Chapter 2287 Six Volumes 342 Don't Try to Stop Anyone ([-] Words Complete)
On the first day of the seventh month, the emperor sent his prince Hong Zhou to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty in the Taimiao.

On this day, the emperor also received a definite report from the Northwest: the big and small Hezhuo brothers fled to Badak Mountain, heading for Hindustan (northern India).The emperor did not think that the two cities of Kashgar and Yarkand had been conquered, so he regarded it as a big victory. Instead, he issued an order to Zhaohui and Fude, "The rebel brothers have not been captured, and the end is difficult." "Pursue the poor and get the best".

On the second day of July, the emperor went to Changchun Garden to greet the empress dowager.

When the mother and son meet, the emperor greets him, and first asks the empress dowager if she has prepared for Qiu Mulan, and what else is needed, as a son, he needs to prepare from the side.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's not the first time I've gone out. In the past few years, we've grown magnolias every year, and we've already been familiar with the road. Besides, the objects in the Rehe Palace are complete, even if you don't bring them from Beijing, they are all enough." use."

"Besides, Rehe is not far away. If you need something extra, it's okay to ask someone to come back to pick it up."

The emperor nodded with a smile, "What Enie said is true."

After the emperor finished greeting, he sat still and didn't speak for a while.

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, "...You came to ask me today, but you still want to ask me what I mean? Emperor, I understand your thoughts. Title, you still remember that you want to promote Concubine Ling."

The empress dowager paused, "...It's a pity that there is no such precedent in our imperial harem of the Qing Dynasty!"

The emperor's eyes flickered slightly, "There is no precedent, and it's not just her family. The former pure noble concubine and Jia noble concubine were promoted to noble concubines. In the harem of the Qing Dynasty, this is also without precedent."

The empress dowager chuckled, "The two of them, how can they be compared to the concubine Ling? Not to mention that the two of them were originally old people in your Qianlong mansion, and they were chosen by the late emperor to enter the palace and placed by your side. .Because of the late emperor, their identities are also more honorable."

"Besides, when the two of them were promoted to imperial concubine, each of them gave birth to two princes for you! Lingfei is only one Yonglu now, and with this one prince, it is enough to be conferred the title of concubine. "

"What's more, although Concubine Chun is a Han woman, she is the great-grandson daughter of the governor of Liangjiang, and an important official of the Han family; Shujia is the leader of Gaoli, under the leader of Baoyi, and they are both righteous bannermen. He came here to surrender to Emperor Taizong, so how can someone with the surname of Xin Zhe Kuhan like Concubine Ling, whose ancestors committed a 'fleeing order' and was confiscated because of a crime, compare?"

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes and stared at the emperor, "In my Qing Dynasty, there are no Xinzheku people above the rank of concubine, especially those with the Han surname! How could the good concubine of Emperor Kangxi be favored, and she was the daughter of a Manchu family, so what? I will rely on the prince Yinhu for the rest of my life, and only be in the concubine position?"

"No matter how filial you are, Concubine Ding is 92 years old, the longest life expectancy in the harem, and the mother of your twelfth uncle Yunxuan. Didn't you still not make her a noble concubine and let her die in the concubine?"

"Your emperor did not break these rules; you are a filial child, and you did not break them for the sake of the concubine, how can you break them for the concubine today?"

The emperor was not annoyed, he just raised his eyes and stared at the empress dowager quietly, "Ernie replied to his son, saying that he would think about it; the result of thinking about it, is he still unwilling to nod?"

The empress dowager snorted softly, "Unless you want to surpass me, an old woman, you don't need to have the empress dowager's seal on the canonized edict, and you don't need to say anything about 'in the order of the empress dowager'...then you can promote her!" position!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ene, what do you want your son to do, are you old enough to nod?"

The empress dowager also squinted her eyes and looked back and forth at her son, "...my mother is getting old, and the day when I go underground to meet my ancestors is getting closer. I have to save some face for myself, and then I dare I have seen the ancestors and ancestors. How can I ask your harem to have a noble concubine with the surname of Xin Zhe Kuhan!"

The empress dowager paused lightly, "Emperor, you didn't go back to salute in person when you enjoyed the Taimiao yesterday, but asked Hong Zhou to salute on your behalf... Does that mean that you don't dare to face your ancestors yourself?"

"Emperor, if you talk about pampering, it's enough for you to dote on that concubine today! If you want to pamper a concubine, as long as you don't break the ancestor's rules, you can go as a mother. But, if you insist You have repeatedly ignored the rules of your ancestors, so how dare you enter the Taimiao?"

The emperor finally couldn't sit still and stood up abruptly.

The empress dowager lowered her eyes, no longer looked at the emperor, but took her own cigarette bag.

"My mother knows that you are indebted to Concubine Ling in your heart. That's easy to handle, as long as you reward her with more gold, silver and satin."

"I also feel that she is pitiful to Jian'er in my heart. Don't worry, even if you don't reward her, I will pick out more good ones from my own share on the day she gives birth, and reward her. .”

"Concubine Ling is also a sensible person. If she can get these rewards, she should understand our intentions."
.
The emperor rushed out of Changchun Garden angrily.

Gao Yun followed all the way, and he also carried it in his heart.

After getting out of the Changchun Garden, seeing the emperor's face calmed down, Gao Yun kowtowed repeatedly from the ground, saying, "Damn the slave."

The emperor snorted, "What are you afraid of dying?"

Gao Yuncong was about to cry, "If the empress dowager's old master always refuses to accept the position of the emperor's Jinling master, then the oral order passed on privately by the slave...wouldn't it be a false edict? Then the slave must die without a place to die!"

The emperor has prepared half of the imperial concubine's crown and clothes, gold books, and gold treasures for the master.If it's useless after finishing it, then the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites will pursue it, so it's all on him?

The emperor stared at Gao Yuncong, spat, but smiled, "Look at you!"

Gao Yun kowtowed and cried, "Slave, there is really only one head on the neck of this slave~~"

The emperor stood up straight, standing under the blazing sunshine of July, his eyes were more blazing than the sun.

"What are you afraid of! In short, I have already told them to prepare. When I ordered you, I have already made up my mind. No matter who stops me, I can't change it!"

At this moment, the emperor still missed old Li Yu and little Maotuan'er.Although Gao Yuncong's affection for him is not as good as that of Li Yu, who grew up with him, and Mao Tuaner, who was by his side since he was a child... But after all, he himself is smart and clever, and Mao Tuaner is still worse. referrals.After getting along with the emperor in the past few years, he was willing to talk to Gao Yuncong about some things.

"I am filial to the Queen Mother. I want to be the most filial son in the world. I want the Queen Mother to be the happiest old mother in the world. Therefore, I must first tell the Queen Mother about everything in the harem. Canonization, must follow the order of the empress dowager;”

"But if this is the matter of your ordering the master, the Queen's Mother refuses to give her a nod, then I won't care about anything!"

"Zhen, I'm already the 50-year-old son of heaven; even if the son is filial to his mother, at this age, he doesn't have to bow his head in everything; besides, this is related to your master's business! If you hold back this time, you So that the master will really stay in the concubine position for the rest of his life... I will never let such a thing happen!"

The emperor took a deep breath, looked back at Gao Yuncong.

"I don't want to quarrel with the empress dowager face to face. I have rarely blushed with the empress dowager in these years. But this time, because of you, my master... I don't care about having a big fight in person!"
.
When the emperor came to the "natural picture" that night, he tried his best to hide it, but Wanxi still noticed a hint of hesitation from the corner of his eyes and between the brows.

Wanxi didn't say anything, just leaned her head on the emperor's shoulder, and said softly and coquettishly like a little girl, "...It's because I'm leaving for the fall, and I don't want to part with my slaves and children, right?"

The emperor snorted softly.

Even though it was a hum, the voice had already softened.

"Why do you say that the master misses you, but you don't miss the master?"

Wan Xi chuckled, "...Why don't you ask Yu Rui to follow me?"

The emperor got annoyed at this, stretched out his foot and kicked Wanxi's ankle lightly, stood up, turned his back on purpose, "Okay, tell her to put her back here, and we will go together when the time comes!"

Wanxi sighed, got up and pinched her waist with both hands, walked slowly behind the emperor, and stretched out her arms to hug the emperor's arm.

"My lord, don't worry... On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, my lord has sent my grandma Shouyue and doctor Shouyue to my palace; the emperor has also decreed that my mother can come into the palace early after the autumn comes. Serving. There are so many people around me, even if the master is not in the palace, it doesn't matter."

The emperor turned around and stared at her with downcast eyes.

"...According to the date of your delivery, it should be at the beginning of October. I will definitely try to come back in September."

Wanxi smiled and nodded, "But don't worry, sir. What year is this year? I'm going to summon Taiji, Zaisang, and Burkes from the cities of Huibu in Rehe. There are so many of them. It's the first time I've met with you, so I always need you to be more entertaining, so that they can firmly submit to you and the court."

"My master's schedule should only be long, not short. Master, don't rush back because of slaves. After all, this is the fourth time that slaves have given birth, and they are already familiar with it; It is the first time that the princes and princes who have returned to Rehe have come to see Rehe, and they have come all the way from thousands of miles."

The emperor snorted softly, "Don't worry about it, after all, the Lord knows what to do. You, just stay in the palace with peace of mind, and let the last few months live steadily for the Lord."

Wanxi's wonderful eyes turned lightly, "...Why do you just talk about slaves? You should go to the nobleman's palace and beat her up! If you want to give birth, you have to go around more to give birth, but slaves have I haven't seen her come out for a few days."

The emperor wrinkled his nose and stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of Wanxi's nose.

"And you said you were angry with her? Isn't this still concerned about her movements?"

Wanxi shook her head, "Master, she is Gege from Elut Mongolia, and even a descendant of the Borzigit family. This time, I will meet her mother's family and relatives in Rehe."

"Besides, she lives with Lan Guiren and E Chang, and the palace can't be as quiet as the slave's side. Therefore, the slave thinks, I should really ask more about the nobleman's side."

There are some words that should not be said directly, but in her heart at this time, apart from worrying about the high-spirited Lan Guiren, and because E Chang suddenly jumped out to make trouble this time, she added another layer of worry go.

After all, many nobles entered the palace late, and the servants around them are useless. Living with those two unstable people like this is always a bit worrying.

In any case, newborns are weak.

The emperor nodded, "...It's just that the empress will go away with the empress dowager, and the pure concubine is a little weak, and you are about to give birth. In my heart, there is no one who can relax for a while."

Wanxi also sighed secretly.

Originally Concubine Ying was the best candidate, Concubine Ying and Duogui were both Mongolian Gege, and she was someone Wanxi could rest assured of.It's just...Concubine Ying is destined to go with the emperor in the autumn.

The emperor frowned and thought for a while, "Don't worry, I'll think of another way."
.
While talking, Xiaoqi and Lawang walked in from outside hand in hand, and greeted the emperor together.

The emperor smiled, and winked at Wanxi, "Looking at the way these two children knelt down in front of me to pay their respects, I almost thought——I'm old, I'm already 60 years old."

Wanxi understood, with a smile and downcast eyes.

When the emperor was 60 years old, it would be eleven or two years later, and Xiaoqi would be 15 years old at that time, and he would be able to marry when he reached the girl's family.If you salute in front of the emperor together with your little son-in-law, you will say goodbye and leave when you get married.

Thinking of this, although Wanxi was still smiling, the tip of her nose turned red all of a sudden, as if someone slapped her in the air.

Although the princesses of the Qing Dynasty are all blessed, it doesn't mean that they won't see each other after they get married.During the holidays, you can go back to the palace to greet you and watch a play; as a mother, you can also go out of the palace to see the children in the princess mansion... But in the end, the jewel in your palm will become someone else's daughter-in-law .

Wanxi didn't want to lose her composure in front of the children, so she quickly reached out and slapped the emperor, "Master, say this now!"

The emperor suddenly turned his head to the outside and yelled, "Oh, Aslan has run away!"

Xiaoqi and Lawang were startled at the same time, and they turned their heads to look out the window.

The emperor took the opportunity to give Wanxi a hug, stole a scent from her cheek, and whispered, "...I don't want to be 60 so soon either."

After Xiaoqi and Lawang were confused, they turned their heads to look at the emperor. He was already sitting upright, looking solemn again.

Xiaoqi tilted her head and asked, "Huang Ama, why did Aslan run away? Brother Lunzhu is its nemesis, and with Brother Lunzhu here, it is a cat."

The emperor pursed his lips and smiled, "Oh, that's because Ahma was wrong. She saw the nanny carrying your sister and walked over. Ahma was worried that your little sister was afraid of Aslan."

Xiaoqi laughed immediately, "Ama, don't worry, Jiujiu is not afraid of Aslan! Little Jiujiu, he actually regarded Aslan as the two stone lions guarding the gate of the palace. Last time he passed by the gate of the palace, he even deliberately Reach out and pull the stone lion's hair to see if it can move!"

Lawang also smiled and said, "Going back to the emperor, Lunzhu is here. Lunzhu is the bodyguard of the ninth princess, and he must be able to protect the ninth princess."

The emperor nodded, bowed his body, put his elbows on his knees, and asked the two children seriously, "Have you two prepared your luggage for Rehe?"

Lawang smiled immediately, "The emperor told me earlier that this time, you are not allowed to make your mother tired. I have grown up, and I can clean up by myself; I can also help Xiaoqi clean up!"

Xiao Qi was a little distracted...

The emperor tilted his head to look at Wanxi.

Wanxi smiled and lowered her eyes, and said intentionally, "I asked her myself. She is three years old, and when she grows up, the girl can't help herself, and the servant doesn't know what she thinks."

Wanxi said so, but she got up and stretched out her hand to Lawang, "Come here, Lawang, let Auntie prepare some small gifts for your father, uncle and several elder brothers. You follow Auntie to see if there are any of them." I don't like it, it's inappropriate."

Wanxi took Lawang into the Dongbianer Nuan Pavilion, and the emperor raised his eyebrows and stared at the three-year-old daughter.

"Tell me~~ What's the matter, I can't bear your mother and younger siblings, don't you want to play with Ama this time?"

Xiao Qi flattened her mouth lightly, "No way. Daughter knows, Ama came here to let her play, and secondly, to let Ernie have less of a share of her heart at the moment... But, my daughter really Yes, a little bit, I don't want to go..."

The emperor raised his shoulders, "Tell me, why?"

Xiao Qi came over and leaned on the emperor's arm, hesitating a little.

The emperor stretched out his long arms, hugged her into his arms, and moved her to his lap, "Say it, Ama doesn't blame you."

Only then did Xiao Qi rest her head on the emperor's heart, and said softly, "...Ama said that in July, if Bao Bao reaches the age of five, he can return to the palace to study."
.
The emperor couldn't help opening his mouth slightly.

"You want to stay in the palace and wait for Kilin Baona to come back to the palace?"

Xiaoqi didn't dare to look up into his father's eyes, and said softly, "...Baobao has been away for several months, and my daughter has been waiting for July."

The emperor didn't know what he was doing, but he still couldn't help but sighed deeply.

He also felt that he didn't seem to be able to sigh, after all, his daughter was only three years old; but he still couldn't help sighing.

The emperor held Xiao Qi in his arms and coaxed softly, "But Ah Ma has gone so far and for such a long time, she will miss Xiao Qi. Could it be that Xiao Qi doesn't miss Ah Ma because of Qilin protecting that brat?"

Xiao Qi was stunned by the emperor's question.

The three-year-old girl lowered her head and was in a dilemma for a while, before she finally returned her arms and hugged the emperor's neck.

"...My daughter chooses Ama."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but the circles under his eyes became hot.

I don't know how to express the emotion in my heart, so I can only hug the soft little daughter tightly in my arms and stick it to my heart.

The Manchus are not as patriarchal as the Han people. Even before the daughter is married, the family pays more attention to the daughter than to the son; But when the daughter-in-law is standing underground to serve.

What's more, the emperor's daughters were few in the first place. At this time, Princess Hejing is becoming a mother herself, and the fourth princess is getting married soon;It is so rare to be able to hold her in my arms at this moment, that is Xiao Qi.

It is his and Jiu'er's children together, even though Yong Lu is the prince, after all, Xiao Qi is the first child they both have been looking forward to for so many years.Therefore, the relationship between the emperor and Xiaoqi must be extra deep.

The emperor sniffed, put his arms around Xiao Qi and shook him, "Don't be sorry, good boy, after all, we can come back in September, it's only two months later, when you come back, you can see Qilin Bao again."

"After all, he is studying in the palace. If there is no accident, he will continue to study until he gets married in the future. After doing this calculation, there are still more than ten years to go. There will always be days for you to linger, ah~"

Only then did Xiao Qi smile through his tears, and nodded vigorously.Then he raised his eyes to look at the emperor again, "... But, Ama, what is marriage? Is it just a play house for the bride and groom?"

The emperor chuckled, "What's the matter, it looks like this is a play, have you played it?"

Only then did Xiaoqi nod shyly, "...Wangwang taught me how to play. He said, this play house is the most fun. If I don't play, I will definitely regret it later."

The emperor's long eyebrows suddenly raised, followed by bursts of laughter.

"Okay, okay, I just said that Qilinbao is a brat, it seems that Lawang is a brat too!"

He looks so loyal and handsome, but he also has a heart~~.
On the fourth day of the seventh lunar month, the emperor enshrines the empress dowager and starts driving from the Old Summer Palace, and the autumn is full of Mulan.

The following concubines, according to the rules, are still six.Apart from Queen Nala and Concubine Ying who must go, and the two new Mongolian empresses, Yiguiren and Guo Changzai, Concubine Wan followed to take care of Xiao Qi.

These five are not surprising, but the variable is the concubine first.

Originally, Concubine Yu from the Eight Banners of Mongolia was supposed to go, but this year the emperor withdrew Concubine Yu and asked Concubine Shu to go with her.

This year, Concubine Yu didn't go, which made Liugong a little suspicious; but fortunately, Yongqi's younger brother died just this year, so everyone also said that maybe the emperor was sympathetic to Concubine Yu and she was in a bad mood .

Below the rank of concubine, even Xianggui, who originally came from Erut Mongolia, failed to accompany him.

This time above the rank of concubine, apart from the frail pure noble concubine and Wanxi who is about to give birth, only concubine Yu is left in Beijing.

Therefore, although the emperor hesitated, he still entrusted many nobles to Concubine Yu.
.
It was hot and dry in July, and Wanxi's body became heavy. She also cared about her children, so she closed the door on the island, and she didn't even bother to move.

Accompanied by mother, Yurui, and two children Yonglu and Jiujiu in the palace, the days passed happily.

When I was free, I sat on the porch, chatting with my mother while watching the children play.Or, looking at the newly selected women in Yurui's Selection Palace.

Yurui taught the little girls to learn the rules, which is really strict.I often saw a few thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls being punished to stand against the wall at the base of the wall, with a washbasin on their head.

Wanxi still wants to intercede with a smile, and asks Yurui to let her go.

The new arrivals had a vacancy for Dingyurui, so they went directly to serve under her seat; there were two others who served Yurui.

Yurui asked her to name her, and Wanxi thought that the two girls who would serve Yurui would still follow the rules of her own palace and name her after Yurui.It's just that after all, Yurui has jade in her name, so she couldn't ask the two girls to use the same word as the master, so she changed her name and named it "Jade".

Although jadeite is similar to jadeite, people at that time "don't regard it as jade", that is to say, people don't regard jadeite as a kind of jade.And jadeite is like jade, so it is most suitable to be used as the names of two girls.

One of the two girls is named "Cui Huan" and the other is "Cui Di".
