubine Xin immediately becomes ashamed.

"Sixth princess, my sixth princess... Heh, heh, haven't you heard that the emperor left a sign of Fu Qing's daughter, saying that it was only for the sixth elder brother Yongrong. The second battle between the Fu family and the royal family The marriage has been completed, that is to say, the favor of the Emperor General Fu Heng to resign from the Duke and Duchess has been fulfilled."

"I'm afraid, the emperor won't marry the sixth princess to Fu Heng's elder brother..."

Le Rong was also surprised, "Master, no!"
.
Concubine Xin's eyes were gray and white, and she looked out the window blankly.

"Naturally, I don't want to think that way either. But judging from the current situation, my worry is more likely to be true. After all, it is impossible for the emperor to just choose Fu Qing's daughter as the Fujin of the sixth elder brother Yongrong, and then immediately Just marry the sixth princess to Fu Kang'an. Otherwise, there are so many courtiers and foreign vassals, how many heroes are waiting for Princess Shang, how can the emperor just marry Fu Heng's family?"

Le Rong bit her lips lightly, "Maybe there is a turning point... At this time, Lord Fu was ordered to go to the northwest to rectify military affairs. If he can make meritorious service again, maybe the emperor will bestow a favor on him."

Concubine Xin gently closed her eyelids.

"Of course I think so too! I have never expected the imperial court to triumph as soon as possible regarding the use of troops in the Northwest."

But she also understands that even if Fu Heng still has a chance to make meritorious deeds, her six princesses have not lost all hope... But in the end, she has to wait patiently for the opportunity—the emperor can't be with her again within a year or two. Fu family marriage is.
.
June came quietly.

Wanxi's body is getting heavier and heavier, and the day of giving birth is approaching. Every day in the palace, she spends time with the two confinement grandmas, Wang and Xu, to learn the rules before and after giving birth.

When the concubine in the palace reaches seven months of pregnancy, the palace will send the moon-shouling grandmother and the moon-shouling doctor.The so-called "moon-shouping grandma", also known as "admission grandma" and "auspicious grandma" in the folks, is dedicated to serving pregnant women.From about one month before the puerpera gives birth, it will be with the puerpera, and should guide the puerpera throughout the whole process.

Even the "three washes" three days after the newborns go to the ground are carried out by these grandmas.

Some rich and noble families will keep their grandmas for a longer period of time, and even the little full moon, full moon, and even Zhou Zhou will be participated by these grandmas.

In the palace, the names of these grandmas are specially designated as "Shouyue Grandma". They are all old ladies who have given birth under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are specially selected to have full children and grandchildren, with good fortune and longevity.They have rich experience in childbirth. Before and after the birth of concubines in the palace, they can accompany the master, teach them a certain amount of knowledge, and personally operate during the childbirth process.

Because they serve the head of the inner court and welcome the emperor's heirs to the ground with their own hands, these grandmas who guard the moon are not ordinary old ladies under the Ministry of Internal Affairs who can be selected.Most of them are old ladies from the families of leading officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whoever understands the rules and does not need special education when entering the palace.And the fate of the children and grandchildren are all involved, so it can make people feel more at ease.

Wanxi has seen Grandma Shouyue come and go in and out of this palace many times before, but this is the first time she really gets along with Grandma Shouyue, and she feels both familiar and strange.

This month, Wanxi's happiest thing is that her mother Yang can come to the palace to accompany her.

Although according to the palace rules, Erniang still can't live with her in Yongshou Palace. Before the key is released every night, they have to go out of the Shunzhen Gate and live in a small courtyard near the northeast corner building, but at least they can get along every day during the day. together.

At this time, in addition to the two moon-shoulding grandmothers, Wang and Xu, there were four more mothers in Yongshou Palace who were dedicated to serving Wanxi during childbirth: Hu, Guan, Bai, and Yan.

As soon as E Wanxi's mother, Yang Shi, entered the palace, the first thing Wanxi asked E Niang to do was to ask E Niang to come and take a good look at the two moon-guarding grandmas and the four mothers in person.

Yang laughed when she heard this, patted Wanxi's hand and said, "Your master's 15 years in the harem were indeed not in vain. Hearing your empress order this errand, I feel relieved."

Yang, as the inner management leader of Fujin, had to enter the palace to participate in the rituals during the auspicious ceremonies such as the silkworm kissing ceremony, the canonization ceremony of the head of the inner court, and the concubine's Qianqiu.Therefore, although Yang Shi was not involved in these ways of the harem, he was well aware of them.

Wanxi snuggled into Er Niang's arms, and said softly, "In the past, the imperial concubine Shujia gave birth to the eighth elder brother Yongxuan, so I was worried that the grandmother who kept the moon would be unreliable. The eighth elder brother is so good, but his feet have become like that, my daughter Although there is no real evidence, no matter at that time or after many years of retrospect, I feel that the fault may have been caused by the grandmother who kept the moon."

"It's just that they are all old, with deep experience and rich experience. It's the first time for my daughter to meet Xixi, and even though she has some precautions in her heart, she doesn't know where to start."

Yang nodded with a smile, "Your worry is necessary. It's just... I can figure out some ways based on their surnames alone."

Wanxi was also surprised, "What did Ernie see?"

Yang nodded with a smile, "All of the six of them are Han surnames!"

Shouyue's grandma and mother are both selected under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are Manchuria, Mongolia, Korea, Eros and others.But the six people recommended by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time turned out to be Yishuier with the Han surname.This can't be a coincidence, it can only be said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the emperor, put their heart into this matter.

Wanxi also lowered her head and smiled, "...What did Ernie see? But the servant didn't see anything!"

Yang Shi laughed, reached out and hit the back of Wanxi's hand.

"I really don't know? Then I will give birth to this daughter in vain!"
.
Wanxi blushed and hugged her mother, the mother and daughter talked and laughed, feeling how time flies.Obviously Erniang came over early in the morning, but the shadow of the sun slanted westward not long after.The four women around Wanxi came in to serve in turn, serving tea for a while, delivering pastries for a while, and bringing in cushions for Mrs. Yang who was leaning on her waist...

These were not ordered by Wanxi, but what they wanted to do.In short, they are all extremely affectionate to their master's mother, and they are all filial as if they are their own old people.

Needless to say, Yang is affectionate to Yuye.

Because Yang knew that Yurui had grown up rapidly after the jade pot came out of the palace these years, she made up for the absence of the jade pot by her daughter; Xi too much to go.Therefore, the Yang family's affection for Yurui is like the affection for Yuye.

Among the four women, two were particularly close, so it was inevitable that they seemed a little cold and distant from the other two.

It's just that Yuhan has such a peaceful and non-controversial temperament, and he is also old, so it doesn't matter.

It's only Wu Niu who is uncomfortable.
.
Originally when Yang Shi entered the palace, Wu Niu thought that with her old qualifications, Yang Shi would definitely treat her like Yuye.She also took the initiative to bring tea and water, looking for various opportunities to go to Yang's eyes.

But Mrs. Yang didn't say much to her other than holding her hand and asking how she was in the palace, and passing on the greetings from her mother's family.Wu Niu felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Mrs. Yang has only entered the palace for one day, and Wu Niu was so sad that she did not take the initiative to enter the palace to serve her in the evening.

Even Yuhan delivered tea twice, and asked her to come in to deliver it, but she sat there and refused to move.

"Auntie, why bother me? Why don't you call Yuye and Yurui. Didn't you see that the two of them have sharpened their heads and sneaked in front of Fujin and the master. I don't want to spoil their good deeds, and I don't want to appear as if I want to It's like competing with them."

Yuhan was not surprised by Wu Niu's temperament, so he smiled and persuaded, "What are you talking about? Aren't we all the girls around the master? Whoever sent an extra cup of tea and a bowl of cheese is all their respective duties."

"Besides, why did you forget that you are still a first-class woman. In terms of status, everyone is below you. If you don't go for the job at the threshold, who else can go?"

Wu Niu snorted, "It's an errand, so I naturally did my duty. But the master and Fujin haven't called me once, so it can be seen that the master and Fujin may not be able to use me. Then call the two nobles Use whoever sees who is strong."

Yuhan couldn't help but sigh quietly.

Now that the master is about to give birth, it really shouldn't be Mao Tuan'er and Yu Ye who are leaving the palace, but this one.

It's just that Yuhan also understands that Wu Niu is the person pointed out by the queen.Unless the empress took the initiative to mention it, the master could not go to the empress and say that he wanted to get this person out of the palace, otherwise he would be charged with the suspicion of committing the following crimes.
.
Yang also saw Wu Niu's appearance.

While there was no one in the hall, he whispered to his daughter.

"...She has never been convinced by you since she was a child. She always feels that what you have, she should also have; what you both have, she must be better than you. Now you are a concubine, but she is a woman in your palace , how could she be convinced?"

"You said you should look carefully at the two moon-shoulders and the four mothers. But in my opinion, these six people don't need to worry too much. From the fact that they are all Han surnames, we can see that the emperor and the Ministry of Internal Affairs Be careful. These six people must have been selected carefully, forgive them for not daring to do anything easily."

Yang glanced lightly out of the window, "It's a five girl... I think it seems to be more dangerous than those six outsiders."

Wanxi nodded, "My daughter understands. It's just that my daughter has been waiting for an appropriate time and reason."

Yang frowned after thinking about it, "...Yeah, she made it clear that she was a nail placed by the queen by your side. It is said that the relationship between you and the queen has improved a lot in the past few years, why can't the queen What about letting Wu Niu out of the palace?"

Wanxi took a deep breath, "The improvement in my relationship with the queen is also because I have lost the threat to her. Now she has two legitimate sons by her side. Let alone never having children before, it's just that she is happy now." , and can't hinder her."

"But her guard against me has not been eradicated. Especially now that my child has not been born, she is even more guarded. Therefore, it is impossible for her to take the initiative to release Wu Niu out of the palace at such a time .”

Wanxi's eyes drooped slightly, "...my daughter has to think of another way."
.
Her daughter's pregnancy has already reached this month, how can Yang be willing to ask her daughter to go to great lengths for a fifth girl?
After thinking for a while, Yang patted her daughter's hand lightly, "Leave this matter to your mother."

Wanxi's eyes lit up, "Er Niang has a good idea?"

Yang sighed softly, "In the past few decades, I have been entering the palace continuously, and I have not stopped watching these things in the harem... I still know something about the wrists in the harem. I used to be disdainful, but now In order to protect my daughter, Huizi, I will do anything!"

Yang Shi and Wanxi stayed together for a few more days, deliberately staying away from Wu Niu.Wu Niu became more and more unhappy, so she took a chance to visit Concubine Xin secretly.

In these years, none of these inner court dignitaries, whether they are friends with Wanxi or enemies, have sincerely treated her well.Luckily, Concubine Wan and Concubine Qing said that they were sisters with Wanxi, but none of them had any affection for her at all!

Over the years, there was only one concubine Xin who took her seriously.
.
Because of the fire in the east side hall of Yikun Palace, during the few months when Concubine Xin lived in Yongshou Palace, although she was very polite to everyone in Yongshou Palace, she kept calling Yuhan "Auntie" and sweetened Yuye and Yuhan. Sweet is called sister.But Wu Niu knew that if Concubine Xin was closest to anyone, it would naturally be her.

Concubine Xin is right, Concubine Xin is young, although she is from a famous and beautiful family, her Ama died a few years before entering the palace.In this harem, if the emperor remembers her old love with Ama, he will be able to treat her better; but once the emperor forgets about her old relationship with Ama, then she may have nowhere to stand in this palace and be bullied by others at any time.

She still remembered that Concubine Xin, who had just entered the palace at that time, wept sadly in front of her, "...to tell the truth, Fifth Sister, the fire in my bedroom couldn't have been an accident. Or someone wanted to return the empress, Or maybe someone is trying to kill me."

"I am the youngest in the palace now, and I have no experience at all, but those people want my life! Fifth sister, the only place I can stand now is the Yongshou Palace, and the only people I can trust are the people in the Yongshou Palace."

"It's just that sister Ling still has a job with the internal affairs. She has to assist the queen and take care of the entire harem. Naturally, she can't be with me every day... But I'm so scared. Sister Ling will only be away from Yongshou Palace for a while. I was terrified. Even at night, I would always have some nightmares, as if those people were still unwilling, and would chase me to Yongshou Palace to burn me to death..."

At that time, Concubine Xin was young and helpless, weak and weak to Wu Yi in front of Wu Niu.

At that time, Concubine Xin only held her hand tightly, and said gratefully with tears in her eyes, "Fortunately, in this Yongshou Palace, there is Fifth Sister with you. It is because Fifth Sister is better than other sisters." Still busy, but Fifth Sister has never forgotten to come to ask me and accompany me..."

This established the relationship between her and Concubine Xin.

Concubine Xin would discuss with her privately and ask her for advice no matter what happened to her.Almost obeyed her.

And Concubine Xin will keep a portion of whatever good things she gets; even in terms of money, she will allocate an extra five taels a month for her to keep.

Over the past few years, the respect that Wu Niu failed to get in Yongshou Palace has been gained from Concubine Xin; the affection for sisters that Wu Niu has been missing from Wan Xi has also been found from Concubine Xin.

What's more, in this harem, only Concubine Xin doesn't treat her as a slave.She should have been better than Jiu'er in everything since she was a child, but now in the palace, Jiu'er is the concubine's master and she is a slave. This imbalance can't be made up for by anyone... Only Concubine Xin gave it to her. She has enough respect and attachment.

Sometimes she even couldn't help thinking, if Jiu'er was like Concubine Xin, it would be great.
.
In the Imperial Garden, Concubine Xin held Wu Niu's hand with a smile, "Fifth Sister sit down quickly. Only in Yongshou Palace, in front of Ling Sister, Fifth Sister is a slave."

"But in front of me, Fifth Sister will always be my sister, so please sit with me."

Wu Niu twitched a few times, and then sat down facing Wanbi.Looking up, she saw Le Rong and Le Yi, the first-class women beside Concubine Xin, still standing.

Wu Niu felt very comfortable.

Concubine Xin glanced at Wu Niu with a smile, and said softly, "After all, I live in the Queen's Palace. If Fifth Sister comes to see me, the Queen will definitely know. I have nothing to hide, and the Queen's master is just tolerant, but I I'm afraid that the little ghost will be in power, and I wonder if there is anyone around the queen who insists on misleading our meeting."

"What I'm most afraid of is causing trouble for Fifth Sister. After all, Sister Wu is from Yongshou Palace, and Sister Ling is the owner of Fifth Sister; but Fifth Sister was pointed out by the Queen's master to enter Yongshou Palace. Ruo Wu My sister often comes to the Queen's Palace, and it's inevitable that my sister will think that Fifth Sister is secretly communicating with the Queen and reporting everything about her to the Queen..."

"So after thinking about it, I didn't dare to ask Fifth Sister to meet me in my bedroom. It's better for us to avoid people's eyes and sit in the imperial garden."

Concubine Xin shyly and coquettishly turned her body towards Wu Niu, "Fifth Sister, don't be offended."

Wu Niu laughed, "Look at what Master Xin said! This is Master Xin's consideration for the servant, and the servant is naturally grateful, so how could he come up with such ideas!"

Concubine Xin nodded with a smile, "Fifth Sister is so kind. Me, in this harem, the only way to speak in front of Fifth Sister is not to worry about making mistakes."

Concubine Xin quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Wu Niu, "... Even in front of Sister Ling and other sisters in Yongshou Palace, I wouldn't dare."

Concubine Xin's words helped Wu Niu a lot, so she snorted and said, "Master Xin still treats Master as her own sister, but this time Master Yuxi is about to give birth, and her mother-in-law has come into the palace again. You didn't even say to invite Master Xin to come and sit down, and guarded the gate of Yongshou Palace like an iron bucket, so you didn't even ask Master Xin to come in, did you?"

Concubine Xin raised her eyebrows lightly, but her head was lowered, "...Actually, I also understand the reason why my sister did this. After all, she only had her first child after 15 years in the palace, so she must be careful about everyone and everything on."

"Although I regard Sister Ling as a life-saver, I wish I could pay back with my own life...but Sister Ling is still guarding against me like someone else. Although my heart aches, I still——understandable .”

Concubine Xin burst into tears when she said this.

Wu Niu sighed, "Although the slave is from Yongshou Palace, the slave can't help being worthless for Master Xin at this moment. If it is said that sisters love each other deeply, Master Ling is the first person who forgets his roots—I It's not like we were sisters when we were young, but now that she says she forgot, she has already forgotten about it!"

　See you tomorrow.Thank you guys~~~
