Chapter 2305 Seven Volumes 5 Fortification ([-] words completed)
Yurui returned to Yuanmingyuan that night and reported the situation in Yongqi's residence to Wanxi.

After hearing this, Wan Xi was also a god for a while, and sighed, "It's a pity for the two little grandchildren, and it's also a pity for the two Ge Ge who had to be separated from each other just after becoming mothers."

Yu Rui also frowned, "Originally, we all hoped that the Hu family would give birth to an elder brother this time, so as to separate Concubine Yu and E Chang in their hearts, so that our fourteenth elder brother can prepare safely. Vaccination in March."

"God is sorry to see you, the Hu family really gave birth to an elder brother, which is exactly what we expected. It's just that the child was born prematurely."

Wanxi also slightly lowered her eyes, "So in this world, people's calculations are always not as good as heaven's calculations."

After Wanxi finished speaking, she smiled in relief and comforted Yurui, "It's okay. This is an accident. We can't count on this method, so we will think of another way. After all, there is still time, and there is still time for us to arrange anything."

But Yurui shook her head, "Sister, you are a good-natured girl, and you think it's not as good as God's calculation, but I think it's clearly a human calculation! It's just that this calculation is not aimed at us, it just happens to affect us. Let's go."

Wanxi raised her eyes when she heard the words.

"How do you say that? Could it be that Hu's premature birth was also artificial?"

Yurui nodded, "I heard from Yingyuan that these days are still good. Since the day of giving birth is still far away, Mrs. Hu still follows the rules to greet Fujin Fujin every morning when she wakes up."

"As a result, a layer of clear snow fell this morning, but a layer of ice formed under the clear snow. It couldn't be seen from the outside, but when Mrs. Hu stepped on it, he fell heavily to the ground."
.
Wanxi also narrowed her eyes.

"How could such a thing happen? The rules in the palace are so strict that even in winter, ice and snow are not allowed to be left on the ground in the courtyard. The sudden snow is fine, but how can there be any snow under the snow?" Going on ice?"

Yu Rui said, "No! That's why I feel that someone made the ice on purpose. Just in time for the first snowfall, I poured water on the ground, knowing the route that Hu's usually walks, and I succeeded!"

Wanxi nodded, "In the end, if the responsibility is pursued, the eunuch in charge of sweeping the floor will be held accountable, and the eunuch who is in charge of fetching water in Hu's house may be held accountable instead. No one else will be implicated for the time being. "

Yu Rui also hated it, "Exactly! When I came back, several eunuchs and women had already been sent to the Department of Punishment for interrogation."

Wanxi looked up at Yurui, "What about Yingyuan Gege, have you reminded her to be careful?"

Yurui couldn't help but sneer, "I think tonight, if those eunuchs and women don't ask questions tonight, the crime will be placed on Yingyuan's head tomorrow morning. I can't watch her suffer from being dumb, I should I have said everything I said; she has done all the preparations that should be made."

Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
.
Its daybreak.

Yongqi stayed up all night, her eyes were already red.

Concubine Yu also couldn't close her eyes all night. When Yong Qi and his wife Jin Xilinjueluo came to pay their respects in the morning, Concubine Yu was energetic, as if she had aged many years.

Yong Qi felt even more uncomfortable.

Concubine Yu didn't use Xilin Jueluo to serve her, she just asked her to go and see Hu's in person.Xilinjueluo's family resigned, and Concubine Yu grabbed Yongqi's hand.

"Son, after you get married, you still stay in the palace and have never left the palace to divide the mansion; then the matter of your heirs is different from that of your brothers. It is that every family has children who died young, but their final It's outside the palace, far away from the emperor; but you are in the palace, everything before and after the child's death has to be involved in the whole palace, and you, Huang Ama, have to personally intervene!"

"Two little grandchildren have died in a row...Yong Qi, you can't do this anymore. They can say that the children are blessed, or that Yingyuan and Borong are blessed, but your eldest son and second son died one after another, And they all disappeared as soon as they landed... This is hard to hide from the crowd, and I am afraid that someone will say that it is actually your bad luck."

Yong Qi's eyes dimmed, "Er Niang is right, someone will definitely say that!"

Concubine Yu clenched Yongqi's hand tightly, and lowered her voice, "From dawn this morning, you have to face these things. Just remember my words: when the child is gone, he has already gone, and you must not implicate anyone in your back house." Infighting is coming."

"It doesn't matter if Mrs. Hu gave birth prematurely, the child is gone, or whether someone is playing tricks behind her back—we just need to know this in our hearts, and we must not spread it, and we must not let Mrs. Hu talk nonsense."

"Otherwise, what will you think of you if you call you Huang Ama? It's not enough for two sons to die one after another. Shouldn't it be added that you can't even control the three women in your back house? If so, your Huang Ama How can I rest assured that such a large country will be entrusted to you?!"

Yong Qi's eyes flashed again, she looked at her mother, and nodded slowly.
.
After breakfast, Concubine Yu and Yong Qi looked normal on the surface.

They went to see Mrs. Hu together, and when Mrs. Hu saw them coming, she shed tears.

"Master Yu Concubine, Elder Brother, the Secretary of Punishment has sent back a message. Has anyone confessed to them?"

Yongqi and her mother looked at each other, then came forward to sit on Kang Yan'er, held Hu Borong's hand, and gently stretched out her hand to help her pull up the corner of the quilt that had slipped off, and help her cover it tightly.

"Although there is no definite word from the Department of Punishment yet, I figured that the reason must have come from the hands of these eunuchs and women. They are tired, and you are good-natured, so I sprinkled some water on it." I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect it to snow early in the morning, and then it turned into ice, which hurt you and our children."

"Don't worry, no matter what the Punishment Department's confession is, I will definitely not let them go."

Hu Borong was slightly taken aback, looking at Yongqi, she was already in tears.

"My elder brother has decided that this matter must be their fault? Not to mention the eunuchs, but the two rough envoys who fetched water have been by my side for the past two years Waiter. If it is their fault, then is it because I am not strict in discipline?"

"In the end, I fell and gave birth prematurely, so it was my own fault that caused me to die? Wouldn't that mean that some people would say that I deserved it?"

Although Hu Borong is a woman surnamed Han, she is so weak that she can't even lift herself up now, but she has just experienced the pain of bereavement, and now, in front of Concubine Yu, she said these words in words like Nail, there is a sound.

Concubine Yu frowned slightly when she heard this, and stepped forward.The woman next to Hu Borong hurriedly brought a chair, and helped Concubine Yu sit down.

Concubine Yu sighed softly, and reached out to caress Hu Borong's forehead, "Bo Rong, don't think so much. It should be the fault of the slaves, and it is natural to punish the slaves. Although the two maids are your housewife But after all, they are not the daughters of your family that you brought into the palace, after all, they were sent in by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"If you say that people are misjudged, it's because the Ministry of Internal Affairs misjudged you. It's up to you to ask the official's responsibility, and you won't be implicated."
.
Both Yongqi and Concubine Yu said the same thing, Hu Borong's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

She turned her face away slightly, her eyes avoided Yong Qi, and she no longer looked at Concubine Yu.

"I don't care about those two women's affairs. It's just, Concubine Yu's master, elder brother, how did the child go...I can't let go of this matter!"

Yong Qi frowned slightly, "What we're talking about now, isn't it about the children? It's because they were too lazy to remove the ice on the ground in time, which caused you to fall, and premature birth hurt the children." .”

In Hu Borong's ears, Yingyuan's words rang repeatedly.

Hu Borong looked back eagerly, and stared at Yong Qi, "My elder brother thought, I fell and gave birth prematurely, and the child died because of this? A fall is a fall, but the loss of the child is another matter. Elder brother can't Get confused!"

Yong Qi also opened her eyes suddenly, "What do you mean? Could it be that you fell down and disturbed the baby, so the baby was born prematurely, and the baby couldn't keep it?"

Hu Borong chuckled, "I am a mother. No one knows better than me what a child will look like when it is born. Although the child is born prematurely, it is not a month that cannot be kept; when the child falls to the ground, Still crying loudly, everything is fine!"

Yongqi's complexion changed, and he and Concubine Yu looked at each other again.

Concubine Yu also said, "What did you notice?"

With a pale face, Hu Borong slowly closed his eyes.

"After the baby was born, Elder Brother and Concubine Yu were busy going out to announce the good news. For a while, the room was only supported by the maids, and no one was in charge."

Yong Qi frowned, "Why? When Er Niang and I went out, I clearly asked Fujin to take care of you in the room."

Concubine Yu also said, "E Chang was there at the time. With the two of them, how can no one decide?"

Hu Borong smiled, and the smile was very bleak, "...Really? Then I can't remember. I just gave birth at that time, and I was so tired that I didn't even know my mind. I just wanted to sleep. "

"I'm just thinking about the child, and I can't bear to sleep to death. After sleeping for a while, I barely open my eyes to take a look."

Yong Qi's breathing became rapid, "So, what exactly did you see?"

Concubine Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she stretched out her hand to grab Yong Qi, "Bo Rong also said that she was exhausted at that moment, half asleep and half awake. She just saw something, would she know?" Is it a dream, or is it the wrong person?"

Hu Bo turned his head eagerly, and stared at Concubine Yu closely, "...The servant will not misunderstand the person. The servant saw that Echang was standing beside the child, covering the child with a quilt. But she didn't let go immediately after covering the quilt, It seems that he deliberately suppressed it with his hands, and suppressed it for a while."

Yong Qi stood up abruptly, "What? You said E Chang is here?"

Concubine Yu also hurriedly stood up, reached out and grabbed Yong Qi's arm tightly, "Yong Qi, calm down first!"
.
Concubine Yu dragged Yong Qi out of the room, and pulled Yong Qi to blow the cold wind outside the door.

"Are you crazy? Do you really want to follow Borong's words and doubt E Changzai? What is Borong's identity, but you are the servant woman in the elder brother's office, and you gave birth to a child for you, but you failed to survive "But E is always here, she is the emperor's harem!"

"According to seniority, this is called disrespecting elders; if based on status, this is called committing crimes against superiors!"

Yong Qi also took a deep breath, "But Er Niang, don't forget, this child is not only Bo Rong's child, but also has a bearing on his son's reputation. If someone harms my child, he means to harm me!"

"Are you stupid?" Concubine Yu lightly gave her son a punch, "If you talk about other concubines in the harem who have sons, they might do this; but who is that, it's E Changzai!"

"Not to mention she doesn't have a son, she is your cousin of Fujin! Their E family has bet all their revival on you, how could she harm you?"

Yong Qi narrowed her eyes, "Er Niang is saying that it is impossible for E Changzai to harm this child?"

Concubine Yu lowered her head and pondered for a while.

The wind in the first month is like a thin blade, cutting across the human face.

"You can't say that..." Concubine Yu raised her eyes, narrowed her eyes slightly, and fixed Yong Qi, "After all, the two maids around you have children one after another. Although E Changzai won't harm you, it's still based on her sister's status as your son-in-law Fujin; therefore, it's not impossible for her to move Borong's mind for her sister. "

Yongqi's throat twitched, "That's my child too! How can I let her go?"

Concubine Yu still held Yongqi tightly, "That's my grandson too, do you think I won't be sad?"

"But the child is gone, so what's the point of going back and pursuing it? At this moment, you should think about the future, think about how to get through this difficult time, and don't ask anyone to tell you in front of your Huang Ama. What is not good for you is to go!"
.
Yongqi's brows turned cold, "That's okay. I might as well tell Huang Ama, if Fujin is really involved, I simply ask for an order to abolish this Fujin! Or ask Huang Ama to refer to Fujin, or just leave it blank." For Fujin's seat, Yingyuan should be appointed as the side Fujin to be the head of the family."

Concubine Yu closed her eyes, "...I know, you already have this kind of heart. You dislike your Ama for pointing out Ertai's granddaughter as Fujin, which has delayed your future; you have long wanted to use Yingyuan to come Cling to Imperial Concubine Ling, and Guan Bao and De Bao from her mother's house."

"It's not wrong for you to think so. After all, the noble concubine is favored, and has more weight in the emperor's heart than your mother-in-law; Guanbao and Debao are also former officials, and they are more and more important."

Yong Qi frowned slightly, "Don't worry about Er Niang, how can the imperial concubine compare with Er Niang?"

Concubine Yu raised her eyes slowly, and the light in her eyes turned cold, "But don't forget, Concubine Ling also has a son! If a son is more precious than his mother, now that Yong Rong has been heir, the two sons of Concubine Chun are useless." among the current princes, besides the son Yongzhen, Yonglu is already the second in line!"

"The imperial concubine ordered her to have a son not to help her. Could it be possible to turn around and help you go just because of Rui Chang's presence?"
.
Yongqi was stunned, staring at her mother, unable to speak for a while.

Concubine Yu sighed, and lowered her head, "All these years, Concubine Ling has been kind to you; but the premise is that she was unable to give birth to a child, let alone a prince. Now that she has a prince, Yong Lu is growing up day by day; not to mention She has just been conferred the title of imperial concubine..."

Concubine Yu raised her head and stared straight at Yong Qi.

"That's the only remaining imperial concubine. Originally, she was the most promising concubine this year. However, she was the first to occupy the imperial concubine position. Then her Yonglu is already more expensive than her mother, and she is ranked ahead of you." !"

Yong Qi shook her body.

"That's right, Er Niang was right to remind me. I just want to serve Concubine Ling wholeheartedly. I'm afraid that Concubine Ling won't care about my feelings anymore."

Concubine Yu sighed sadly, "As my mother, I am in the harem, and I am not favored. I just want to fight for you, and the situation is very difficult. Therefore, I can't be alone, I need someone to help me."

"Concubine Ling is doomed not to be counted on. On the contrary, E Changzai... She is willing to think of you wholeheartedly. On the contrary, she is willing to stand with me in everything and help me in everything."

Concubine Yu's head drooped lower and lower, she shook her head for a long time, raised her head with a sigh, and grabbed her son's hand.

"Yongqi, I don't feel well at the bottom of my heart. But this E is always there. I need her in the harem as a mother; you will also need her in your future, my son. Therefore, we can't take Borong's words seriously, let alone take her seriously. You can't do stupid things just because of this sentence."

"Besides, maybe Bo Rong is half asleep or half awake, or is she speaking nonsense in a hurry?"
.
Yongqi's throat was constricted again, and she staggered, already shedding tears.

"Mother, that's my son..."

Concubine Yu has become firm now, and there are no more tears in her eyes.

"You are still young! Yong Qi, you are only 19 years old this year! Your good life has just begun, and your future is still long. The most important thing for you right now is not to have children. After all, your Huang Ama has no shortage of grandchildren." , no matter what happens to your child, I’m afraid it’s no match for Mian De and Mian En.”

"Your top priority right now is to figure out how to get your Empress to make you the heir apparent first! When you successfully ascend to the Great Treasure, how many children do you want in the future?"

"Although the child in front of you is pitiful, he is by no means your only child. If you get a big position in the future, if you feel reluctant to part with Bo Rong and this child, you can pursue this child as you like; as for Bo Rong, She's still young, so you should pamper her just like you did to Yingyuan, that's all."

Yong Qi stared blankly at her mother.The firm look in her mother's eyes also infected Yong Qi.

Yongqi gradually calmed down, raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears in her eyes, and slowly stood up straight.

"Er Niang is right. For this matter, the eunuch and the girls should be held accountable. According to the palace rules, they should be severely punished, and Bo Rong should be let out."

Yong Qi raised her eyes to look at the sky, "In short, the future will be long."
.
Because the emperor had to go to the mausoleum in February, so the death of the little emperor's grandson in the first month, along with the punishment of the eunuch and the woman by the Department of Punishment, gradually calmed down and gradually disappeared.

Yurui felt a little dissatisfied, "It was such a good opportunity, I can take E Changzai to go. Even if she may not be able to do anything to her, at least it can make her restrain herself, so that she will not dare to do anything that hurts the child in the future." go."

"But I don't know what Fifth Elder Brother and Concubine Yu are thinking. This matter has not been pursued, but it has gone on so silently... It's cheaper, then E Chang is here!"

Wanxi cast her eyes long, "If this meeting is scary, I don't think E Changzai is so scary."

Yurui also narrowed her eyes slightly, looking up at Wanxi, "...Sister, you mean Concubine Yu and Brother Fifth, would you rather sacrifice this child?"

Wanxi sighed, "Since ancient times, it has been said that the Tian family has no family ties; I thought it was just brotherhood, but now it seems that it is more than that."

"Sure enough, someone is willing to risk everything for the position of the crown prince. Such a heart is the most terrifying."

Yu Rui bowed her head and thought for a while, then snorted and said, "It's not surprising that this happened to Concubine Yu! Otherwise, she was the first seal back then, and she had the lowest status in the entire hidden mansion, but why did she secretly conceive her?" The next prince will come and help her get to where she is today!"

Yurui also felt chilling when she said that, she couldn't help but look at Wanxi, "Sister, tell me, doesn't the emperor know what happened back then?"

Wanxi's eyes turned away, "...in our harem, the concubines are all given 'full life' from the age of 40. In addition to the regular rewards of Qianqiu, the whole life will also be rewarded with ninety-nine items , or nine silver ingots."

"In the 18th year of Qianlong's reign, Concubine Yu lived forty years. The emperor did not give Concubine Yu a reward for her entire life."

Yu Rui also clapped her hands, "I remembered it too, that's exactly the case. The Ministry of Internal Affairs once asked the emperor for instructions for Concubine Yu's [-]th birthday. Naturally, this is not something the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to forget, but the emperor did not reward it." Down."

Yuchan listened by the side, and was also taken aback, "How many full lives can people in the harem live? Besides, forty full life is the first time to live a full life, the emperor can't do it anyway. Forget."

Yuying snorted softly, "...this concubine Yu is not favored, can't she not understand this matter? She is still looking forward to becoming a noble concubine!"
.
While the girls were talking, Wanxi gently took Yurui's hand, "...Even though I couldn't move this time, Echang is here, but things in Jingren Palace should be settled."

Yurui nodded, "Otherwise, Sister Qing is not easy to control, and our little deer will not be safe."

Wanxi lowered her eyes lightly, "Mr. Lan and E are always here. With such two people in Jingren Palace, it is inevitable that Sister Lu will not be able to take care of her left and right. But if both of them go, the movement will be a bit loud. Mr. Lan lives in Jingren Palace. The Ren Palace was personally appointed by the Empress Dowager, so it is not appropriate to move her out."

Wanxi slowly raised her head and sat up straight.

"Lan Guiren and E are always here, so let's go and keep one."

"You don't need to get Sister Lu and Concubine Yu involved, it's enough for Lan Guiren and E Changzai to rub themselves against each other."

Yu Rui's eyes turned slightly, and she also smiled, "Sister, good idea."
.
It's February, although the capital is still a bit chilly in spring, but after all, people can't freeze the water. After that, the ice in the lake has thawed, and the soil under the ground has already smelled earthy.

Wanxi went to the island for a walk, and at the "Quanshi Self-Entertainment", she happened to meet Mai Rick.

At this moment, Mai Rick has not yet officially entered the seal, and her identity is still a well-behaved woman, so she met Wanxi and greeted her with a big gift.

Wanxi noticed that although Mai Rick's expression was still reserved, he was more proactive in saluting, and he was more disciplined than the day he watched the show.

It can be seen that she has been in Nala's palace these days, and Nala must have taught her strictly; entering this harem, no matter how much pride you have, will eventually be smoothed by the strict palace rules. .

Wanxi smiled and helped Mai Rick up, wanted to speak, but finally held back, and still only smiled in return.

Mailik noticed it, so he tried to smile, and took the initiative to use Mongolian to say, "The concubine's heart is accepted by the concubine. It doesn't matter, let the concubine use Mongolian."

"After all, there are very few people in this palace who can speak our Hui language, and we can't ask everyone to be like the emperor. If my concubine can't understand Mongolian, no one can speak in this harem, and I will die of suffocation. gone."

Wanxi nodded with a smile, pulled Merik into the corridor and sat down, but looked at her with a smile, "How about this, let's use Mongolian for now; but from now on, I will teach you to speak Chinese, and you will teach me to speak Mongolian." Your words. In this way, in a short time, we can abandon Mongolian, or use Chinese, or use your words. How about it?"
.
Mai Rick's eyes lit up immediately, and he fixed his gaze on Wanxi, "Is Ling Guifei really willing to learn from us?"

Wanxi nodded seriously, "Actually, I have long wanted to learn what you say, before you entered the palace, or even before I knew there was such a person as you, I already wanted to learn."

Merik frowned, "Why?"

Wanxi smiled, eyes half-closed, "Because I know that there is a Mrs. Reimu in your ministry. I have admired her for a long time, and I often imagine that if she can come to Beijing with Eduberke to see her, I will definitely to meet her."

"Since we want to meet, I have to learn to say a few words of your words so that I can talk to her."

Mai Rick's eyes became even brighter, "Reimu? E to Burke? Ling Guifei actually knows about them?"

Wan Xi nodded with a smile, "I also know many other people, such as Emin and Zhuo, and Yusububel from Hami... But they are all men, and they can't compare to my fascination for Mrs. Reimu."

There were tears in Merik's eyes.

She turned sideways, trying her best not to be seen by Wanxi.But while taking a deep breath, he still choked up a little, "It turns out that there are still people in the harem of the Qing Dynasty who don't regard us as aliens."

Wanxi's heart skipped a beat.

Throughout the ages, there has been a saying that although it has some truth, it is also full of fallacies.Because the appearance, beliefs, and living habits of Huibu are very different from those in the mainland, it is conceivable that Merik felt uncomfortable in the harem.Under such a situation, I am most afraid that people will look at her with this kind of eyes and such words.

Wanxi smiled lightly, and tried to reach out to touch Mai Rick's hand, "Hey? How can we say that we are far away? Didn't we agree that we should learn each other's words?"

Yuchan had already brought a pen and ink to serve her.

Wanxi picked up the pen, and smiled at Mailik, "I'll teach you a Chinese character first."

Mai Rick was also attracted by the pen and ink, nodded and waited.

Wanxi held her breath and concentrated, ink on the paper, and wrote a big word - "窅".

Merik stared at the word, looking at it curiously.

Wanxi taught her with a smile, "This word reads 'bite'... Our Chinese characters have meanings in both form and sound. Look at this character, it is 'sunken deep eyes' when decomposed."

Wanxi raised her eyes and stared at Mirik with a smile, "This is exactly what your eyes look like."
