Chapter 2304 Seven Volumes 4 Premature Birth ([-] words completed)
The emperor stared at Nala's with indifferent eyes, smiled, but shook his head.

"No need. I've already made a decision, Mai Rick will choose to enter the palace."

"If the queen insists on saying that it is not the year of selection, it is actually my fault. Last year was the year of selection of women, and it was originally around August last year that Zhaohui was going to send Eser Yin and the others to Beijing to meet your majesty. It was my fault. Stop it, tell Er Se Yin and the others to continue to stabilize and return to Xinjiang in the northwest and serve for the court, and the entry to Beijing was postponed until January this year."

"If they had already come to Beijing to meet His Majesty at that time, then I would have called Mailik into the palace at that time. It is not against the year of selection... If the queen still insists on pursuing this at this time, then then It's not my fault."

The emperor smiled, and his eyes lightly fell on Mai Rick's face, "It's not because of my change, but it will delay Mai Rick's youth for two or three years."

After hearing this, Wanxi smiled lightly.

Yuqin also sighed softly, "No, this Huibu princess looks to be 27 or [-] years old; if she delays her visit by another two years, she will be over [-] again. The harem of the Qing Dynasty can't always Take a woman of this age into the palace."

The emperor turned his eyes to look at the Nala clan, with an undiminished smile on his face, "Again, even if this year is not the year for women to be selected, I will make this exception for the family of heroes. The Zhan brothers are in the same ranks, have a heart for the court, and send troops to help the court, this is a contribution to the community!"

Now that the emperor's words have come to this, Nala could only take a deep breath, and nodded with a forced smile, "It's all up to the emperor."
.
Nala sat up straight again, raised her chin slightly, and looked around at the concubines in the hall.

"Since Mailik has already entered the palace, I don't know which palace the emperor will arrange for Mailik? Everything in the Ministry is completely different from our mainland. The food, drink, and sleeping are all different from ours. Son. The concubine can't think of which palace to point Merik to."

The emperor also nodded and smiled, "The queen and I have thought of going together. The queen is right. The customs of returning to the Ministry are very different from those in the mainland. I am also worried that it will not be suitable for any palace."

The emperor stretched out his hand towards Nalashi.

Nalashi was startled, a bittersweet feeling welled up in his heart, he raised his hand to meet the emperor's hand.

The emperor shook Nala's hand with a smile, "If this is the case, I am most assured that the queen will come and teach Mailik herself. Let her learn the rules in your palace."

Nala's terrier.

Before the momentary sweetness could be swallowed from the throat, the throat became stuck.

Nala smiled hard, "As the middle palace, it is my duty to teach the internal affairs. It's just that there are Lin Guiren and Yi Guiren living with me in my palace... I am worried, buy Rick After entering the concubine's palace, there are not many houses to arrange, which made Mailik feel wronged."

As Nala spoke, she lowered her voice and whispered to the emperor, "I have heard that they don't want to mix with others in what they eat and drink, so it's hard to build a separate kitchen for her, even the cooks and servants, the internal management, etc. The leader, the servant Sura... all come with a single group of people?"

"In addition, what she worships is not the same god as ours, so is it possible to build another chapel for her besides the small Buddhist hall in the concubine's palace?"

The emperor thought about it, but smiled approvingly, "The queen is thoughtful, so she should do it this way."

Nala's complexion suddenly turned pale, "...If this is the case, how can there be so many houses available in the concubine's palace?"

The emperor nodded with a smile, and patted Nala's hand lightly, "The empress is also a little bit aggrieved, and it is enough to make room for two or three rooms in the house you are currently using."

Nala gasped softly, "The emperor...does he want this concubine to live in this middle palace, to make room for a woman who is new to the palace to learn the rules?"

The emperor still smiled and nodded gently, "The empress's mother respects the world, she loves the people like her own son, and treats all the concubines in the harem as her own sisters. The empress must be able to do this, and I am most at ease. Otherwise... the empress will not lose her virtue ?”
.
Nala finally couldn't speak, and could only stare fixedly at the emperor.

There was no trace of hesitation in the emperor's face and eyes, his path was as gentle as water and as warm as the spring sun.

Nala couldn't help but withdrew his hand abruptly, stopped looking at the emperor, and sat upright.

The emperor still had a gentle smile on his face, so he naturally withdrew his hand, and his eyes swept across the concubines warmly.

Merik was still standing on the ground, so the emperor got up, walked over in person, and said a few words to Merik—these words were incomprehensible to everyone present.

Concubine Yu introduced to Wanxi, "This is the language of Huibu."

Wan Xi nodded with a smile, "I've always been curious about the language of Huibu. I think it must be the same as those used by businessmen and women in the Western Regions in ancient times. Today, I finally heard it."

Wanxi looked back and explained to Yuqin with a smile, "The emperor has always treated all the tribes under his banner as equals. Therefore, the emperor is not only proficient in Manchu, Chinese, and Mongolian, but also Korean, Oros, The words of Tibetans in Miaojiang and Xueyu in the southwest can also be used with ease."

"Now that the chaos in Huibu has been settled, the emperor can even speak so well about Huibu."

Yuqin was so shocked that she couldn't help but stare, "When I entered the palace, I could only speak Chinese, but I couldn't speak Manchu. It was you who taught me, and I had to learn it for several years before I could barely understand it... The emperor can Learn so many words?"

Wanxi smiled and blinked, "That's not all. There are foreigners in the Qin Tianjian. I also heard that the emperor learned Europa's words from the foreigners in the Qin Tianjian."

Concubine Ying also opened her mouth, "...Did the emperor make up his mind a long time ago and want to choose some women to enter the palace? The emperor just learned to answer for this, right? It seems that the emperor likes her very much."
.
Concubine Ying's words made Yuqin and the others feel sad.

After all, the girls in that department were born with beautiful facial features, which made them a little ashamed of themselves.

Wanxi quietly made a face at Concubine Ying, "Oh, did my rice wine spill out? Why is there a sour smell from my nose?"

Concubine Ying blushed, "It makes my sister laugh at me again!"

Wanxi smiled and nodded at the few people, "No. This is just the court's quelling the rebellion of the Hui tribe, but it's not the first time the Hui tribe surrendered to the court—for example, Emin and Zhuo in Turpan sent troops to help during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. The imperial court conquered Junggar; in the tenth year of Yongzheng, he was named the Duke of Zhasak by the late emperor."

"Thus, the emperor should have started learning the language of Huibu when he was a prince, not just for a Huibu girl."

Concubine Ying stuck out her tongue with a blushing face, "Let me tell you! Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have learned it so quickly. Listen, those words are still muttering, it's quite difficult to learn~"

Concubine Wan was still sitting steadily, seeing that Yuqin and Concubine Ying had said enough, she reached out and pressed Wanxi lightly.

"When you were watching the play, you could listen to Concubine Yu's reminder and speak to her in Mongolian, but you didn't say so; and today, the emperor didn't speak to her in Mongolian, but specially used their tribe's language. speech……"

Wanxi raised her eyes knowingly, and blinked with Wanpin.
.
After the emperor settled the matter, he handed Merik to the Nala family. He got up and left with a smile, and went to "the mountains are high and the rivers are long". Keshan, Qilike, Bollor, Breut, and the envoys of various ministries and other tea fruits.

Everyone knows that "Tiandi Family Spring" will have a lot of troubles to buy Rick in order to settle down, so they all get up and leave.

Everyone walked out together, and the topic of conversation naturally revolved around this Merik.

The concubine Yu and nobleman Xiang, who are from Elut Mongolia and have lived together in different places for many years, have become the focus of everyone's consultation.

Concubine Yu was by Wanxi's side, so she didn't talk too much; on the contrary, Mrs. Xiang said rather complacently, "Sisters live in the interior, and haven't seen a few Huibu girls before, so I think that Mai Like is beautiful. ...My mother's family lived in the Western Regions in the past few years, and I have seen all kinds of Huibu beauties. To be honest, this Mai Like's appearance is just average among the Huibu girls, nothing special .”

Lady Lan nodded after hearing this, "But after all, she is from the He Zhuo family. With the status of the He Zhuo family in the Ministry of Hui, her mother's family is also prominent. What's more, the emperor just named her uncle as assistant." Duke, her brother is a first-class Taiji."

"Prominent status?" Xianggui covered his mouth and laughed instead, and even bent over with a smile, "If you want to say that their family has a prominent status, it's fine to tell the tribe; but don't come in front of us Mongolians. Let’s talk about it. Otherwise, we’re really going to laugh out loud..."

Wanxi frowned when she heard this, and glanced lightly at Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu also agreed, and said softly, "Don't worry, Nang Nang, naturally I won't be as open-minded as her."

Yuqin was a little confused, so she quickly asked Wanxi, "What kind of riddles are you playing? When you were watching the play, you deliberately didn't speak Mongolian in front of Mai Rick, but she can understand Mongolian... Guizi Naxiang is so proud again. What's going on here?"
.
Thanks to Wanxi who has been reading "Mr. Fox" Zhao Yi's notes in recent years; and Zhao Yi was once a guest of Liu Tongxun's family, and Liu Tongxun was the person in charge of "Pictures of the Western Regions". The description of the Western Regions is quite detailed and informative, so Wanxi also has a considerable understanding of the various tribes and Hui tribes of Erut who live in the Western Regions.

Even if concubine Yu didn't need to explain this meeting, Wanxi could accurately tell the whole story.

"...When Junggar ruled the Western Regions, the Hui tribe was threatened by it. The Hui tribe Hezhuo were all driven to the northeast of Ili by the Junggar people and became prisoners. Not only did the Hezhuo family no longer have a dignified status in Ili, they even had to plant their own to feed themselves."

"They can understand and speak Mongolian, and they were forced to learn it during those days. That's why I try not to use Mongolian in front of her..."

Wanxi also sighed softly as she spoke, "For the Hezhuo family, it was an unbearable past. Mrs. Xianggui's mother's family used to be Zaisang of Junggar, and she used to take care of the Hezhuo family in Yili. Therefore, she has urinated since she was a child. I am used to despising them, so I am so proud now."

Concubine Ying stared fiercely at Noble Xiang Xiang, "What is this? You get so proud when you poke someone's scars! Calling her my Noble Lady of Yanxi Palace, I'm really going to blush in the face!"

Yuqin also said to Concubine Yu, "Your Majesty Xiang is right, we must not say that. Even if you return to our Jingren Palace and close the palace gate, even if Noble Lan wants to ask you, you should keep your mouth shut. "

Seeing that Yuqin has naturally assumed the majesty of the lord of the first palace, Wanxi couldn't help but stare at her with a smile.

Concubine Yu hurriedly saluted, "Concubine Qing, don't worry. Who doesn't have old scars in their hearts? Today we expose others', and it is inevitable that others will expose us in the future. This is not worth the candle."

Concubine Ying sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "I really admire Sister Qing now. In my Palace of Yanxi Palace, it's not so restrained."

Yuqin shook her head and smiled wryly, "Look at what you said, you didn't see that the person who made the most inquiries over there was the nobleman Lan in my palace? It's not easy for me and Concubine Yu to say such things with nobleman Nalan Make sense?"

Wanxi listened, lowering her eyebrows slowly.

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, not to mention that in our harem, each palace is closed, it looks like a family, but in fact the people under the same roof are not relatives."

"It's as small as one palace, as big as our six east and west palaces, or even add the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Taifei Palace, the whole harem...the reason is the same."

"In the past, we ourselves were servants in the palace, and someone above us took the lead, so we had to bow our heads and listen; but now, we are all old, and each is the master of a palace, so we can no longer bow our heads and endure it. It's the rules."

Wanxi raised her eyes slowly, her eyes were quiet, she looked at Yuqin and Concubine Ying, "Since there are many people in the palace, there are also many hearts and minds, then it's okay for us to just let it go. It's time for us to straighten up , clean up your own palace first."

Wanxi shook the hands of Yuqin and Concubine Ying from left to right, "The ancients said, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?"

Yuqin and Concubine Ying's eyes fixed at the same time, and then they looked at each other, and then they both turned their heads to look at Wanxi, and nodded.

"You're right, it's time. In the past, we had to listen to others, but now we have to learn to obey others."
.
Several people bid farewell to the small pier on the back lake.

Wanxi and Yurui boarded the ice boat back to "Natural Picture".

Yu Rui then said softly, "Sister Ying's palace is okay, but a nobleman from Xiang is picky; but in sister Qing's Jingren Palace, Lan Guiren and E are always there, which makes people worry."

Wan Xi nodded, "I don't see Concubine Yu and E Chang here today..."

Yu Rui also frowned, "The servant is also surprised. Could it be that Mrs. Hu is about to give birth? But it's not right, it was originally said that the birth of the spring is coming, and this is only in the first month..."

Wanxi also frowned slightly, "When you go back, hurry up and ask."

As soon as Wanxi returned to the island and took a nap on her side, Yu Rui hurried in, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Hu really gave birth early!"

Wanxi lost all sleepiness and sat up all at once.

"...was born prematurely?"
.
Yurui followed Wanxi's order and hurried back to the palace from the Old Summer Palace, and when she arrived at the fifth elder brother's residence, the fifth elder brother's residence was already in a mess.

Everyone's faces were not happy, but panicked.

Yurui hurried to find Yingyuan Gege.

Yingyuan pulled Yurui into her room, glanced out, and said in a low voice, "It's a little brother."

Yu Rui hurriedly asked, "Since it's a little elder brother, it's a great happy event! Why are people talking like this inside and outside the institute? Could it be because of the premature birth, so Hu's health is not good?" ?”

Yingyuan sighed, "...so busy chattering is not only about the premature birth, but also—although the baby fell to the ground, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it."

Yu Rui was also startled, and stared blankly at Yingyuan for a while.

"You and the fifth elder brother failed to keep the eldest son. Could it be that the second elder brother Hu is also unable to keep it?"

Yingyuan also sat down sadly, patted her legs, and shed tears, "I don't know what evil I did... I can't keep one, and I can't keep everyone."

Yu Rui also shook her head, "If it is said that in the past the royal family also had the first few children who could not keep them, it was because of early marriage and young age; but the fifth elder brother is now twenty, and he is not young, the children he gave birth to It should not be impossible to keep it.”

Yingyuan shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Who knows? After all, people say it's our children's blessing, or they say that we mothers can't bear the burden of giving birth to the prince's heir..."

Yurui calmed down, but grabbed Yingyuan's hand.

"Then now, you have thought about it, how should you deal with it?"
.
Yingyuan was taken aback, "What does my sister mean when she says this...?"

Yurui frowned and said, "My silly girl, as soon as I heard that Mrs. Hu had given birth prematurely in the garden, I was concerned about you, and I hurriedly asked Master Ling for a favor, and then I rushed back to the palace to see you—you Think about it, women in the palace give birth prematurely, this will always be used by others, and can be used to harm others!"

"Both you and Mrs. Hu are concubines of the fifth elder brother, and they have children successively. You said that Mrs. Hu suddenly gave birth prematurely. If anyone suspects it, who will it be suspected?"

Yingyuan stood up in shock.

"My sister said that they will push this matter on me!"

Yu Rui sighed deeply, "This suspicion is already serious enough, if the little elder brother can't keep it, the responsibility will be even heavier! Now, while the little elder brother has not yet sent out the letter, you Just take a closer look in your heart."

Yingyuan stared at Yurui closely, and smiled with tears in her eyes for a while.

"I understand... we are both concubines of the prince, and we have children one after another; we are both young elder brothers, so we can't keep them together. This happened to be used by people, saying that it was the two of us Because the snipe and the clam are fighting."

"They can put the responsibility for not keeping my child on Hu's body; and then blame Hu's mother and child on me. In this way, both of our children are gone, and we have a reasonable explanation; And both of us deserve to die!"

Yurui also got up, and hugged Yingyuan, "That's exactly what happened... so you can't wait any longer, you have to clear your mind first, and wait until the little elder brother's letter is ready." Once you get down, you should act first!"
.
When the entire Forbidden City fell into the night, and the golden tiles and red walls were covered by the night, the letter finally came—the second son of Yongqi, born to the Hu family, had also died.

The eldest son born to Yingyuan survived for three days at least, until the time of washing the third son; the second son born to the Hu family was born on the same day, and he only came to this world for a look before leaving .

Hu shi cried so heartbreakingly that he wanted to hit his head on the ground several times, wanting to go with the child.

After all, I'm just a little girl, becoming a mother for the first time in this life, how can I bear the pain of losing a child like this; I can't think about it, I would rather die together, and I don't want my little child to walk that road to hell alone .

Concubine Yu and the fifth elder brother Fujin E clan saw that the situation was over, although they also comforted Hu clan, they still had to go out to face the crowd.

Concubine Yu has to report back to the emperor herself.

In Hu's house, there are only a few maids and women to take care of them, trying their best to prevent Hu from committing suicide.

Hu made a fuss for a while, and finally got tired.Lying in the tent in despair, her small face decayed like a fallen leaf.

Young-won walks in.

The women's servants all saluted Yingyuan as if they had seen a savior, and they all said, "Gege Yingyuan persuaded us to be Gee."

Yingyuan sat down, ordered hot water, twisted a towel, and gently wiped Hu's hair stuck to her forehead with sweat.

"I understand the pain of losing a child best in our institute. The unwillingness, despair and doubts in your heart now are exactly the same in my heart a few months ago."

"But, Borong," Yingyuan called Hu's nickname, "I can get better; no matter how difficult your life is, you have to get through it. You have to get better like me. .”

"Our first child is gone, but only when we get better can we have a second or third child... That's why our first child is gone. The child suffered a lot. What a grievance, and only when we get better, will we have a chance to look back and find out, right?"

Hu Borong's eyes turned and he squinted at Yingyuan.

"Sister, is she saying that she also feels that my child and I have been wronged? Or, that my sister lost her elder brother back then, and she has already found out, is there something hidden in it?"

Yingyuan nodded resolutely.

"My child is gone, but because of this, Elder Brother loves me very much. I'm not afraid to tell you: Elder Brother has spent more nights in my room in the past few months than Fujin Go out twice! The imperial doctor said that my body is recuperating very well, and I will recover quickly, and maybe I can have another child soon."

"Bo Rong, it is already a fact that your child is gone. No matter how uncomfortable you are, it is irreparable. If you want to, you might as well make good use of this matter, and on the contrary, you can win Elder Brother to love you more ..."

Hu Borong's choking became weaker and weaker, and he finally calmed down.

She looked at Yingyuan, "Sister, why did you help me?"

Yingyuan smiled, "Why am I helping you now? I'm helping myself. I'm afraid that when I wake up tomorrow morning, the clinic will blame me for your premature birth and the death of my elder brother. At that time, even if I want to talk to you, it will not be easy."

Hu Borong stared at Yingyuan closely, "Sister said so, so this matter must have nothing to do with my sister?"

Yingyuan smiled miserably, "I have suffered the same hardship; I dare to swear to you with the life of my whole family and the blessings of my descendants for the rest of my life in front of you!"

Hu Borong stared at Yingyuan for a long time, finally turned his gaze away, and nodded quietly, "Then I understand, it's her!"
