Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 1948 Five Volumes 247
Yuqin understood, clapped her hands and smiled lightly.

"Look, all the imperial daughters of Ming Dynasty have shaved their foreheads and hair on top of their heads. They only have buns on both sides of their heads. This appearance is clearly no different from that of our Seventh Princess."

Yuqin stared at Concubine Xin and smiled, "Who said that the imperial daughters of the Han people never shave their hair since childhood? It is clear that there is no distinction between Manchu and Han. The imperial daughters in the palace have long had the rule of shaving their hair."

"If someone wants to use the matter of shaving their hair, and thinks that there should be some kind of Manchu among the princesses, then it is really a waste of ideas!"

Concubine Wan also smiled and said, "Concubine Xin is probably unintentional. After all, Concubine Xin is young, and her vision and experience are limited after all. She has never seen this painting before, and she doesn't know the rules of the Han people, so Didn't know that."

Concubine Wan even patted Concubine Xin's hand with a smile on purpose, "Ignorance is not a crime, Concubine Xin should read more books from now on, so as to better understand the culture of the Han people."

"If after this incident, I can understand the profound culture of the Central Plains from now on, so that Concubine Xin can be as obsessed with Sinology as the emperor, then this incident is a blessing for Concubine Xin, and it is also a good thing."

Wanbi said, took Wanxi's hand, stared and smiled, "This is your elder sister who taught you another lesson in life."

Wan Xi smiled and only looked into Wan Concubine's eyes, not Xin Concubine.

Concubine Xin's embarrassment in front of so many people was beyond words.

Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Xin from a distance, the corners of her lips naturally raised.

"...She wants to emphasize that the seventh princess has half Han blood, while her sixth princess is of pure Manchu blood in the Xianghuang Banner, so as to distinguish the difference between the two little princesses. It is her sixth princess who is honorable." Concubine Shu tilted her head and said to Zhu Lan beside her.

"Since the seventh princess was born, the limelight of her sixth princess has been completely overshadowed. She has always wanted to save face in front of everyone. If she doesn't fight for herself, she has to fight for her sixth princess. After all The two little princesses are only one year apart, and in the future they will be involved in various important matters such as marriage."

"Of course her idea is correct, and the method is not wrong. She just underestimated Lingfei's management in the palace for so many years--Lingfei is from Xin Zheku, and her surname is Han. This is her disadvantage. But since she entered the palace, she has deliberately accumulated contacts. Now the concubines Wan, Qing, and Ying are all on her side. Concubine Chun is on good terms with her, and she was able to resolve the conflict with concubine Yi back then. Now she is in the palace There are already extensive roots here.”

As for Concubine Xin, she was envied by others when she was born, and because she was young and thoughtful, she didn't bother to make friends with others when she entered the palace.This is relying on fighting alone, no matter how high the background is, how can he be the opponent of the concubine Ling and the others? "

Concubine Shu's words were based on her own experience.Looking at Concubine Xin today, it was like seeing herself back then.Such a young and arrogant person, thinking that with his noble family background and the love of the empress dowager, he would naturally be able to win the emperor's favor, have children in the harem, and be promoted to the throne.

But now...everything has come to naught, and when she sees a concubine Xin who is just like herself back then, not only does she have no sympathy, but there is nothing but ridicule besides a little sadness.

Zhu Lan also said, "If she is sensible, she should have taken the initiative to make friends with the master since entering the palace. Based on what the master has seen in the palace these years, it is enough to give her some advice."

"It's a pity that she can't see through it. Even if the master took the initiative to give her a chance, she still doesn't know how to flatter her!"

Liang Yue also said, "No! Let's just say that she has been thinking about getting married to Kang Ge'er all this year. Why does she always forget that our master is Kang Ge'er's close aunt! With our master's help, she That wish may have come true long ago!
Concubine Shu snorted softly, "So you say, is she smart?"

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and Concubine Shu still holds a folding fan with goose feather and ivory strands in her hand, and gently fanned her cheeks.

"With her brain, it means that I once had the heart to befriend her, but looking at her in the past few years, how can she be worthy of my attention?"

"Forget it, let's just watch from the sidelines and watch her think she's smart, so let's go it alone!"

Concubine Shu finished speaking, but smiled and walked to Wanxi, waving a goose feather fan, and nodded with a smile, "This child's custom of shaving his head since he was a child is not divided into Man and Han. Because the child's head is full of fire, if the hair When it grows full, the fire in the body will be suppressed and cannot disperse. It will inevitably add to the disease over time."

Liangyue looked at her master, and couldn't help muttering to Zhu Lan in a low voice, "Master, this is...?"

Zhu Lan laughed, "After Elder Brother Shi passed away, our master is different from the two of them after all. After all, they both have princesses, but our master has no children. Therefore, the most urgent thing for the master at this time is to It is necessary to have a child, not to compete with them for the short-term short-term."

Liang Yue was startled, "Child?"

She naturally knew that the master wanted another child, especially the prince.But... with the emperor's attitude towards the master, is it possible for the master to regain his favor and give birth to a prince?
Zhu Lan laughed, and gently pushed Liangyue, "Where are you thinking! Why is the master trying to embarrass himself now, and has to go up the most difficult road?"

"This is the harem, who said that children have to be born by themselves?"

Liang Yue's eyes lit up, "You mean, the master wants to raise the prince?"

In fact, Concubine Shu has long taken care of the eldest grandson of the emperor and Prince Ding, Mian De.It's just that Mian De is ten years old now, and this age is no longer suitable for entering the harem; besides, this age is the time when the masters and masters in the study room are strictest, and Concubine Shu "takes care of her" The function becomes more and more inconspicuous.

What's more, Miande still has his own mother, not a child without a mother.Yonghuang's descendant Fujin Yilali took very strict precautions against Concubine Shu's attempt to meddle in Miande's affairs.Coupled with the fact that Concubine Shu had clearly fallen out of favor at this time, Yilali had already told her son many times in private to keep a distance from Concubine Shu.

Moreover, ever since the emperor's second grandson, Mian'en, suddenly saved face for the royal family by asking the emperor to reward him with a yellow jacket because of the archery contest last time in the autumn, Mian'en has suddenly emerged. Little by little, the second son catches up with Mian De, the eldest son born in the same line.

Seeing that Mian De's status is gradually not as good as before, Concubine Shu also has the heart to give up Mian De.

At this time, Concubine Shu had no choice but to turn her mind to the existing, motherless prince in the palace.

Zhu Lan blinked and smiled, "When Imperial Concubine Shujia passed away, elder brother Yongxuan was still young, and imperial concubine Shujia entrusted elder brother Eleven to Concubine Ling...but this time Concubine Ling will personally How can the emperor ask her to continue raising the eleventh elder brother to raise his own seventh princess?"

"Therefore, elder brother eleven must be handed over to other masters to be raised. At this time, the only ones above the concubine position who have no children are our masters. Elder brother eleven must be raised by our master. This is a certainty Son. It’s just that Brother Eleven is still under the name of Concubine Ling at this moment, if our master wants to bring Brother Eleven over, the Emperor must ask Concubine Ling what she wants.”

Only then did Liangyue understand, she nodded with a smile, "...So no matter what the master thinks about Lingfei at this moment, it is worth standing with Lingfei for the sake of elder brother Eleven."

"That's the reason." Zhu Lan said with a smile.

Liangyue raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Xin, "Oh, then this Concubine Xin is even more pitiful. At this time, only our master may join hands with her in the palace, but it's a pity that our master can't take care of her now. Her , just fight alone!"
.
Concubine Xin watched Concubine Shu also stand next to Wanxi, she could not help being happy on this face.

Even though the smile was filled with bitterness, she couldn't let the bitterness come out.

She had to laugh, laughing so that no one could see her bitterness.

She glanced at Wanxi and said, "It's August [-]th in a flash, and the Seventh Princess is already full moon. If my sister is confinement, it's naturally time to go out and see the wind."

"Speaking of which, sister Ling can go to Rehe with the emperor!"

When Concubine Xin said that, everyone's eyes turned to her.

Concubine Xin smiled even sweeter, "Originally the emperor ordered to go to autumn in August, I thought the emperor would follow the usual practice of the past, and he must arrive at the Summer Resort before August [-]th. Summon the Mongolian princes and envoys from the foreign vassals, and give a banquet on the Longevity Festival."

"If that's the case, it's only natural that my sister is not on the driver's list."

Concubine Xin's eyes fluttered and her smile was sweet.

"But who knew that the emperor left late this year, and actually lived his long life in the capital... Then since sister Ling is already out of the full moon, I can take my sister with me!"

"I guess, before tomorrow, the emperor will issue an order to replace one of the six people who have already booked, and fill in the order again..."
.
Since this year is an important year for the pacification of Amursana, most of the concubines the emperor chose to accompany him were related to this.

Except for the empress who must perform her role as the mistress and serve the empress dowager herself, she must accompany her. Among the other five, the concubine Ying is from the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and Ama, the auspicious nobleman, is the surrendered Junggar Zaisang and Echang. Here is E Rongan's niece.

In this way, the position of concubine, nobleman, and Chang Zai are all there, and the remaining two are naturally chosen between the position of imperial concubine and imperial concubine.

Therefore, the pure imperial concubine naturally accompanied her, and there was another concubine Yu who also came from the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Such a list has nothing to do with the emperor's own preferences, but more reflects the consideration of the Northwest War.But in the end, as a woman in the harem, whoever doesn't want to be thrown in the palace for a few months by the emperor wants to go with her.

After all, this can also be regarded by outsiders as a sign of whether they are favored or not.

Therefore, this meeting is called Concubine Xin's suddenness, and the few people in the original lineup, except Concubine Ying, are inevitably a little dazed.

Concubine Ying snorted softly when she saw it, "If this is the case, then I will naturally ask the emperor to ask me to stay in the palace. You are curious about grasslands and walks, but I have been so long since I was a child. Big one, it’s really nothing. I’d rather stay in the palace..."

Concubine Ying couldn't help but cast her eyes on Seventh Princess, her eyes softened, "I'd rather stay in the palace and play with Seventh Princess!"
.
Concubine Ying's words made Wanxi's eyes brighten.

I don't know if it's because of becoming a mother, but she feels that her heart is wider and softer now, and her eyes are easier to moist.

She lowered her eyes, blinked away the tears in her eyes, and reached out to hold Concubine Ying's hand.

"Gao Wa, you're talking nonsense. Not to mention that I will never be able to replace you, and besides, I have to take Xiao Qi with me at this moment."

Wanxi's raising her own child is not simply raising her, she also has to feed the child herself.

Wanxi's cheeks were reddish, and her posture was full of happiness. She leaned into Concubine Ying's ear and whispered, "...she is tired of me, and she won't smell me for a while, so she will stretch out her little hands to grab my clothes. If I accompany you I went, did I take such a young girl with me?"

Rehe in August is already cold, how can a child who has just been full moon withstand such a toss.

Concubine Ying nodded with a smile, blinked at Wanxi, and said in a low voice, "I just can't understand her innocent face, but she squeezes water everywhere. She just provokes others, As long as I am still here, I will definitely not let her succeed."
.
The emperor not only spent the Longevity on August [-]th and the full moon of the Seven Princesses on August [-]th in the palace, he did not officially set off for Rehe until August [-]th.

Wanxi sent the emperor's car, the empress dowager and the empress's phoenix car.Looking at the banners and umbrellas covering the sky and the sun from a distance, Wanxi's heart is also full of reluctance as she walks further and further away.

During these years in the palace, every time the emperor went on tour, she was always by his side.After 16 years in the palace, he finally experienced what it was like to watch him go on a long journey in person.

Like Concubine Xin, she thought this matter would make her sad.But in fact, Concubine Xin didn't know, she had tasted this kind of taste long ago.

Standing on the tower, Wanxi seems to have returned to 16 years ago. She is not standing on the tower at this moment, but in the flower field.

At that time, she was not yet 14 years old, and she had just begun to fall in love. She still didn't know what to see the back of the man leaping away. Despair, the most painful confusion.

Now that she is 30 years old, her mentality is no longer comparable to that of the ignorant little girl in the past; what's more, this time she knows clearly where her fourth master has gone, what he is going to do, and when is the return date.

Therefore, at this moment, the heart is also sad because of the parting, but this sadness can no longer be compared with that of the past; for her at this age, it is not a big deal.

It's a pity that some people want to see her sad, but in fact she is sad at all.

What's more, at this time, she still has her precious daughter by her side - to put it mildly, at this time, her daughter has just been born, and she really has everything.At least for the moment, she still feels that the girl is more important.
.
Empress Nala is gone, only Concubine Xin and Lin Guiren are left in the Empress Palace.

Concubine Xin is naturally in charge for the time being.

Concubine Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was not able to drive with her this time, although she felt a little bit sad, but she didn't regret it.

The seventh princess has been born, and the horn of the battle between the princesses has sounded.She stayed in the capital for a while, so it happened to be able to think more about her sixth princess.It also saves that if you drive with you, you can stay for a few months and come back. The foundation of the Seventh Princess has been stabilized.

"At this moment, there is nothing to argue between my concubine Ling and me. She has been in the palace for 16 years and is still a concubine. She gave birth to a princess at this time, because she was childless in her early years and became a concubine, breaking the ancestral rules Go, so she naturally has no hope of being granted the title by virtue of the Seventh Princess this time."

"I didn't get the title for the sixth princess, and she didn't get the title for the seventh princess. She and I are still on the same foundation, and neither of us can make further progress."

Concubine Xin looked out of the window, and Lin Guiren lived in the side hall opposite.

"What I'm fighting with her now is only the matter between the two princesses. The emperor's favor is one aspect, and the other aspect is the matter of marriage."

Based on Lingfei's friendship with Jiufujin these years, how could Concubine Xin not be worried that the Seventh Princess might be accused of marrying Fukang'an?

Lin Guiren's side hall was quiet, just like Concubine Xin's usual appearance in the past few years since she lived in the Queen's Palace.

Concubine Xin lowered her eyes, "So what we have to fight for at this moment is to be the first to assign the sixth princess to Fukang'an!"
.
Le Rong, Yue Yi and others naturally understood this truth.

It's just... how to fight?
Not to mention that the emperor doesn't seem to have such thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen Fu Qing's daughter and assigned it to the sixth elder brother Yongrong when the Eight Banners women were selecting, and used this marriage to make up for Fu Heng's resignation The second item is the Duke's favor.

Besides, apart from the emperor's thoughts, Jiufu Jin had a better relationship with Lingfei.If Fu Heng and his wife were asked to choose, they would probably want to refer to the Seventh Princess even more, right?
Concubine Xin stopped here, and suddenly pointed to Lin Guiren's side hall opposite her and asked, "...you said Lin Guiren had some old grudges with Ling Concubine in the past?"

Le Rong and Le Yi were originally women in the Queen's Palace, and they were both women who served as rough envoys to Lin Guiren.After Concubine Xin lived in the Queen's Palace, the two of them had a chance to rise to the top and became the first-class women served by Concubine Xin.Therefore, regarding the past grievances between Lin Guiren and Wanxi, although the two of them don't know what's going on, they can vaguely grasp the wind and shadow.

Le Rong replied, "... Exactly. Back then, the queen's master tried to recommend Lin Guiren to the emperor. Lin Guiren also won the emperor's favor for a while because of her appearance as a Han girl. I went to accompany the driver in the palace. I just heard that it was the concubine Ling who ruined the good thing, and instead asked the emperor to demote Lin Guiren to be a permanent presence."

"Your Lin fell out of favor, and the empress's master started to fight for her own belly. After giving birth to children one after another, there is no need for nobleman Lin to compete for favor and hold on to her favor. The empress therefore abandoned nobleman Lin aside."

"Your Lin also knew that he was useless, so he fell silent. Especially after the master came into the palace, nobleman Lin lived in seclusion, as if there was no such person in the palace; Naturally, we also cut off contact with Concubine Ling."

Concubine Xin thought it was interesting, so she couldn't help asking, "Look at it, Mr. Lin took the opportunity to come down, when did it start?"

Le Rong and Le Yi briefly mentioned the year, and Concubine Xin lowered her head and thought about it, then she couldn't help laughing.

"I think of something, I don't know if it has something to do with it - that year, the emperor ordered the Han army to raise the flag for the livelihood of the bannermen. Lin Gui's family was originally from the Han army of the Eight Banners, and her family is also raising the flag list."

"She originally belonged to the Eight Banners Han army. Since her family is no longer a bannerman, what is she going to do in this palace? Isn't she reduced to a pure Han girl just like Concubine Qing and Concubine Yi?! "

Le Rong and Le Yi looked at each other and then clapped their hands together.

"Master is wise, why didn't the servants think of this!"

Concubine Xin lowered her head, "... She is also pitiful. She has been bullied by Concubine Ling in the palace for so many years, but because of her low status, she dare not resist at all. Now that her family has raised the flag again, she has become the most humble Han... Girl, I dare not make a sound even more out of breath."

Concubine Xin raised her eyes lightly, "You tell me, how about I help her for a while?"
.
It is the end of August, and the full moon of the seventh princess has passed.

It was time for Wanxi's mother Yang to leave the palace, and the day for Yuye to leave the palace also came.

Wanxi just asked her mother to take Yuye back with her.

Such a relationship between master and servant for two times in this life will be cut off with a sword at this time and here.

Taking advantage of the busy days of the emperor's departure and the busy affairs of the House of Internal Affairs, Yang and Yuye also stole today's stop.

After all, after August [-]th, the Ministry of Internal Affairs officially came to inform Wanxi through the palace supervisor, and asked Yang and Yuye to leave the palace before the end of August.

Wanxi understood that the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had given time for more than ten days in the middle, and they had already seen enough of her face.

"It's just because the emperor, the empress, the empress dowager, and the pure concubine are not in the palace at this time. Before the emperor left, he entrusted me with all the affairs of the harem, and the Minister of Internal Affairs took another ten days to go. .”

"But the more the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is like this, the more we can't make mistakes. Yuye, you are the last to get things together. Before August 25, you can go out of the palace."

When Yu Ye heard it, she fell to her knees and burst into tears.

"I always thought that waiting for the master to give birth, and then waiting for the little master to be full moon, the days are still far away. But how come you come to me all of a sudden? Master... the slave is really reluctant to leave."

"In the past, I was reluctant to part with the master, but now I am even more reluctant to part with the Seventh Princess... If the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs allows the slave to wait until the end of August, the master will ask the slave to wait until the end of the month, not five days earlier, okay?"

Wanxi also shed tears.

Yu Ye stepped forward and hugged Wanxi, "Master, please don't shed tears...Master is still raising the seventh princess herself. If you shed tears now, there is a risk of returning the milk; even if you don't return the milk , or maybe he got angry, and told the Seventh Princess to eat the milk that was on fire, and that slave will never be redeemed by death."

Wanxi wiped away her tears and hugged Yuye gently.

"Er Niu, I can't bear to part with you. It's just that this is not the place for you to stay... In my opinion, it's better to let you leave the palace safely one day earlier than to ask you to stay by my side for one more day. "

"Let's go, don't delay any longer. Besides, we may not have a chance to see each other in the future - you are a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if you become a Fujin under the leadership of the Internal Affairs Department in the future, you will be like my mother, and you will have more chances to enter the palace. "

Only then did Yuye bow again with tears in her eyes, "I understand now... I will listen to my master and go out of the palace with Fujin on August 25."
