Chapter 2297 Six Volumes 352 Several Families Are Happy ([-] words completed)
Lan Guiren was also depressed, and wanted to see the Empress Dowager several times, but the Empress Dowager was also unhappy, so she didn't see her.

In the end, An Shou came out to meet her in person, and explained softly, "The empress dowager is not in good health these days, and I'm afraid she'll leave Master Lan in the cold when we meet. Master Lan, let's go back, and wait for the old master to recover. I will summon Master Lan to come to see you."

After all, I am also afraid, relatively speechless.

Lan Gui's heart was depressed for a moment, and no one could talk to her, so she still thought of Concubine Xin.

Although the Xianfu Palace where Concubine Xin lives is no different from the Leng Palace, the Leng Palace is also as good as the Leng Palace, and it is easy to avoid people's eyes when going in and out.

Lan Guiren came here at dusk today, and before he entered the hall, before he could say anything, his eye circles were already red.

Concubine Xin patted Lan Guiren's hand, "You don't need to say, how can I not understand the grievance in your heart? Your grievance, the crux of it all lies in Concubine Qing."

"Speaking of it, I am also surprised. Concubine Qing is a Han woman with no favors and no children. Why should she be concubine? But think about it, she and Concubine Ying were granted the imperial concubine on the same day as Concubine Ling. It's impossible not to doubt that if Concubine Qing is able to have what she is today, I'm afraid it will still be the wind blowing by the imperial concubine at the emperor's pillow."

Lan Guiren sneered, "No favor? Who knows. After all, these days after the concubine's decree was issued, the emperor turned over the cards of Concubine Qing and Concubine Ying twice. People have entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation after all. In the morning, I also enjoyed breakfast according to the rules."

"However, how can we outsiders know whether we slept in the emperor's bedroom or in the enclosure next to me that night? After all, it's hard for outsiders to say that the concubine is 'unfavored'! "

Concubine Xin curled her lips and nodded, "There are favors and no favors. Looking at her experience in entering the palace for so many years, is there still no conclusion? She entered the palace with Lingfei, and it has been 19 years since she entered the palace. If it is favored, why hasn't there been a news in 19 years?"

"Don't tell me she has infertility. This palace has been in the palace for many years, and there is no news of a single incident, and she is not the only one. Otherwise, what has become of this harem? A large gathering of infertile women? Ha, it really is joke!"

"If so many women in the harem are infertile, what are the nuns and imperial physicians who inspect our bodies when we enter the palace? That's how they 'review' the emperor. Is this kind of person?"

Lan Guiren also smiled sadly, "No! The emperor chose us only for a 'first look'; after all, there are so many 'reviews' by nuns and imperial physicians later, just to ensure that our bodies are healthy and suitable for us. Spreading branches and leaves for the royal family. In this harem, at least before entering the Shunzhen Gate, there is no one who is infertile."

"However, no matter how fertile the body is, without the emperor's favor, it will be useless." Concubine Xin raised her eyes to glance at Lan Guiren, "We are the ones who are really unfavored. The emperor never turned over us at all. The brand is the real one.”

Lan Guiren was so annoyed that he didn't start.

Concubine Xin had given birth to two princesses at any rate, but one had already died, and now there is another one beside her.No matter how noble her family background is, how young and beautiful she is, she can't win the emperor's sideways glance.

Concubine Xin also sighed, "As for me, it's fine. Although I'm only 23 years old, I've been in the palace for several years after all, so it's nothing new. But sister Lan, you can't do that...you are the Empress Dowager's after all. My family, the emperor is a very filial person, even with his filial piety to the empress dowager, he wouldn't be able to treat you like this."

"Don't talk about the distance, let's talk about Concubine Shu. Back then, it was only because of Concubine Shu's grandmother Geng Gege's little affection for the Empress Dowager that the Empress Dowager protected Concubine Shu all the way to the concubine position, and even got a prince. ; Back then, I really fought with Concubine Ling until the situation changed, and Concubine Ling didn't have any good fruit..."

"What about you, you are the empress dowager's family. In terms of distance, you should be much closer than Concubine Shu. Then you should at least be on the same level as Concubine Shu in the palace. You should be the concubine and the prince."

Concubine Xin raised her sleeve and pressed the corners of her lips, "Fortunately, Sister Lan is still young, maybe the Empress Dowager has already made a plan for Sister Lan, and the concubine and prince will get it sooner or later, and it will never fail. "
.
Lan Gui couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up abruptly.

"...I don't want to talk about these anymore!"

She walked towards the window and stood by the window to look out at the withered winter scenery of the garden.

"The empress dowager treats me like this, so what can I do? I went to ask to see the empress dowager, but the empress dowager didn't see me... Maybe it's because although I and the empress dowager belong to the same family, after all, the branches are a little far away."

Concubine Xin looked at Lan Guiren's back, sighed, got up and walked over, stroking Lan Guiren's back.

"You should know better than me what the empress dowager's temperament is. The empress dowager is a strong person. Although her family was not well-off when she was young, she refused to admit defeat; she struggled in the royal palace and has come to this day after all. Such an old man, How can I watch the younger generation of my own family suffer?"

"It's just that the empress dowager will be strong again, but she can't resist the emperor's stubbornness. The power of the emperor's pillow wind has overwhelmed the empress dowager's instruction."

Lan Guiren suddenly turned around and stared at Concubine Xin, "You said all of these are concubine Ling?"

Concubine Xin shrugged, "You also saw the family banquet in the Chonghua Palace that day. It is against the rules of the ancestors that the imperial concubine be enshrined as a noble concubine, and the empress dowager is not satisfied. So I guess, the empress dowager must have stopped it; It's a pity that the king's heart is as strong as iron, and the empress dowager couldn't stop the emperor from going up."

"The empress dowager tried to stop her from entering the imperial concubine, how can the noble concubine feel comfortable? But she dare not do anything to the empress dowager, her grievances always need a channel to vent, choose someone who is easy to handle..."

Concubine Xin stopped at this point, and nobleman Lan turned around abruptly, staring at Concubine Xin's eyes.

"You mean, she cheated on me on purpose? Just because I'm the empress dowager's family, she took revenge on me?"

Concubine Xin spread her hands, "Otherwise, why did Concubine Qing have to move to Jingren Palace? Concubine Qing can definitely move to Yonghe Palace, so that Concubine Qing and Concubine Wan can live together, just to take care of each other."

Lan Guiren laughed, "You mean, I haven't done anything to her all these years, but she attacked me first?"

Concubine Xin sighed softly, "I'm sure you've heard about how the Empress Dowager treated her all these years. Do you think she won't hate her?"

"She just pretended to be docile in front of the emperor; but now that she is a noble concubine, it will be much easier for her to take care of you, my sister, as a noble person."

"Besides, everyone around her has been promoted now. Concubine Qing, Concubine Ying, Concubine Wan, and Rui Chang are here... Tsk tsk, there are really all positions. She doesn't need to do it herself, just her Nunuzui, someone will naturally do it for her."

Guiren Lan raised her jaw high, "Want to attack me? Ha, they think so beautifully!"
.
Concubine Xin glanced at Mrs. Lan, then turned around first, walked back to the kang and sat down silently.

"Now she is a noble concubine, not the concubine Ling or concubine Ling in the past; and she is no longer the official woman Wei Shi...Even a Manchurian Gege from a family like you, sister Lan, can no longer treat her lightly."

"I think she can win even the empress dowager this time, so how can we compare ourselves to the empress dowager? If we don't plan carefully, not only will we not be able to win against her, but we will be tricked by her!"

Concubine Xin sighed deeply as she spoke, "The most important thing is that the emperor has already been obsessed with ghosts. For her promotion, even the empress dowager would not hesitate to disobey; look at the trustee of the Hall of Mental Cultivation..."

"In the past, the chief eunuch and chief eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation had either this jade or that jade in their names; but this is the first time that they have changed their name to one without 'jade' in it."

Lan Guiren also frowned, "Even if there is no jade, there is also a 'bead' in the name, so it can be regarded as the same line."

Concubine Xin raised her eyes to look at Lan Guiren, and suddenly laughed loudly, "Look, I knew you were all attracted by the word 'zhu', and you all forgot his surname—how did you forget, that Eunuch, his surname is also Wei!"
.
Lan Guiren was also shocked, "You mean... even this Wei Zhu was chosen by the emperor because of the imperial concubine Ling; or, in other words, it was recommended by the imperial concubine Ling to the emperor?"

Concubine Xin shrugged her shoulders, "The Han people say that people with the same surname belonged to the same family 500 years ago...Swapping the chief eunuch in front of the emperor with his own family, do you think Ling Guifei's trick is high?"

"She already lived in the Yongshou Palace, which is the closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation; if the emperor has such a family by her side, she will naturally be able to hold the emperor firmly in her palm. It's no wonder that she has been able to always I know the heart of the emperor best—what’s the problem, I’m just well-informed.”

Lan Guiren's eyes widened.

Concubine Xin sighed, "Now the empress dowager can't stop her from entering the throne, and the emperor even ignored the ancestor's rules because of her. Then what does she want to do in this harem, who else can stop her?"

Lan Gui's heart fluctuated violently.

"It's not nobody, there's also the Queen!"

Concubine Xin tilted her head and thought for a while, "Empress? That's right. It's just that the empress is getting older, and she no longer has the vigor she had when she was young, and she has fewer and fewer disputes with the emperor face to face. Now, her whole heart is on the verge of death. That’s all for the second elder brother. As long as it’s not related to the twelfth elder brother’s position as the heir apparent, the empress might not care about anything.”
.
Lan Guiren stared at Concubine Xin.

"Although originally the fourteenth elder brother Yong Lu had no hope of retaining the position; but now that the concubine Ling Gui is already a noble concubine, and the son is as precious as the mother, wouldn't Yong Lu threaten the twelve elder brother Yong Xi?"

Concubine Xin raised her eyebrows appreciatively, and clapped her hands lightly, "Sister Lan is so smart."

Lan Guiren sneered slightly, "If something happened to Yonglu, I believe the Empress would like to see it."

Concubine Xin nodded with a smile, "Not only the Empress, but Concubine Yu would also like to see it."

Lan Guiren stood on the spot, his eyes seemed to be swaying like mist with the wind.

But in the end, she still shook her head, "No, I won't do this! After all, I don't have any children, so what am I trying to plot against her children? It's just that the person with the child behind him is happy!"

"What I want is not this. I don't want to be used as a gun!"

Concubine Xin was a little disappointed, but she also smiled, and said, "No, even if I have a child, I'm still just a princess. Those princes are fighting for something that has nothing to do with us."

Lan Guiren came back and sat down, bowed his head for a while, but smiled faintly, "Although it has nothing to do with us, we don't need to make calculations about it. But sister Xin is right about one thing—I'm afraid Concubine Yu is willing to do it."

"Concubine Ling was promoted to Noble Concubine, and it was Concubine Yu's position that was taken away; Concubine Ling's Yong Lu was thus honored according to her mother. Apart from threatening Yong Xing, why didn't she threaten Fifth Elder Brother Yong Qi?"

"If the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, if the sons are to be ranked in the order of their mother's honor, Yong Lu will naturally be ranked ahead of Yong Qi."
.
Concubine Xin raised her eyes to stare at Lan Guiren, and also smiled faintly.

Slowly said, "Sister Lan is really smart and charming, she deserves to be a member of Niu Hulu's family."

The nobleman of Lan sneered, "My Niu Hulu family, at any rate, had a queen and a noble concubine during the time of Lord Kangxi; now there is another empress dowager. The women of Niu Hulu's family used to be at the top of the harem these years. I have long been familiar with these tricks in the harem; and the man of my Niu Hulu family has the meritorious service and courage of the founding minister, and he has been named a prince in the previous dynasties. What power struggles have you never seen?"

"Born as Gege of Niu Hulu's family, even if I am young, even if I just entered the palace and suffered some disadvantages, how dare I shame the ancestors of Niu Hulu's family?"

Concubine Xin clapped her hands too, "Sister Lan said so."

Concubine Xin sighed as she spoke, "It's just a pity that Concubine Qing has moved to Jingren Palace. If Concubine Qing and Concubine Yu still live together in Chuxiu Palace, I believe Concubine Yu will do something sooner or later..."

Lan Guiren also squinted his eyes, "Although that's the case, fortunately there is still an E Chang in my Jingren Palace... If something happens to Yonglu, just follow the trend and push it to Concubine Yu."

Concubine Xin giggled, "Who says it's not! If you want to fight against Concubine Ling, you can't count on E Changzai; but when it comes to plotting against children, E Changzai has rich experience and is worth entrusting."

Lan Guiren was startled, "How do you say that?"

Concubine Xin refused to tell the whole story, but just lowered her head and smiled, "If you want to use someone, you have to test her in advance to make her unusable. Sister Lan, don't you think so?"
.
December is here, and the palace is preparing for the New Year, and after the celebration of the Empress Dowager's birthday, it becomes even more lively.

Good news also came from the fifth prince's institute, saying that his concubine, Mrs. Hu, was pregnant with another boy.

Because they all lived in the palace this time, they didn't have to travel between the Yuanmingyuan and the palace like last time, so even the emperor visited them twice in person.

The emperor cared about such a "lost and found" child, and Concubine Yu cared even more.

Especially Concubine Yu was afraid of making people laugh if she stayed in the palace after she had no hope of becoming a noble concubine, so she put all her heart on Yong Qi, the child who was about to be born.

After the rumors in the palace arose, Yu Rui quietly returned to Wanxi, "...Master, don't worry, the imperial doctors have made arrangements, and they must open the same mouth to speak. Before the child falls to the ground, they will all say yes." boy."

Wanxi raised her eyes to look at Yurui, "No one doubted it?"

Yu Rui chuckled, "Sister, don't worry, why would anyone doubt it? Of course Fifth Brother and Concubine Yu had long hoped that the baby would still be a boy, so it was when others didn't say that, and they themselves wished it was true." Put this kind of words out; now the imperial physician just said, 'It seems vaguely, it seems to be a male pulse', they already believe it a hundred times, and they will never ask more questions."

Wanxi nodded, "For the time being, the matter of this child is tied up. Concubine Yu and E Chang are here, and the queen is included, so there will be no disturbances for the time being."

"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the situation will be calm and calm, and it will be enough when the little deer gets the pox next year."

Yong Lu's first year of life has passed two years old, and she has reached the age of vaccination.Qin Tianjian had already given Yonglu the auspicious time to vaccinate, which was the beginning of the new year.

Counting the possible day when Yongqi's second child will be born, it will be around that time.If you can take advantage of the child's matter to temporarily tie the hearts of those people, it will also make the matter of the little deer's vaccination more peaceful.
.
In December, the emperor's state affairs also focus on the transition from old to new.

On the fifth day of December, the emperor was promoted to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and civil and military officials were promoted to thank the officials.

On the eighth day of December, an official decree was issued: "The sixth son of the emperor, Yong Rong, will inherit the queen of Shenjun and worship him as the king. He will be named Baylor and will take office next year."

With a decree, all the thoughts of pure imperial concubine Su Wanrou's life have finally come to an end at this moment.

In her life, there were two princes. The eldest son, the third elder brother Yongzhang, was deprived of the right to inherit by the emperor at the age of 13; the second son, Yongrong, was officially succeeded in this year.

The two sons, even though they are princes, have nothing to do with the throne anymore.

Although Concubine Chun had known about this news for a long time, there are still some differences between "rumors" and the official decree.As long as the emperor's decree does not come out, it seems that there is still a little hope left.

Therefore, after the death of Shenjun Wang Yunxi last year, the emperor sent Yong Rong to deliver the "Duoluo Sutra" and she had already had a lot of heart, but she was still able to hold on at that time. fall down.

The fourth princess came to invite Wanxi crying, and the moment she grabbed Wanxi's hand, the cold fingertips made Wanxi startled.

"Aunt Ling... my mother's illness this time is different from the past. I'm really afraid that my mother's illness will never recover again."

Wanxi stretched out her arms to embrace the fourth princess, "Silly boy, don't say stupid things. It's just that it's cold in December, and your mother is already weak, so she got the cold."

Yu Rui also stepped forward to stare at her, "The fourth princess must not let people say that the pure noble concubine fell ill because of the sixth elder brother's matter... I can only say that it is cold and windy."

The fourth princess hastily wiped away tears, "I remember. Even these tears will only come to Yongshou Palace; in front of outsiders, they don't want to see them!"

Wanxi hurried to Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Chun couldn't get up on the kang anymore.

When Wanxi arrived, Concubine Chun stretched out her hand weakly, and grabbed Wanxi's hand.

She wanted to laugh, but in the blink of an eye, the tears flowed down first, "When Shujia was leaving, I left you alone. I also said at that time, why is this so? Only when I have such a day, I know that it is so. Doing is the last wish."

Wanxi didn't want to cry, but when she shook her head, there were still water marks on her cheeks.

"Sister Chun, don't talk nonsense. It's just the wind and cold. Sister Chun will definitely get better after a few days of care."

Concubine Chun smiled hard, "Get better? My heart disease still needs to be healed by heart medicine. If I get better, unless the emperor withdraws his order, I won't be called Yong Rong's successor; or if the emperor destroys the foreword 11 years ago, I won't be called My Yongzhang will be wronged like that again."

"As mothers, we have given birth to two princes to the emperor, and we are also in the position of imperial concubine. We always think that we can fight for something for our sons—but look, how the emperor treats him My two princes?"

"The emperor - he is so cruel!"

She is also a mother, how can Wanxi not understand the heart of a pure noble concubine.

Concubine Chun wiped the tears from her face vigorously, "I wanted to fight back then, but gradually, I also understood, after all, we are Han Chinese, how can the country of the Qing Dynasty be entrusted to a prince who is half of Han blood?" Inheritance?"

"But your majesty, if he doesn't want to hand over the throne to my two princes, then he won't give it up; and why does he have to make his words so clear, and each of them has to issue an edict, so merciless Tell the world face to face, huh?"

"He just didn't say anything, and quietly told my child to stop thinking about it. Isn't that okay?"

Wanxi wept and could only shake her head.

Concubine Chun sighed, trying to laugh, "The emperor actually wants to tell the world that he will not hand over the throne to a child with half Han blood. He is trying to reassure the relatives and ministers of Manchuria, isn't it?" ?”

Wanxi reached out to wipe away the tears for Concubine Chun, and pulled the quilt for Concubine Chun again, "Sister Chun, listen to me: Since the emperor's decree has been issued, let's not go back and think about it. It's better to think about the future. It is possible to arrange the future for the third elder brother and sixth elder brother, that's all."

"It's just that if you can't inherit the great position, what's the point of being a happy prince? We have been in the palace all these years, and we have seen with our own eyes the emperor's exhausting thoughts every day... Our children, why do we have to do that?"

Concubine Chun was still crying.

"Prince Xiaoyao? Wanxi, since the children are born in the emperor's family, there is no such thing as 'Xiaoyao', and some will always be 'successful and defeated. People push that way."

"Look at my Yongzhang, he has been sick in bed wrapped in cotton for several years now, and it is a disease caused by grievances... What about my Yongrong, the emperor asked him to succeed, but the first seal was only given to one Baylor... I'm really afraid that Yongrong will lose his mind for a while and follow in Yongzhang's footsteps."

Wanxi persuaded softly, "It's the first time to seal Baylor, so why not? After all, the sixth elder brother is the successor of Shenjun King, so in the future, he must also be Shenjun King..."

"Junwang? Hehe..." Concubine Chun gently shook her head, "If he doesn't succeed, he should be a prince..."
.
Concubine Chun was so tired from crying that she fell into a drowsy sleep.

Wanxi got up and walked outside, and pulled the fourth princess who was already crying into tears.

"Nianhua, your mother-in-law is in a difficult mood right now, but you can't just cry with your mother-in-law like this. Your mother-in-law loves your two brothers, you have to pull them out first, help your mother-in-law, and watch calmly Take a look at the road ahead."

The fourth princess nodded vigorously and wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

Wanxi smiled happily, "Good boy. I told you once: I can't ask your sixth brother to follow in the footsteps of your third brother. Your third brother is depressed, and your sixth brother must look away. Your mother said now If you don’t come out with these words, only you can say these words.”
