Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2276 Six Volumes 331 It's time to finish (seven thousand words)

In March, Empress Nala's silkworm ceremony was held.

The emperor sent Concubine Shu, Concubine Qing, Concubine Ying, and nobleman Lan to accompany Nala family to the Beihai Silkworm Altar to fast and salute.

It will take several days before and after this trip before returning to the palace.

When the emperor's decree comes, the six palaces will all speak in the palace of the empress in Yuanmingyuan.After hearing the emperor's will, Nala was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and cast a glance at Wanxi.

"Concubine Chun is weak, and it has been a while, we all know it, that's all. Since Concubine Chun can't go, Concubine Ling should always go with me... Concubine Ling is now The body is also healthy, why not go?"

At this moment, Wanxi's stomach is not yet pregnant, so Wanxi is happy to avoid it again.Wanxi nodded with a smile, "...the silkworm kissing ceremony is a grand ceremony in the harem, and it is most appropriate to have the empress and the empress personally salute. It doesn't matter."

Concubine Shu listened quietly, with half-closed eyes, she said, "Master, does this dislike me for not being as caring as Concubine Ling?"

Since Concubine Shu fell out of favor, it has been a long time since Concubine Shu took the initiative to speak on such occasions.At this moment, he made a sudden sound, even Nala was slightly surprised.

Nala smiled, "How could it be? It's just that everything in this palace is based on the rules of seniority and inferiority. Although Concubine Shu and Concubine Ling were named concubines together, from the canonization ceremony of the concubine back then to the emperor's daily rewards Concubine Ling is always at the top of the concubine position, before you, Concubine Shu. Therefore, I have to go ahead of you and ask Concubine Ling first."

If it was in the past, based on such a sentence alone, Concubine Shu would have to fight the queen and Wanxi.

But today, Concubine Shu, who is also over thirty, just smiled lightly.

"That's what it should be. After all, let the concubine enter the palace first, and she has already given birth to three imperial heirs. No matter what, she should be ahead of me."

Wanxi understood Concubine Shu's intentions, so she said with a smile, "Why does Concubine Shu say that? It sounds like a bad idea. If it is said that the concubine is above the concubine, it should naturally be Concubine Yu who walks in front."

Concubine Shu also raised her eyes to meet Wanxi's.

The two of them knew each other, but now in front of everyone in the Six Palaces, Concubine Shu's eyes were still as cold as before.

"Concubine Ling doesn't need to be humble. With your current situation, you are only the third person in the queue after the empress and the pure concubine. Now the master and the empress are going to salute at the silkworm altar first, and even fast and salute. It takes at least five or six days to come back; Concubine Chun is weak, if you don't stay in the palace and take care of the affairs of the sixth palace, then who do you expect?"

"The emperor still doesn't trust me to take care of the Liugong, so he still asks me to follow him to salute, and still leave the Liugong to you."

When Concubine Shu said this, Nala deserved to raise her eyebrows, "...Concubine Shu is right, it woke me up a little bit. Yes, the emperor must have asked Concubine Ling to stay at home and take care of her."

Nalashi turned her face and looked at Wanxi seriously, "Concubine Ling, the most important person in the palace to take care of at this time is naturally a noble person. She is pregnant with a child and everything is hard, so you should help her pay more attention."

"In addition to the nobles, there are also two well-behaved women who have just entered the palace. They are all Mongolian princesses. They have just come to Beijing and are not used to everything. I also want you to ask me more on weekdays, so that they don't What's short?"

Wanxi stood up with a smile and gave a blessing, "Don't worry, the mistress, the concubine must be careful."
.
When the crowd dispersed, Yuqin couldn't help holding Wanxi's hand with a look of resentment on her face.

"Why does the emperor want me to go with you to salute this year? You are in such a body, I have gone with Concubine Ying, and Sister Chen still has to take care of Xiaoqi, who will help you?"

Wan Xi comforted with a smile, "Kissing silkworms is a grand ceremony in the harem, and concubines who can go to salute in everything are naturally valued by the emperor. It's not the first time for my sister to go back, so don't worry."

Yuqin frowned, "It seems that Concubine Shu is helping you with your conversation, which makes me breathe a sigh of relief. But if Concubine Ying and I are gone, who knows if Concubine Xin is in the garden, there will be some monsters coming out! "

Wan Xi shook her head with a smile, "Sister, listen to me, because of the Northwest War, the monarch and his ministers are united. In the first month, Zhejiang merchants took the lead in raising 20 taels of silver and sent it to Gansu; just a few days ago, Shandong merchants again Raise 30 taels of silver to 'prepare the need for payment' and send it to Gansu."

"Sister, look, from the 19th year of Qianlong's reign when all the ministers opposed the emperor's use of troops, to the fact that businessmen all over the world are donating resources to support the war... The people of the world have completely turned towards the court."

"The so-called favorable time, place and people are the most important thing. Even if there is a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse in the sky, but with such a united will, why worry about not winning in the Northwest? Businessmen in the world can do this, why can't my sister accompany the queen?" Are you going to pay your respects?"

"At this moment, the emperor asked my sister and Gao Wa to accompany the queen to the silkworm kissing ceremony. This is a good thing. My sister must go happily and sincerely... This year's silkworm kissing ceremony is extremely meaningful It is not comparable to previous years, my sister must be calm."

Yuqin blushed from Wanxi's words, and quickly covered her face with her hands, "Oh, I know, don't say any more—I'm ashamed to death."

Wan Xi nodded with a smile, "I dare not speculate about the Emperor's heart. But, I just think that at this time of year, if my sister and Gao Wa can go with the Queen together, it will only be a good thing, and there will be no harm at all. Don't worry, sister. "

Yuqin also sighed softly, "Since it's a good thing, you should go anyway. It's not because the emperor pityed you that you have twin bodies again... Anyway, I will go for you."

Yuqin made up her mind, then narrowed her eyes slightly, and glanced at Wanxi.

"What you said just now, I can hear something else-you said that the Zhejiang businessman took the lead in donating money in the first month. Does this have something to do with that concubine Xin's brother-in-law An Ning?"

Only then did Wanxi smile softly, "My sister is really sharp, I can't hide anything from my sister."

Yuqin spat, "Didn't I just talk to you about Concubine Xin? Why can't I get in touch at all?"

After all, Yuqin's father suffered a great loss from An Ning back then, Yuqin was really heart-wrenching, how could he forget it.

Wanxi nodded, raised her eyes mischievously and winked at Yuqin, "An Ning wants to get involved with such a good thing. It's a pity that he is the chief envoy of Jiangsu; and the donator is a businessman from Zhejiang. !"

"Not only does this matter have nothing to do with him, the emperor also issued a decree a few days ago, blaming the Jiangnan No. [-] Weaving Institute for sending silk satins and other items that are too extravagant. The Zhejiang businessman's donation of silver has nothing to do with An Ning However, the emperor's decree is directly related to An Ning - he is the chief envoy of Jiangsu, and the official is located in Suzhou, so he is also in charge of Suzhou weaving."

Yuqin also breathed a sigh of relief, "Now Xinpin's Ama has passed away for many years, and the most important thing in her family is this elder brother-in-law. The last time she returned my father in the south of the Yangtze River, it was An Ning who did it specifically. The emperor's current meeting Beating the side drum is a warning. If Concubine Xin knows how to restrain herself because of this, it will be a blessing to her."
.
In March, the Nala clan took his concubines to perform the silkworm ceremony, while the emperor performed the "Planting Ceremony" in Fengze Garden in Taipei, Xiyuanying.

The male farms and the female weaves, implying that another spring will come, and the human heart and all things will recover together.

The country is unified, and all industries are waiting to be prosperous, so people can't help but follow along with them.

The garden became quiet because of the absence of the queen and those concubines.Concubine Yu and E often sit together this day, and can't help talking about Concubine Shu who went to kiss silkworms together.

Concubine Yu said, "Look at it, what did Concubine Shu mean when she said that day? She seems to have the intention of thawing with Concubine Ling?"

E Chang was thinking with his head down, "...that makes sense. After all, Fu Heng's third elder brother is in the imperial concubine's palace at this moment, and he is Concubine Shu's nephew and nephew; besides, Concubine Shu raised Yongxuan. And Yongxing beat the child in the imperial concubine's palace."

Concubine Yu nodded, but couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"That's right, it's all for my own children, so I put down my own concerns and get close to Lingfei."

E Changzai knew what Concubine Yu was worried about, so he smiled lightly, "Concubine Yu, don't worry. Then Yongxing, after all, is the child of a Korean girl, and is incomparable to our fifth elder brother."

"That's right." Concubine Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't say anything else, just say that Sun Hao, the minister of the Han Dynasty who just turned against the dragon scale and made the emperor so angry that he wrote a long edict to refute it, he is in the study room, It is Eighth Prince Yongxuan's master. Master is criticized by the emperor in this way, Eighth Prince will naturally lose face, and Yongxuan's position in the Emperor's heart can be imagined."

The eighth elder brother Yongxuan is the second son of the imperial concubine Shujia, and he and Yongxuan are brothers in this life.Therefore, when Yongxing first entered the study room, many of the lessons at the beginning were also taught by Sun Hao.

Concubine Yu said so, but there was still a knot in her heart—after all, the imperial concubine Shujia had been buried in the Mausoleum of Empress Xiaoxian (before the emperor was buried, it could only be called "Empress Xiaoxian's Mausoleum" according to the patriarchal clan system, and the imperial concubine Shujia had already been buried in the Mausoleum of Empress Xiaoxian. The emperor can officially call it "Yuling" after a hundred years), so there is always a theoretical possibility to go there.

——After all, the biological mother of the prince who will inherit the throne in the future will also be buried in the underground palace.

Concubine Yu slightly squinted her eyes, "Emperor Shujia has three princes left in the world: the eldest son Yongxuan, no matter in terms of the rank of the prince visiting the mausoleum or the attitude of the emperor, he is not as good as our Yongqi; This eighth elder brother, Yongxuan, was born with legs like that, and now Master is being scolded again... I'm afraid it won't work."

"In the final analysis, among Jin Jingsong's children, the only one who can worry me is Yong Xing. Since Yong Xing is currently being raised by Concubine Shu, if Concubine Shu wants to fight, I have no choice. Be on your guard."

After all, Concubine Shu has a noble family background, she is a minister of the Yehe tribe, and her status is enough to become the emperor's mother; if Concubine Shu wants to fight for Yongxuan, she has more confidence and capital than Concubine Ling's Yongxuan.

Calling Concubine Yu to be like this, E Chang also followed with some drumming in his heart, "If you want to come this way...then the emperor suddenly asked Concubine Shu to replace Concubine Ling this year, and accompany the queen to the silkworm ceremony-could it be said that the emperor was special? Is there any other meaning?"

Concubine Yu raised her eyes and looked quietly at E Changzai, without speaking.

E Chang let out another thud in his heart, "I remember that the previous few times, Concubine Yu accompanied her to go... But this year, even if Concubine Ling couldn't go, the emperor didn't ask Concubine Yu to go. They asked Concubine Shu to go with them—then, does that mean...?"

Concubine Yu grew grass in her heart, so she frowned, "Anyway, that Yong Xing is still young, so he can't compare with our Yong Qi; besides, he is the same age as the Empress' Yong Xing. Just don't use us." To guard against him, the queen must guard against him first."
.
In March, Fu Heng's nephew and Fu Wen's eldest son, Mingrui, returned from the Northwest Army Camp to report to the emperor the details of the Battle of Kuqa, the Siege of Heishuiying, and the Battle of Khotan.

Because of the successive victories, Mingrui, as the counselor of the Northwest Military Battalion, has also made numerous military achievements.The emperor bestowed the title "Yiyong" on Mingrui's "Xuanli Army, and his hard work is commendable".

After Fuwen's death, Mingrui had already inherited the title of Duke Cheng'en, so Mingrui's full title was "Duke Cheng'en Yiyong".

At this time, although Fu Heng was the first-class duke, because Mingrui's title was already four characters, Fu Heng was "first-class loyal and brave man", and his title was still two characters; In terms of the title of Spyker, Mingrui's status has surpassed that of Fu Hengqu.

If so, Jiufujin Lanpei's heart sank again.

Fu Ling'an was in the northwest, and had always been under Mingrui's command; when Ming Rui returned to Beijing to see His Majesty, the emperor also specially ordered Mingrui to bring Fu Ling'an back together.Therefore, although it shows that Rui will not stay longer when he returns to Beijing, he will immediately go back to the Northwest Military Camp after seeing him, and Fu Ling'an will go back with him...but Fu Ling'an will go home to stay for two days after all.

When Fu Ling'an came back, Fu Hengzi put the eldest son first in everything these days.Fu Heng attaches great importance to Fu Ling'an, so Rue Xiang will naturally be by his side.

Fu Heng stayed in Yunxiang's room for the past few days...

Even if Lan Pei didn't want to be in a hurry, Bi Hai and Lan Qiao were so anxious that they were about to go to the room, whispering in Lan Pei's ear endlessly for days.

Zhuanxiang watched from the side, didn't say much, just turned around quietly and went back to the study, and asked her daughter Fuling: "You told me that day, Brother Kang himself said, you are going to come back for vaccination?"

Fu Ling also nodded, "Mom, why do you still have doubts? Of course Zhaodi said it himself. After all, after he turns five years old in July, he has to go to the study. If he doesn't vaccinate, the emperor You can't ask him to enter the study!"

Zhuanxiang nodded, then turned back to Jiufujin's room.Looking for a space where no one else was around, he said in a low voice, "Brother Kang said that he also wanted to go home. Firstly, he heard that Fujin was ill. Although he was young, he was worried; secondly, Kang My brother knows what he is thinking, this year he should be preparing to study in the study, so he has to get vaccinated."

Lan Pei was slightly startled, "Is he really willing to come back?"

Zhuan Xiang nodded and said with a smile, "... Fujin's illness started from missing Kang Geer. If Kang Geer doesn't come back for a day, it's not good for Fujin to hang around. When Kang Geer comes back, Then Fujin's illness should be cured."

Lan Pei understood Zhuanxiang's words.

Lampe lowered his head, nodded for a while, "You're right. I should be cured of my illness."
.
At the end of March, when Wanxi's stomach was slightly protruding, Jiufujin handed over a sign into the palace, intending to come and pick Fukang'an home.

Wanxi also told Concubine Wan about the matter.After all, Fukang'an followed Xiaoqi, running between Wanxi and Wanbi, and Wanbi also had a lot of Fukang'an's own things.

Wanxi told Concubine Wan to tidy up in advance.

Concubine Wan finished tidying up today, and came to Wanxi Palace to sit and laughed, "I don't know if I don't tidy up, I was really shocked when I tidied up——Although Qilinbao is temporarily staying in the palace, but in the past two years, unexpectedly I have accumulated such a large bag of things!"

"Looking at it this way, it doesn't look like it's staying in the palace temporarily, but it looks like it's here to occupy a nest!"

Wanxi also smiled, "No, on my side, Yu Rui also packed a big bag. I thought, I'm afraid I need to send a big carriage. It's really time to move."

Although Wanxi was smiling, there was still reluctance in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Wanbi watched carefully, then reached out and gently pressed Wanxi's hand.

"In the past, his elder brother Long also came in and out of your palace, but he never saw you so reluctant."

Wanxi raised her face and tried her best to smile, "It's different after all. Brother Long came to study in the palace when he was five years old, and he didn't live in my palace. He entered the palace and grew up in front of my eyes."

"When I first entered the palace, I was still afraid of the dark. I got used to holding his mother's hand at night so I could fall asleep. I just accompanied him for half a month and told him to hold his hand until he fell asleep. I’m leaving now. In terms of love, it’s as if I had raised a son myself, and it’s deeper than Brother Long’s.”

Besides, this Fukang'an was most similar to Master Jiu in appearance.Calling Wanxi to look at it every day is like seeing Master Jiu when she was a child-it was a period of time before she met Master Jiu, she got a glimpse of it, and always felt cherished.

While Wanxi was talking, she still couldn't help the tears welling up in her eyelashes.Embarrassed, she looked up at Wanbi, "Sister Chen, don't laugh at me."

Wanbi laughed, "How could it be? You are a delicate and affectionate person; besides, you are twins, so you are more likely to be sentimental."

In front of the concubine Wan, Wanxi had no burdens in her heart, so she willfully caused tears to fall.

"I'm not going to hide it from Sister Chen... In my heart, I have another layer of guilt for this child."

Wanbi also smiled, nodded and said, "Why can't I see it? Although they are all children, but the way he treats us Xiao Qi... I can only be thankful that these three children are young He is still young. Especially our Xiaoqi, who is less than three years old now, why is he ignorant."

"If we separate early, we, Xiaoqi, will definitely not be able to leave anything behind. Qilinbao will leave the palace this time, and will not live in the inner court, so he won't have to spend time with each other every day; even if he is still studying in the palace in the future, he will also be fine." Don't worry about it."

Only then did Wanxi wipe her eyes, "I think so too. Fortunately, the children are still so young, so I'm afraid we won't slip away if we worry about it."

Lunzhu came in to say hello, and Wanxi nodded, "These two packages are in the care of Qilin, and I don't feel relieved to hand them over to others. After you finish your duty these few days, you can go out of the palace house on vacation, and you will take it yourself. Let's go back."

Lunzhu responded with a smile, on a face as red as a snowy child, his teeth looked as white as snow when he smiled.

"The slave has to secretly transport it back... If Qilinbao knows about it, he would probably rather keep all these things in the palace and continue to occupy that nest."

Lunzhu shrugged, "He always said that he won't be gone for a few days, and he will come back soon. He also told Cricket not to serve others, but to wait for him to come back."
.
Lunzhu went away carrying the burden, Wanxi watched Lunzhu off from the window, her eyes were red again.

Wanpin smiled lightly, "Oh, why do you want to cry when you look at Lunzhu again? But you miss the jade pot again?"

Wanxi took a deep breath, "No, it was caused by the emperor's decree... Mingrui came back to see you, the emperor told him to go back to the barracks in a few days. But Mingrui didn't go back alone, nor alone. We have to take Brother Ling back to the Northwest Army Camp, and take the guards from Da Nei with us."

The emperor had just decreed that he would reward Tamanai, the third-class guard of the Qianqing Gate, with 100 taels of silver for the outfit.Along with the Minister of Counselor Mingrui, he went to the barracks at a gallop.

Two days later, another decree was issued that Zarafon'a, the second-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, was rewarded with 100 taels of silver for the whole outfit, and ordered him to go to the barracks.

Wanxi took a deep breath, "I used to think that it was enough for the Ouchi guards to protect the emperor in the palace, but it turned out that the Ouchi guards also had to go to the barracks to serve."

"Sister Chen, look, these two guards are not ordinary Lanling guards or third-class guards. One of them is the guard of Qianqing Gate, and the other is the guard of the Imperial Palace. Let them go and tell them to go to the front to kill the enemy."

Concubine Wan nodded slowly, "I understand, you are thinking about Lunzhu's future... The emperor rewarded Lunzhu's background as a bodyguard, but he has not been recognized by the Fu family after all, so he only relies on this one. The guards are not enough. If he wants to have a good future, he still has to rely on military merits. Therefore, he may be sent to the battlefield by the emperor in the future."

Wanxi nodded, and hurried away.

When thinking of this child, Wanxi couldn't help but think of his father Fu Qing, and the snowy boy Cang Zhu who also died on the battlefield.

Wanbi sighed softly, "Oh, but how old is he this year! A child who is only seven or eight years old, even if he will go to the military camp in the future, it will still be several years later. You feel uncomfortable so early, but it is not too early La!"

Wanxi laughed through tears, "No, I'm stupid... It's all because Lun Zhu is a tall child, obviously only one year older than Yong Xing, but he looks like he is eleven or twelve years old. Makes me feel in a trance that he will be on the battlefield in a few years."

Wanbi nodded with a smile, "Having more children is a good thing, but there are also disadvantages... Because you have too many children, you treat all the children in your palace as if you gave birth to them yourself. But your heart is only like this after all. Son, is it possible that it really needs to be divided into ten petals and eight petals?"

"Wanxi, listen to me, don't think so much. You have given birth to four children in four consecutive years, which is already hurting your health; if you worry about this or that, it really hurts your heart."

Wanxi understood this reasoning, so she also laughed, "Who said I have to worry about everyone? Xiao Qi has been entrusted to Sister Chen, and Sister Chen will worry about her, so I don't care!"

Concubine Wan fixedly looked at Wanxi, "... There is something I don't want to say, but I have to remind you now. When Jiujiu first conceived last year, or even the year before last, we said it, little deer I'm afraid it will be entrusted to others."

"You are reluctant to keep it. It was okay to have only one more Jiujiu before, but now, you have another child, so you have to repeat that old saying."

Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, she calmed down, and then she nodded quietly.

"To tell you the truth, Sister Chen, I have already made up my mind - I must entrust Xiaoluer to Sister Lu to be at ease."

Concubine Wan opened her mouth, "But, Yuqin is still only in the position of concubine after all."

Wanxi bit her lips lightly, "...Even if Sister Lu is in the concubine position, I will try to ask the emperor to make an exception. I dare not talk nonsense about the position, but at least I can raise the prince if I am called the emperor's concubine. "
.
In March, the emperors and queens were busy; time flies, and April comes so fast.

Since March this year, there has been little rain in Beijing, and the emperor is very worried.On the eighth day of April, the emperor held a sacrifice to pray for rain.After fasting for three days, the emperor went to Huanqiu to offer sacrifices to heaven. The emperor dismounted and walked to Huanqiu to salute.

On the ninth day of April, the emperor returned to the Old Summer Palace and decreed to restore Xiangchang as a nobleman.

Since the emperor had not been in the Old Summer Palace since April, Xiang Chang did not get the slightest notice of such news.

The good news came suddenly, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

When Wanxi heard the news, she just smiled lightly.

This is not surprising, after all, Xianggui is Gege of Elut Mongolia, and in this year, naturally, she cannot be made to take the status of a permanent presence.Besides, Mrs. Xiang was appointed as a nobleman when she first entered the palace. It is not an honor to be restored after a year. In fact, she has been wronged.

Although the nobleman is only in the position of nobleman, the nobleman has an imperial heir anyway.Even if nobleman Xiang is reset, he is still a head shorter than nobleman Duo after all.

Yuqin also sighed softly, "It's not just the nobleman Xiang? This year is destined to belong to the Mongolian princesses. In addition to Guo Guiren's happy encounter and Xianggui's restoration, there are also the two from the Queen's Palace and the Pure Concubine's Palace. You are a Mongolian Gege who has learned the rules. The emperor will definitely give you a position this year."

Wanxi nodded, and raised her eyes to Concubine Ying, "No matter what, Mr. Xiang is the nobleman of Yanxi Palace after all. Mr. Xiang's resettlement is also a good thing for you, Gaowa."

Concubine Ying sighed softly, "I'm so sick of her! Because of her, I'm ashamed to come into Ling's sister's palace. I'm really afraid that because of her, my sister will have a divorce with me again."

Wanxi smiled and reached out to Concubine Ying.Concubine Ying hurried over and grabbed Wanxi's hand.

Wanxi blinked, "Then Concubine Xin once lived in my palace, do you think I should also take responsibility for her?"

Only then did Concubine Ying finally smile, "...I feel relieved if my sister says that."

Wanxi smiled and blinked, "I said that this year belongs to the Mongolian Gege, and you are also the Mongolian Gege. The one who met the happy event, the reset one, the first seal... You, this year should also have good news Yes. Stop looking so sad."
